Meet Louise!

Meet Louise 🐾
This sweet little Yorkie girl is as gentle as they come. Louise came to us from a hoarding situation and is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She’s shy, timid, and slow to warm up—but once she trusts you, she’s as loyal and tender-hearted as they come.

Louise isn’t fully potty trained yet and currently wears diapers in the house. She’s making progress, but she’ll need a patient adopter who understands that she’s still learning and adjusting.

Louise used to have her sister Thelma by her side, but Thelma found her forever home quickly. Since then, Louise has been bravely navigating the world on her own. Thankfully, her foster home has several friendly dogs, which has been a huge comfort. Because of this, we think Louise would do best in a home with at least one other calm, confident dog to help show her the ropes.

She gets along well with other dogs and finds a lot of comfort in their company. Due to her sensitive nature, she’d do best in a quiet home without young children.

Louise may not be the kind of dog who runs up to greet you right away—but if you give her time, love, and consistency, she’ll show you just how special she is. She’s a little dog with a lot of heart, ready to start her next chapter with someone who sees the beauty in going slow.
