Meet Louie! This sweet, energetic guy is looking for a loving new home. Louie is about 2 years old and a charming Lab/Terrier mix with a striking brindle and white coat, weighing in at 58 pounds. He’s friendly with everyone, from kids to strangers, and his enthusiasm shines through each time someone walks through the door. Louie gets along well with other dogs, although he hasn't met any cats yet. An eager learner, Louie is smart and food-motivated, showing promise from his early training. He really needs an active family that can match his energy levels. Louie thrives on exercise and mental stimulation—whether it’s a good run, a long hike, or training sessions. With the right guidance, he will be a devoted and affectionate companion. Louie is neutered, current on vaccinations, and on monthly heartworm prevention. His previous family loved him but, due to allergies and work commitments, they could not provide the attention he deserves. If you think you can be the family he needs, please fill out the adoption application ASAP! The adoption fee of $250 covers his neuter, microchip, medical treatments, and vaccinations. Note that we conduct home visits as part of the adoption process, and we cannot adopt to families outside of Chicago and its suburbs. Thank you for understanding!
