About Louie

Meet Louie, a captivating young miniature Australian Shepherd who came to us as an owner surrender. His previous owners could no longer provide enough space for this spirited, energetic dog, so he’s ready for a new adventure in a suitable home. At about 16 months old, Louie weighs around 33 pounds and sports a stunning long coat with tricolor markings. While Louie is crate trained and housebroken, he’s still learning proper leash manners. His playful nature means he might need some guidance during walks, as he enjoys tugging on the leash. He recently got into a foster home where he’s already starting to bond and play with another dog. Louie is sweet and intelligent, which are common traits of his breed. He will thrive in an environment that offers both physical exercise and mental stimulation. However, potential adopters should be aware that he might be reactive over food dishes. This isn’t an issue with toys or treats, but definitely something to monitor while he adjusts. This happy boy is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. If you're considering adding Louie to your family, be prepared for regular grooming and a commitment to training. His adoption includes a goody bag and all necessary paperwork. Adptions are typically in Stanwood, WA, and the adoption fee is $475. This could be the start of something paw-some.
