About Louise

Louise is a young Jack Russell and Pit Bull Terrier mix with a loyal streak and a protective nature. She forms deep bonds with her people and will become a devoted snuggle buddy once she trusts you. Smart and sensitive, Louise thrives when she has structure, plenty of guidance, and a person who understands reactive dogs. She is housebroken, loves toys, and has a passion for outdoor adventures—especially if there's an opportunity to dig. Louise is best suited as the only pet in the home, as she does not get along with cats and prefers to focus all her affection on her person rather than share the spotlight with other dogs. She sometimes warms up to other dogs after very slow introductions, but would be happiest as your solo companion. With new faces, Louise can be cautious at first, but her loyalty knows no bounds once she decides you are hers. If you’re searching for a playful, affectionate, and fiercely loyal friend, Louise is ready to give her heart to the right person. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
