Louie the Lover – Up Close & Personal
I’m mainly recognized for my loving soul and sweet hugs (it’s how I convinced the team to keep me on board!) In my free time, I like to play golf, cuddle with my humans, and sleep majority of the workday because I don’t know how to answer emails.

Growing up as a rescue dog and wandering the streets of the unknown, I made my way to several kill shelters before I successfully found my forever home at Kay Search Group. Although I don’t assist in the job search or hiring process, I sit and look pretty, eat, sleep, play with my teammates and make humans happy!
