My name is Louis Winthrop III, my paw-cousins Marla & Ossie call me Louie. While I was trying to sneak over to their house to hangout I was nabbed and these great folks asked me to spend the night. Once my Mommy and Auntie located me at FurryFriends “No-Kill Shelter, they arranged to get me out plus make an appointment to the Doc. At 14 years old and blind, I don’t get to many wild nights out, these guys put the jive right back into my step. Thank you.
