Meet Lola, a precious little Maltese who is not just a dog; she’s a treasure waiting to be discovered! At 8 years old and a mere 6 pounds, this lovely lady has been a retired breeder mama, and she is finally savoring her first taste of true canine joy. With her gentle presence, Lola has the unique ability to quietly melt hearts—she’s like a little fluffy hug just waiting to happen! 🥰 While she’s still a bit shy around humans, she shines when playing with other small dogs! 🐶💕 Lola is learning each day that the world can be kind and safe, which is such a beautiful journey to witness. With a calm environment and a routine, Lola is thriving, and she’s so close to fully embracing her new life! Isn’t that just heartwarming? One thing to know about this darling is that dinner time is her favorite time—don’t let that shy demeanor fool you! When it's time to eat, Lola confidently stomps right up to you and gives the cutest little bark to ensure you don’t forget.🐾 That’s a whole lot of sass under that soft exterior! Lola needs a special home, a quiet haven where she can truly blossom. Ideally, it would be with another small dog to help instill confidence and understanding from patient humans who appreciate her journey. If you’re fortunate enough to become her human, prepare for a gentle companion who’s just beginning to realize how beautiful it is to be cherished. ❤️ This sweet girl isn’t quite a lap dog—though she loves to be held, she’s still learning what that comfort means. With the dental care she received, she’s now down to just two teeth, but worry not! Lola enjoys her canned food sprinkled with a bit of kibble and a dash of warm water. 🌊 However, she doesn't walk on a leash yet, so a fenced yard ensures her safety while she enjoys the great outdoors. This beauty has been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, and microchipped. So, if Lola’s sweet spirit has caught your eye, don’t hesitate! Apply through the Buddy App to adopt this adorable companion and watch her flourish in your loving arms! 🌈💕 **Furry Kids' Refuge** will provide the best care for these wonderful animals, but the focus here is on Lola's journey to find her forever home. Remember, to adopt her, you must apply through the Buddy App!
