About Ali aka Lou Lou

Ali is a 3-year-old Schnauzer/Terrier mix with a small, 15-pound frame and a big, affectionate heart. Surrendered alongside her sister, Ali quickly charms with her gentle nature and love for closeness—she’ll stick by your side and happily nap at your feet or by your side on the sofa. She lights up during car rides and is content to be your copilot wherever you go. Ali is house trained, sleeps soundly in her crate, and knows the basics, though she’s still working on her zigzag leash walking and could use gentle reminders. Praise and pets keep Ali motivated, and while she’ll play fetch with her ball enthusiastically, she isn’t prone to chewing or mischief around the house. She welcomes dogs she knows, but prefers life as the only dog at home. Loud noises or sudden movement can startle her, and she may need a little time to settle if left alone, sometimes barking or whining softly while waiting for you to return. She lets you know when someone is at the door but generally warms up to new people with a moment’s patience. Ali is easy to train, eager to please, and would thrive with a steady routine.
