My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Available to adopt: Lou

Current Location: Outside Chicago, IL

Hello! My name is Dippy Lou! I typically just go by Lou though. “Spirited” is the word often used to describe me. I think it’s a pretty good word! I am 2 years-old and am definitely on the taller side of the boxer spectrum for girls! But I will admit, even though I am a bigger girl, I am still a little scared of meeting new people and men in particular. I will warm up after a bit and then just want you to see me and love me as much as possible. My foster parents say that I am a pretty dominant girl and will need a home that will continue to work on my training and not let me push them around!

I love to run and play with other dogs and would love one or two in my new home. They really should be the same size or bigger than me as I am kind of a bully to smaller dogs. I just don’t understand my size! I also REALLY enjoy chasing cats, so if you are looking for someone to scare off cats, I am your girl! But if you love your cat, I am probably not the girl for you. I would really like a fenced in yard that I can run and play in safely.

I am a good girl in my crate, though I demand what is called the “airline” style crate with the big plastic sides as the wire crates are a piece of cake to break out of. I can stay in my crate for up to 8 hours with no problems! It is encouraged that my new home understands my needs for some good old down time and is on board with letting me hang out in my crate. Trust me, it will be for my sanity, and yours! I love ALL toys. I like being groomed and pampered and I am pretty smart too. I know basic commands and I walk pretty well on a leash. I don’t have any medical concerns, but I am a picky eater. I am a lady after all! I tend to like foods with a fish ingredient more, as fish helps me keep my slender figure!

Ultimately, I am a real sweet girl, I just need some guidance and a nice family who will welcome me and continue teaching me how to be my best girly self! Do you think you might be my perfect match?
