About Louis

Louis is about 3 to 4 years old, weighing in at 19 to 22 pounds, with all the spunk and personality you'd expect from a terrier mix. Good with other dogs and endlessly playful, Louis is happy-go-lucky and does best in a home with a fenced yard—he always wants to be outside running around or playing. He's got a knack for stealing toys and treats, and his enthusiasm for snacks means kids in the home need to be at least 13; he’s a bit rough when grabbing food. While well-behaved and affectionate, he tries to slip out doors occasionally, so he needs someone who will keep him safe. He’s not the vet’s biggest fan and behaves a bit like the class clown, always with a toy in his mouth or chasing after another’s. There’s a big dog attitude in his small body, and his joy is contagious—especially with an older child to run, tug, and squeak toys with him. Louis isn’t just adorable; he’s flat-out ridiculous and loving every minute. Ready to bring Louis home? Your new best friend is just one click away.
