About Louise

Meet Louise, a joyful and sociable 7-month-old female Doberman and German Shepherd mix. She currently weighs about 44 pounds and is expected to grow to around 55 pounds. Louise arrived with her sister as a stray, incredibly sweet and eager for a fresh start after surviving on feed corn and grass. Her temperament is outstanding—she’s fearless and adaptable. At the shelter, she thrives on human interaction, proving to be relaxed around other dogs, which suggests she could thrive with a male companion, though introductions are essential. As for cats, we don’t yet know how she feels about them, but we’re open to testing that if needed. She’d likely do best with older kids, around 8 and up, who can handle her playful nature. Louise is learning leash manners and seems to ride well in the car. She’s ready for training classes to channel her intelligence and energy into becoming the best companion possible.
