Louie is a friendly 8-year-old yellow Labrador retriever that needs a special and understanding adopter. He was previously adopted shortly after he came to NAWS in 2017. He was recently relinquished back to NAWS after nipping at a toddler in his previous home when they touched his back end. He has arthritis and takes medication for his condition. Due to his past, Louie needs a home with older children who understand his boundaries. He enjoys leisurely walks, lying on his bed and belly rubs. To meet Louie, email Dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.
