My name is Lou!

When Lou's current guardians first met their beloved rescue pup, she was anxious and terrified, especially around other dogs due to her special needs. Lou's rear paws were amputated as a puppy, under unknown circumstances. Over the past year, with a lot of love and care, Lou has transformed into a happy, relaxed, confident, and deeply loving companion. She is alert, playful, sweet, eager to please, and a quick learner!
Lou is a ~2.5-year-old German Shepherd who weighs 60 lbs. She is up to date on all her shots, fully house trained, spayed, and crate trained. She walks short distances independently and is speedier and more athletically coordinated than you might expect! Lou goes to the bathroom like any ordinary dog, with no assistance required. She needs a bit of rear-end support to climb stairs and is intrepidly learning to cruise in her wheels.
Unfortunately, Lou has never become comfortable with the large resident dog, and her guardians cannot give either one the attention they deserve. Lou would love to be the only dog in her forever home but could do well with small dogs with a slow introductory period.
To help ease the transition into Lou’s forever home, her current guardians will provide a one-month food supply, her favorite toys (new), a crate, two sets of clean bedding, an onboarding session with a dog behaviorist, wheels and accessories, and an introduction to Silverado Veterinary Hospital where Lou is a registered patient.
