About Lola

Lola is all about people. She's been waiting, sometimes with her signature patience, for someone who matches her ability to bond. This striking brindle mix walks beautifully on a leash and meets the world with gentle curiosity. Whether she's exploring the park or hopping into the car for an outing, Lola stays close, always ready for a scratch or a nuzzle—the simple pleasures are her favorites. In her foster home, she's proved it: house trained, crate trained, calm, and never destructive. Redirection is easy with her, and she truly shines as a "Velcro dog" who just wants to be near her chosen person. Toys and treats spark her joy, and she's at her best curled up on the couch next to you. Lola needs a home without cats or small pets due to her high prey drive, and while she can coexist with another dog after a long, careful introduction, she really would thrive as the only dog. She will do best in an adult-only home where she can soak in all the attention and comfort you can offer. Born in February, she's an Aquarius—known for affection, loyalty, and a touch of independent spirit. Lola's ready for her forever home. If you've got plenty of patience and want a steadfast companion, she's waiting for you. Start your journey together! Apply now.
