Louie is a 2-year-old, large mixed-breed pitbull with striking gray-blue coloring and the kind of eyes that sneak right into your heart. Early on, life dealt him a tough hand, but day by day, he’s finding his feet again. He’s been getting professional help with behavior and socialization, though he’ll always prefer a calm routine over chaos. At daycare, busy noises and barking got overwhelming, so he moved to the quieter rescue side—much more his style. The real Louie? Sweet, sensitive, and a giant softy who prefers couches over fetch and would rather 'sploot' and nap than chase a ball. With new people, patience pays off; Louie needs time to trust, and unexpected head pats can set him back, but once he knows you, he’s loyal and affectionate—sometimes forgetting his size as he tries to crawl into your lap. He’s leash trained, treats car rides as an adventure, and responds well to basic commands, especially when treats are on the table. Louie will need continued patience and positive reinforcement but gives the best cuddles once he lets down his guard. He’s looking for a quiet home with a 6-foot fence, ideally with a woman or someone with pitbull experience, and he must be the only animal for now due to some tiffs with other strong-willed pups. Apartment or condo life isn’t for him, but he does well in his kennel—and one’s included. He’s ready for meet-and-greets with someone who wants to help him shine. Born October 18, Louie is a Libra, which might explain his need for calm and harmony. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
