About Bubba Louie

Meet Bubba Louie, or just "Louie" if you prefer things simple. Louie is a 4-year-old Australian Kelpie mix originally from West Virginia. He came in with a limp front leg, but after specialists checked him, they found no fractures—just some likely nerve damage that isn't causing him any pain. Louie handles life like any other dog: he runs, jumps, and doesn't let his leg slow him down. Louie prefers to be the only dog in the house and isn’t one for dog parks or crowded canine hangouts, though he gets along just fine with cats. He'd do best in a calm home with children over 10 years old. Walks are manageable, but he can react to other dogs, so quiet neighborhoods are a win. You’ll find him obedient, smart, playful, and house trained. All Louie really wants is a peaceful spot to rest and a human who appreciates a tidy, clever companion. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
