A volunteer writes: I don’t even have to conduct a survey to tell you that everyone that meets Louisse loves her in a head over heels way! First of all, what a face! And second of all, what a SWEETheart! She is very friendly, easy to walk on leash, and even likes to hold hands when she oh-so-gently jumps up for attention. She might not have as many teeth as she used to, but she looves food (especially treats that are older lady friendly – small and soft!) and eagerly sits in hopes of scoring a snack. She seems housebroken, couldn’t be cuter when she’s curled up for a nap, leans in for cuddles, and is just delightful company! She was found alone at the entrance of JFK airport. Whether she missed her flight and misplaced her luggage, or just lost her person, she’s ready to make a connection with you!! Please come meet this incredibly sweet, endearing and resilient little lady at Brooklyn ACC!

INTAKE BEHAVIOR

Upon intake Louisse was quietly and friendly, she allowed all handling.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

During her medical examination, Louisse was attention seeking and allowed all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:

We have no history on Louisse so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
