About Lou

Lou is a reserved 3-year-old Pit Bull Terrier who weighs around 63 pounds. He once enjoyed a game of fetch by bringing his ball to a staff member and settling beside them to chew. For Lou, building trust takes time, and he thrives in a low-pressure environment where he can choose to engage on his own terms. He responds well to activities like fetch and treats, and knows commands such as “sit,” “sit pretty,” and “down.” While he has experience with dogs and children, Lou requires a patient adopter who understands his need for personal space, especially around unfamiliar people. His comfort zones need to be respected, and shared activities can help ease him into social interactions. Due to shelter stress, he's been losing weight recently and needs a calm environment, consistent routine, and monitoring of his health. All adoptions come with support from our team to help Lou settle into his new home smoothly. He has been altered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready for his new life. Your journey with Lou could be the start of something special. Click apply to start the adoption process.
