This happy, social, lovely girl is Louise! Louise is a 7-month-old female Doberman/German Shepherd mix with who knows what else! She likely has some farm or herding dog in her, and maybe even a dash of hound. Louise currently weighs about 44 pounds, and we expect her to mature to around 55 pounds. Louise and her sister were brought to us as strays. They were very hungry, very skinny, and VERY sweet! From the get-go, it was hard to overlook their amazing temperaments. Louise showed no fear, no hesitation, and no nervousness. She simply seemed to understand that we knew what would be best, and after apparently being on her own with only feed corn and grass to eat, she was ready for a new life. Louise has been a fantastic girl during her stay with us. She just wants attention and time from all the humans more than anything else. She has not been reactive with other dogs, and she would probably be fine living with a canine companion. A boyfriend would be ideal, considering her breed mix, but a complimentary female may also work – a meet and greet would absolutely be required before any placement. Cats are currently a big unknown. We think there might be some chasing involved, but we are willing to test her reaction to a cat upon request. She would likely be fine with respectful children who know how to act around dogs, but might be a little too bouncy and puppy-like at this point for the very young – kids 8 and up are definitely preferred.
