Meet Our New Foster: Levi

 We were hoping to try fostering again before the summer ended, but between our Goofus and Gallant it's sometimes hard to find the right fit. Then we met Levi. Levi lived as a stray on the mean streets of Chicago, which for many dogs would have made them tough and hardened. Though for Levi, it seems to have had the opposite effect; Despite a guesstimate of 3-4 years, he still seems adorablely puppy.
Sure he may have picked up some strange sleeping habits from his past life:
But he is adorably gangly and smooshy, seeming to have no understanding of his own body. Or maybe he just dreams of being a flying superhero?
 In his short stay here, he has become quite a Mr. B mini-me:
 But is a much more manageable size for walking:
But Mr. B isn't so sure he's ready to step away from his pink toys yet:
As we learn more, we'll have more updates about Levi on our Facebook page, and he is available through Miss M's rescue group New Leash on Life.  If you would like to meet this super-hero in real life, he will be making an appearance at Saturday's adoption event at Whole Foods, and he will also be participating in this Sunday's dog-walking club. He already has quite the packed social calendar!

  2. Yay, how exciting! I look forward to hearing all about him. We're keeping our fingers crossed that you plan a Walking Club route a bit closer to home soon so that Bilbo and I can come and join in (either that, or we'll just have to wait a month or two until I get my driving license!)

  5. Levi is a real looker! And it seems like Mr. B is handling his arrival very nicely. Can the same be said for Ms. M? Can't wait to read lots of tales of this very luck boy........isn't fostering just the best! I've been doing it for a couple of years and wouldn't trade it for anything.

  12. OMG he is adorable!!!! If I hadn't just adopted Nala I probably would have adopted him - Nala does the super(wo)man thing too, must be a Chicago streetdog thing!

  30. Oh my goodness, Levi is ADORABLE. I love his floppy-body!! :) How do you foster? I am so very grateful for fosters - I work with an organization that does fostering and adopting of children, and of course am passionate about dog foster care. But I just can't do it myself, I have to support those who can. I have volunteered to foster twice - the first was Lucky, and the second was Lady. You see how that worked out - LOL!

  31. my eyes are burning from teh cute!!

    I never cease to be impressed by you guys, fostering in an apartment where you already have two dogs!

    I would really like to foster but I can't do that unless I have enough time to make sure all the parties get along. :P

  32. Who could not love him, what a cutie!

  33. He does look like a puppy! What an adorable little pocket pittie. I hope he is settling in well so far. I'm sure it's stressful to bring a new dog home at first, so good luck these first few days. Mr. B will be an excellent role model!

    ReplyDelete
  34. A mini-B!!! He sure has personality- what a lucky guy to end up with you! I hope he makes a great first impression on your group walk!

  39. So pleased to have come across your blog (via Facebook) - Levi is just gorgeous, as are your own two dogs. I just love pitties, but it's greyhounds I have a house full of here in the UK! We are fostering too - there's never a dull moment ;-)

  40. Levi is a cutie. How will you ever be able to let him go?

    I adore the picture of Mr. B with his toys.
