Adoption Pending! Lou is a youngster who is full of life! We are guessing his age to be around one years old give or take. Lou was picked up as as stray so not much is known about his past. He gets along real well with other dogs and would do well at a dog park or doggy daycare. Lou does need to work on basic manners and obedience skills as it seems no one has taken any time with him. Lou is very food motivated so training should be easy with the right tools. Now that he is in rescue we will begin working on basic manners. Lou would love to have another canine companion to help mentor him to be the best dog ever, and a master who can "teach him the ways" to be the best dog ever. Lou is fully vaccinated and ready to find his happy ever after.
