Pet of the Week: Louie the Dachshund mix | Pets

This week's Pet of the Week is Louie -- a 1-year-old male Dachshund mix.

Community Animal Rescue & Adoption says Louie has a sweet temperment and gets along well with children.

CARA says Louie is in its care because his family no longer had time for him. Now Louie needs a new home.

CARA is a no-kill animal rescue in Jackson. If you are interested in adopting Louie or another pet at CARA, complete the online application form.

CARA is in immediate need of dry dog food, canned cat food and clay cat litter. If you can donate any items, please take them to the shelter, located at 960 N. Flag Chapel Road, or to a drop off location:
