Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Newark, New Jersey

We love Louie - and you will too!

Louie was rescued as a lost dog alongside his lookalike buddy we're calling Elijah, and this handsome hunk is already making a great impression. At about 5 years old and a healthy 80 lbs, Louie is a big, beautiful boy who's new to the shelter, so we're still getting to know all the wonderful things about him.

What we do know so far? Louie is incredibly sweet with our staff and volunteers and seriously handsome to boot. Since he was found with another dog, we think he may have potential to do well with a canine companion too. If you're looking for a gentle giant with movie-star looks and a soft side, Louie may be your guy.
