My story

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

Looking for a loyal companion with a side of sass? Meet Louisa, our beautiful Catahoula mix! This resilient girl arrived at our shelter as a devoted mom to a litter of puppies and, despite a heartworm-positive diagnosis, she's now fully healthy and ready to find her forever home!

Louisa has a past that's made her a bit cautious, so she's got some trust issues to overcome. But here's the magic: once you've earned your spot in her inner circle, be prepared for an abundance of love, loyalty, and hilarious sass! She'll shower you with affection and isn't afraid to let her playful personality shine. Did we mention her undying love for cheeseburgers? It's the way to her heart!

We've been working closely with a behaviorist to help Louisa thrive, and she's made incredible progress. She's learning to be a pro at walking on a leash and enjoys her structured playtime, which helps her focus and build confidence. To continue her success, Louisa needs a home with structure and patience. She's looking for an adult-only household, as she needs a quiet environment without kids or cats. While she generally prefers to be the queen of her castle, a home with another dog *might* work if it's the absolute perfect match – think a calm, respectful companion who can appreciate her unique personality.

If you're an experienced dog owner ready to provide a loving, consistent environment for a dog who will adore you fiercely once she feels safe, Louisa might just be your perfect match. Come meet this incredible girl and see if you can be the one to unlock all her love and sass!

More about this rescue

A New Leash on Life has a goal of saving all the adoptable pets about to die in the municipal shelters of Alabama until we become a NO KILL state. We rescue, provide veterinary care, provide a foster home or adoption center spot, and find adopters who are good matches for homeless dogs and cats...AND horses, pigs, rabbits, and any other animal who needs our help. All animals are fully vetted, including spay/neuter, microchip, vaccines, testing (HW for dogs, FIV/Felv for cats), and whatever else they need before adoption.
