Louise - Havanese / Mixed (medium coat) Dog For Adoption Louise - Havanese-Unknown Mix Female Dog For Adoption in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA

Dog Breed: Havanese / Mixed (medium coat).

Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Meet Louise! Little Louise may be small, but she has SO much love to give! This incredibly sweet, gentle girl can be a little shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her adorable personality begins to shine. Before you know it, you've gained a little shadow who wants nothing more than to be wherever you are! Louise is a Grade A cuddler who LOVES being held, snuggling on the couch, and curling up right next to her humans (preferably under a blanket!). She's also wonderful with respectful kids, especially those who are gentle and understand that quick movements and loud noises can be a little overwhelming. Her favorite kind of kid? One who wants to scoop her up and cuddle! Louise absolutely adores other dogs! She's currently living with five canine foster siblings of varying personalities and energy levels and loves every single one of them. She takes cues from other dogs and gains confidence by watching them, so a confident canine companion would be incredibly beneficial in her forever home. Dogs closer to her size would likely be the best fit, although larger, lower-energy dogs could also be great companions. She enjoys playing and getting the occasional case of the zoomies, but she's equally happy to settle down for a cozy nap afterward. Louise is still building her confidence and learning how fun being a dog can be! She's extremely food motivated, loves toys, and is doing great with crate training! She is still working on her leash skills and isn't yet comfortable consistently going potty on a leash. She is also quick on her feet, so a securely fenced yard is required to keep her safe while she continues learning. Louise thrives on companionship and can get a little anxious when left alone without another dog or her favorite human nearby. A home with a confident canine companion would be ideal, but she could also do well as an only dog with someone who is home much of the time that loves to play! More than anything, Louise needs a patient, loving family who will continue helping her build confidence and discover how wonderful life can be. In return, you'll get the sweetest, most affectionate little companion who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, with just enough silly energy to keep you laughing. If you're looking for a gentle little shadow, professional cuddle buddy, and loyal best friend who will never let you feel lonely, Louise might just be your girl! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
