About Me

Hi. My name is Louie and I am a young, playful boxer pup in search of my new home. I enjoy chasing balls and toys and will bring them back if you throw them, although I might not drop them right away. I love playing tug, too. (I usually win because I’m very strong.) I have a thing about rocks and branches – they just appeal to me and I like to carry them around. I also like to jump and I’m very good at it! Just watch my video!

I love getting attention from my people most of the time, but can sometimes get nervous with too much attention. I need someone who can read my body language and recognize when I need to be left alone so I don’t get more stressed out. 

I’m good at letting my people know when I have to go outside. I’m working on my outside manners, like walking nicely on leash. There’s just so much interesting stuff out there! I love going for car rides, and sticking my head out the window. I sometimes have a hard time controlling my enthusiasm, so my foster mom is teaching me the Wait command. 

The hardest thing is waiting for my forever family!

Please check the adoption-show-attendees page to see if Louie will be attending the next adoption show.

NOTE: We are an all volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of our animals are in foster homes. If you are not local to the DMV area, but are interested in one of our adoptable pets, that's okay. If you're approved to adopt, we can work out the geography!
