Stray Pregnant Dog Was Found Just In Time—Now Her Puppies Are Adopted & Loulou Needs a Home

Loulou is a two-year-old Australian Cattle Dog x Australian Shepherd mix who was found as a stray in Texas. Loulou was found hiding under a porch but rescuers had no idea they weren’t just rescuing one dog. Loulou was pregnant, and they rescued her just in time for her to give birth somewhere where she and her puppies would be safe. Suppose Loulou hadn’t been found when she was, who knows what could have happened to her and her puppies? Giving birth outside and alone comes with lots of risks—if something had gone wrong, no one would have been able to help, and it’s uncertain whether Loulou or her puppies would have survived.

Thankfully, sweet Loulou had the help of rescuers and a foster family to deliver and raise her puppies. She was an excellent mama, but it eventually came time for Loulou’s puppies to go to their forever homes, and one by one they were adopted. Now that she has finished her very important job raising her puppies and has been spayed, Loulou needs a family. 

Loulou is currently in a foster home with Ruff Start Rescue in Princeton, Minnesota, and is described as “a gentle, laid-back young girl who craves affection and loves nothing more than snuggling up with her humans.” If you live in the Princeton, MN area and want an affectionate, reserved dog like Loulou, keep reading to learn more about this adoptable mama dog.

Still young, Loulou is just over 2 years old and is a large Australian Cattle Dog x Australian Shepherd mix. Loulou is moderately active and gets along well with other dogs. A little bit shy and nervous, Loulou likes to have company to help boost her confidence and would love a home with other dogs and/or kids to make her feel comfortable. 

Although she really likes other dogs and humans, Loulou can get a little overwhelmed when there is too much energy and activity and sometimes needs a little break in her kennel. Loulou is also afraid of thunderstorms and gets carsick during car rides, but with some patience, she is learning to come out of her shell. 

A major cuddle bug, Loulou is a sweet, gentle soul looking for a home that will allow her to open up at her own pace. Intelligent and a quick learner, Loulou is house-trained, has mastered her basic commands, and loves learning new tricks or going on walks. If you live in Minnesota and need a companion who just wants to show you lots of love and affection, you can apply to adopt Loulou online with Ruff Start Rescue.
