About Lou

Lou is a 10-year-old Aussie/Hound mix weighing 70 lbs. He is neutered and fully potty trained, making him an excellent housemate. This friendly boy is great with other dogs and does well with gentle children under adult supervision. It's rather sad to see Lou, who was adopted as a puppy, returned due to his family's struggles, but he is handling the change like a champ. Lou has a laid-back demeanor and loves to cuddle with his humans. While he enjoys socializing with other dogs, he gets bored quickly and would rather have his favorite ball by his side. He’s very responsive to training, though he can be a bit strong-willed. A couple of medium walks and a comfy couch for napping keep him happy. Despite being a senior, Lou still has plenty of energy and joy to share. He doesn't show any signs of separation anxiety and adapts well to city life. Lou has been through a lot, but he remains a loving companion, just waiting for a home that understands his needs. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
