About Louka

Louka is a striking 2-year-old Pit Mix, tipping the scales at over 55 pounds, and on the lookout for a loving forever family. His journey began as he wandered local baseball fields, scavenging for food until animal control intervened. They anticipated encountering a frightened dog, but were surprised to find a friendly, well-trained boy who clearly had prior training. Though no one came searching for him, it was evident Louka had once belonged to someone who cared. During his stay at the shelter, Louka bonded well with other dogs and showed a knack for socializing. He also shines in the presence of children, having attended several school events. With a playful spirit, he thrives in a dynamic environment that offers regular exercise and mental engagement. Currently enrolled in the Paws in Prison Program, Louka is polishing his obedience skills and manners with daily training and socialization, aimed at making him the ideal companion. As he prepares for life with his future family, Louka demonstrates eagerness to learn and a strong desire to please. He’s fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, ready to focus on building a future filled with love and companionship. Could Louka be the perfect addition to your family? His adoption fee is $300. There's a transition period as he adjusts to a new home, so ideally, he should live primarily indoors, surrounded by loved ones. The adoptive family will receive his training journal detailing his progress.
