About Louie

Louie takes shadowing to the next level — he’s the sort of dog who will stick by your side, watch you move from room to room, and insert himself into every moment. Found on the streets of Clinton, Missouri with his siblings, Louie traded life as a stray for a home where he could be someone’s most loyal companion. Since then, he’s mastered a variety of commands, graduated puppy school, and developed a taste for fetch, tug-of-war, and wrestling alongside other dogs and his young human foster sibling. If you want a dog who never turns down a cuddle, Louie delivers: on the couch, at your feet, or wherever he can be closest to his people. He’s crate trained for the workday — soft furniture still tempts him a bit too much. Louie does well with other dogs and children and shines with structure, treats, and plenty of encouragement. He’s food-motivated, sharp, but can sometimes get anxious or vocal when faced with unfamiliar situations; his foster home is working actively on building his confidence outside the house. Physically, Louie is a “solid unit” weighing close to 80 pounds, with a classic tuxedo coat in black and white and a heart-shaped nose. He’s looking for a family that wants him woven into daily life — someone who’ll appreciate his routines, love his quirks, and recognize his potential. All adoptions for Louie are done in person in Omaha, NE, and applicants should know he’s not available for shipping or delivery.
