Lewy is remarkably cute, 🥰 with his upturned nose, & slender build! It’s like he will forever look like a puppy! He prances so sweetly & makes us smile when we see just how lanky his legs are!
Lewy came to us because he & his owner were in the process of moving to Southeastern MA, when his owner fell ill & ended up in the hospital with a terminal illness & had to surrender him to Animal Control. With no family to take Lewy in, Animal Control reached out to area shelters for assistance, and Lighthouse Animal Shelter agreed to take him.
At 6 1/2 yrs. old and having lived in the same home since puppyhood, Lewy is understandably anxious and confused with all the changes in close succession, especially losing his person-the only link to the life he had before their move.
Here’s a bit about Lewy from his current foster home:
“He is doing fantastic. He has everything he needs here, and I even went and got him his own bed.”
Lewy gets along with his foster doggy siblings great, as well! He’s even a bit of a local celebrity on his neighborhood walks!
He did have some potty accidents inside, and chewed some things up while his foster parents weren’t home, so Lewy’s foster dad created a separate, comfortable kennel area for him to start helping him potty train, and adjust to a home setting.
We can’t wait to see Lewy go to a forever home who is looking for a pupper who will bring them lots of joy! We know he has some more work to do on potty training and being home alone, but we will be there with his future adopter to help along the way to provide guidance and support!

More about this rescue
At Lighthouse Animal Shelter, an all volunteer, 501(c)3 organization, we promote the welfare of animals at risk of euthanasia. We also work with the community to maximize efforts in reducing pet overpopulation.
We rescue the majority of our dogs from high-intake shelters down south (the majority being from Kentucky, South Carolina & North Carolina) and get organize transport to our New Bedford shelter for adoption. We focus on last-call death row dogs.
The cats in our care are all local strays or surrenders and are generally adults to seniors.
