14. Lewis

Young · Male · American Staffordshire Terrier / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from North Brooksville

MEET LEWIS — A GENTLE GUY LOOKING FOR A GOOD PLACE TO LAND

Lewis is a young dog with a lot of growing up still ahead of him. And while he may not be the type of dog who demands the spotlight, there’s something especially endearing about this handsome boy.

Lewis is friendly and gentle, and he seems to appreciate a calm, kind approach. He has a sweet expression and those wonderfully floppy ears that give him plenty of personality without him having to say a word.

Read more about Lewis

Lewis is also a bit of a homebody! He’s okay with shorter car rides, but longer trips and extended time in the car aren’t really his idea of a good time. He’d much rather enjoy the comforts of home than spend hours on the road. If your idea of a good life involves a comfortable home, familiar routines, and enjoying the simple pleasures together, Lewis might be just your kind of guy.

At his age, Lewis has plenty of time to discover all the good things that life with the right person can offer—comfortable places to rest, regular walks, affection, patience, and the simple security of knowing he has someone he can count on.
He doesn't need to be the most outgoing dog in the room. He just needs someone willing to let him settle in, get comfortable, and show them who he is at his own pace.

Lewis is 1 1/2 yrs. old, weighs 71 lbs., and is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested and vaccinated.

Adopting a dog in North Brooksville

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
