Meet Lou - A Gentle Soul in Need of Love

Lou is a sweet but timid Maremma who hasn't had the easiest start in life. This slightly older boy is currently quite frightened in the shelter, unsure of the world around him, and in need of a quiet, understanding home where he can finally feel safe.

Despite his nervous nature, Lou has a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. He enjoys the simple things-finding a cozy spot in the bushes to snooze during the day and curling up inside at night. He doesn't need much, just a patient and compassionate person who will give him the time and space to come out of his shell at his own pace.

Lou would thrive in a calm, low-traffic home with someone who understands that trust takes time. If you're looking for a gentle companion to grow old with, Lou is waiting for his perfect person to show him the kindness and security he's always deserved.

The Adoption Process

Cats - If you wish to adopt a cat you are welcome to visit both our Wingfield and Edinburgh North locations between 10am and 3pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

Dogs - If you wish to adopt a dog, you are welcome to visit our Wingfield location between 10am and 3pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Dog adoptions from Edinburgh North are by application only. Please fill out the application form on the dog's profile and wait for our staff to contact you.

Please note: if the animal you wish to adopt is listed as 'application only', please fill out the form on their profile and wait for our team to be in touch.

Once you have met an animal you would like to adopt, you can take them home the same day as all AWL animals are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and health checked ready for their new home (yes, even the kittens and puppies!)
