Louisa is a middle-aged, medium-sized Boxer/Shar-Pei mix who has been patiently waiting in foster care for a year. After raising her puppies and seeing them off to new homes, she’s hoping for her own second chance with a special, dog-experienced family. Louisa is reliably house trained, does great in her crate during work hours, and understands boundaries—she listens and respects well. She generally gets along with most dogs, but can be bossy with certain females, especially older ones, and is good with cats. She needs an adult home that understands her background: Louisa experienced abuse from a man in her past, so she takes time to warm up to men. While she can eventually bond and even become loving with patient men, she can’t be trusted with men she doesn’t know, especially around visitors or on walks. Her ideal home can manage this and respect her boundaries. Louisa is silly, cuddly, and easy to love once she knows you. A fenced yard would be perfect, and she’s happiest visiting a hobby farm where she can roam and relax. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
