Lou Lou

Female · Adult · 5 years

With the right home, Lou Lou is a loyal, affectionate companion with so much love to give, and it's been a pleasure watching her confidence grow and her playful character emerge. Lou Lou is a beautiful 5-year-old German Shepherd searching for a patient and understanding home where she can settle in at her own pace. She has found kennel life a little overwhelming and can be worried around new people at first. However, once she feels comfortable, her sweet and playful personality quickly begins to shine. Lou Lou is a toy enthusiast, and loves playing fetch and will happily chase a ball for as long as you'll throw it. She enjoys having both mental and physical stimulation and would love a family who can continue building her confidence through fun and positive experiences. Lou Lou is housetrained, has previously been left alone for up to four hours, and will happily jump into the car, although she can be a little restless during journeys. She can be strong on the lead and will need ongoing support with her training. Lou Lou is looking for an adult-only home where she will be the only pet. She will need a secure garden and to wear a muzzle on walks as she can be frustrated when seeing dogs out and about. Lou Lou will also need access to quiet walking areas and secure fields where she can relax and work on her ongoing training.

About Lou Lou

What life with Lou Lou looks like

Lou Lou is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Strong on lead, needs ongoing training. May benefit from gentle refresher training when settling in new home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lou Lou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lou Lou?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Kenilworth handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lou Lou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lou Lou if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Kenilworth will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lou Lou already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lou Lou isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Kenilworth early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lou Lou and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
