o play, snuggle, and win you over with her charm. Tug-of-war is her game of choice, and when fetch gets going, so do the zoomies. She’s also got that classic puppy move where she flops into your lap like she belongs there. She and her sister Thelma were found dumped at a truck yard. We don’t know anything about their life before that, but since coming into foster care, Louise has shown she’s smart, social, and full of love. She's great with people and other dogs, and she’s picking things up quickly. That said, she’s still a puppy, so she’ll need someone ready to help her with the basics: potty training, commands, and learning not to chew what’s not hers. She has a lot of playful energy, so she’ll need a home where someone’s around to engage with her. She does bark when she's excited (especially at mealtimes or while playing), and she whines a bit when left alone, but settles after a few minutes. She’d do well in a home with another playful dog, as long as they’re okay with puppy energy and someone constantly in their face. If there are kids in the mix, older is better—she's got some bounce to her and might be a little much for toddlers. Louise is a lover through and through, just looking for someone to keep up with her fun, goofy, affectionate self. Louise is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
