About Lou

Lou is a reserved 3-year-old Pit Bull Terrier who weighs 63 pounds. This gentle boy has a sweet way of connecting; he once finished a game by bringing his ball to a staff member and leaning against them before settling onto their feet to chew. Fetch and treats are great ways to bond with him. He knows commands like “sit,” “sit pretty,” and “down.” Lou requires a patient adopter who respects his need for space. He prefers to approach on his own terms, as unfamiliar people and close encounters can make him anxious. While he is comfortable with other dogs and children, potential owners should consider his handling needs. Since he's struggling to adjust to the shelter environment and has been losing weight, he would thrive in a calm setting with a consistent routine. Monitoring his well-being is essential. All adoptions include support from our dedicated team to help Lou transition smoothly into your home. He will be vaccinated and microchipped, and he is already neutered. Your adventure with Lou could begin soon!
