Louie (aka Dre) Bolster

My story

Please contact Mark (btfoha@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. Adoption Donation $299    Located: New England Age: approx. 10 years old Weight: 40 lbs.   Louie, also known as Dre, was picked up as a stray in a local city, and no one came looking for him, which really is surprising because he is such a sweet guy with a beautiful temperament and coat and appears to have been well cared for and loved. He loves being outside, going for walks, playing fetch, squeaky toys and going for rides in the car. He is very much a lapdog and would love someone to be around more than not. He does have some old man lumps and bumps that the vets says are fatty tumors and not of concern. One is larger than the others but does not cause him any discomfort. Louie could stand to lose a few pounds and would benefit from regular exercise and a healthy diet. He is happy to be out of the shelter and in a foster home but would really love a family of his own again. This guy is a younger 10 year old that still has pep in his step and plenty of life left to live and love to give. He is doing great with the 5 year old boy in his foster home.    If you are interested in adopting Louie/Dre please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:  btfoha@gmail.com  Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters.
