About this Dog
Meet Lewis – A Snuggly Survivor Ready for His Second Chance Lewis has been through more than any dog ever should. Rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation where love and care were in short supply, this gentle soul is now ready to write a new chapter — one filled with peace, snuggles, and the unconditional love he’s always deserved. A 3-4-year-old mix of Sheltie and Great Pyrenees, Lewis weighs 53 pounds and carries a quiet strength that only comes from surviving hard times. In his former life, there was no comfort, no spay/neuter care, and constant tension as unaltered dogs fought over territory and mates. The man who owned them has since passed away (May 2025), and with that chapter closed, Lewis is finally learning what safety feels like. And oh, what a sweetheart he is. Lewis is a true snuggler — his happiest moments are spent curled up beside his foster mom, head resting in her lap, just soaking in the love. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday on the couch or simply shadowing you from room to room, he finds joy just being near his person. He’s calm, gentle, and deeply affectionate once he feels safe. Brushing his thick, gorgeous coat (a soft, fluffy Pyr-like texture) is one of his favorite bonding activities. While he does need regular grooming, Lewis is not a shave-down kind of guy — just a trim and a good brushing with the right comb will keep him looking and feeling great. Lewis is still learning the ropes of leash walking and life outside the yard, but he’s making progress every day. Because of an old, untreated injury as a puppy — a broken foot that healed on its own — he walks with a slight limp, but it doesn’t slow him down or require medical intervention. His ideal home? Quiet. Patient. Understanding. A family that will let him bloom at his own pace. He’s great with other respectful dogs and is fine with cats, too — he just doesn’t do well with pushy or dominant animals. What he needs most is kindness, consistency, and someone who sees the beautiful, resilient heart inside him. Lewis doesn’t need long walks or high-energy adventures — a calm yard to relax in and a loving human to call his own is all he’s hoping for. If you believe in second chances, if you have room in your heart for a dog who just wants to love and be loved, Lewis is waiting for you. Come meet your new best friend. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Adopt LEWIS and Receive LEWIS's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, LEWIS's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is LEWIS's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the LEWIS, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming LEWIS's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and LEWIS was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, LEWIS’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the LEWIS’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, LEWIS’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
