About Lou

Lou is a sweet, timid girl who was found as a stray, hiding and hoping for safety from the chaos of the shelter. She’s slowly discovering her love for the world around her, thanks in part to the dedicated staff and foster family who believe in her. Now in her loving foster home, she is learning to trust, especially with the help of her friendly dog buddy, Marnie. Lou is heartworm negative and has already started her journey toward healing and happiness. She is house trained and gets along well with dogs. Lou needs a calm and nurturing environment to continue her progress; she's currently available for adoption in the New Hanover or Brunswick County area due to her ongoing heartworm treatment.
