Meet Louise. (Rota Animal Welfare League (RAWL))

Stars and Stripes Europe has partnered with Rota Animal Welfare League (RAWL) to let you know about a pet at NAVSTA Rota in Spain that is looking for a new home. Meet Louise.

Hello, my name is Louise.

I am 2 years-old.

I am a spayed, female Rhodesian Ridgeback mix

I have been at RAWL for two months; but I was brought in from an overcrowded shelter after escaping a breeding mill where I used to make puppies.

My favorite things are rolling around outside, or sitting alongside humans. I also like squeaky toys and going on walks, which I’m very strong and still working on my leash manners. I love snacks, as I’m still trying to put on some more weight! I also try to chase bunnies when on adventure walks. I’m working on that though with my trainer. I guess that’s frowned upon. 

I would do best in a home with strong adults with larger dog experience. I also need a home with preferably older children, as I’m working on not jumping still. No cats or small pets either. Other dogs possibly, with slow introductions.
