About Lou

Lou is a thoughtful 3-year-old Pit Bull Terrier who weighs 63 pounds. He has a reserved nature but shows affection by leaning against his human companions. One of his favorite activities is fetch, and he knows several commands like "sit," "sit pretty," and "down." Lou needs a patient adopter who understands his boundaries; he prefers to approach people at his own pace and may feel uneasy with close contact from unfamiliar faces. Although he has experience with dogs and children, it's important to choose a home that respects his comfort levels. His compatibility with cats is not known, so careful consideration is needed there. Due to some shelter stress, Lou has been struggling to settle and has even lost some weight, highlighting the need for a calm and consistent environment to help him thrive. He would do best in a setting where he can receive the monitoring and support necessary for his well-being. All adoptions come with guidance from our team to help with a smooth transition to your home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
