Lou Lou's Story

Lou Lou almost didn’t get the chance to grow old.<br/><br/>This sweet senior cattle dog was facing euthanasia when she was rescued with just days to spare. After spending much of her life chained outside, Lou Lou was finally given something she should have had all along — a soft place to sleep, people who loved her, walks around the neighborhood, and the chance to simply be someone’s dog.<br/><br/>And Lou Lou has absolutely loved it.<br/><br/>She is housebroken, wonderful with children, dog friendly, and loves people of all ages. She enjoys her walks, settles beautifully into home life, and has the calmer, easier personality that makes senior dogs so incredibly special.<br/><br/>She is blind in one eye, but you’d hardly know it. It certainly doesn’t interfere with her very important neighborhood-watch responsibilities. Lou Lou takes those seriously — and has been known to send a couch pillow or two flying when something outside requires her immediate supervision.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Lou Lou is once again searching for a home.<br/><br/>After being adopted, she had an incident in which she injured a barn cat. Lou Lou previously lived successfully with cats in a foster home, but because dogs can respond differently to individual animals and environments, we are looking for a cat-free home without other small animals for her going forward.<br/><br/>Outside of that incident, her adopter has had absolutely wonderful things to say about her.<br/><br/>And that is the heartbreaking part.<br/><br/>Lou Lou didn’t suddenly stop being the sweet girl everyone fell in love with. She is still the dog who loves her people. The girl who is wonderful with kids. The senior who enjoys her walks and finally discovered how comfortable couches are. The shelter favorite who had people rooting for her when her time was almost up.<br/><br/>She just needs the right home.<br/><br/>Lou Lou is also heartworm positive, and her treatment is covered.<br/><br/>We saved this girl because we believed the years she had left mattered just as much as the years already behind her. After a lifetime that wasn’t always kind to her, Lou Lou deserves to know that home really can mean forever.<br/><br/>She doesn’t need perfection.<br/><br/>She needs a safe home without cats or small animals, a soft place to land, and someone willing to love an older girl who has already waited far too long for her happily ever after.<br/><br/>Please give Lou Lou the chance to spend the rest of her life knowing she finally belongs.<br/><br/>Apply to Adopt:<br/><br/>https://forms.gle/FurVSgBn3fHqnW93A<br/><br/>Apply to Foster:<br/><br/>https://forms.gle/d9Hewka1ekriDqgu9

Unfortunately, Lou Lou is once again searching for a home.

After being adopted, she had an incident in which she injured a barn cat.
