My name is
Louise (Lou)!

Meet Louise! She's a 55-pound lap dog who'll turn eight (or so) on January 1st. She's freakin' beautiful and hilariously expressive. She is curious and sometimes iffy toward other dogs while on a leash. Off-leash, like at dog parks, she keeps to herself, finding a toy or two and plopping down to tear it to shreds. One-on-one, she's made a best friend of a male husky. She's a middle-aged dog who would benefit from learning some new tricks. She has environmental allergies. Special soaps have helped, but I understand the allergy as similar to human dandruff: you can manage it, but once you have it, you have it. That said, a cone is sometimes necessary if she gets extra itchy. The rash is usually on her belly. I can't post her full story with the limited text space given. Please read her full story in this Reddit post I made. https://www.reddit.com/r/SantaBarbara/comments/1ggtypd/urgent_rehoming_needed_for_eightyearold_female/
