About Louis

Louis is a 6-year-old Belgian Malinois looking for a loving forever home. Following his parents' divorce, he faces the possibility of being put down if the right match isn't found. Louis needs a patient adopter who understands his background; he has endured neglect and abuse in the past, but with trust, he reveals a loyal and affectionate nature. This playful pup enjoys the company of humans and can live with other dogs, though he plays rough, so a sibling should be confident and tolerant. Louis will need a home without children, as they may startle him. His ideal family would respect his space and be aware of his sensitivity to sounds like thunder and sudden movements. Louis is fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped. Currently in Houston, TX, he may travel to the right home. His previous trainer has provided guidance, but his new home should have prior experience with his breed. If you’re a strong personality, ready to bring Louis into your life, don’t hesitate to reach out. He’s waiting for someone to help him thrive. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
