You know those dogs that have one feature that's so adorable you can't help but laugh every time you look at them? For Lou Loomie, it's definitely the ears. They're hilariously oversized, somehow seem bigger than the rest of him, and give him the cutest, goofiest expression. But as funny as they are, they have some pretty serious competition because the moment you start petting this sweet boy, he completely melts into you. Between his giant ears, affectionate personality, and easygoing nature, Lou is the kind of dog that's incredibly easy to fall in love with.
Lou Loomie is believed to be a Lab/Aussie mix approximately 5 months old and currently weighs about 30lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Ideal Home
Lou would do best in a home with a backyard where he can stretch his legs and explore. A semi-active family that enjoys getting out and about but also appreciates a relaxing evening at home would be a wonderful match for him. He's also dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. If he's joining a home with canine siblings, he'll do best with confident adult dogs that are already established in the home. Dogs that are comfortable setting appropriate boundaries while still showing him the ropes will help him continue growing. He'd also do just fine soaking up all the attention as an only dog. Lou would do best with experienced dog owners who understand the importance of consistency and boundaries.
Ongoing Health
No specific health concerns were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Lou is doing really well with potty training and is successful about 85% of the time. He benefits from getting outside a little more frequently than an adult dog and thrives with a consistent schedule. Treats are his motivation and make him eager to learn. Lou is also crate trained and, while he may protest for a few minutes when you first leave, he settles down nicely. Continuing crate training will be important for him as he thrives with structure, routine, and clear expectations.
