About Lola

Meet Lola! She's got a quirky mix of sweet and spunky—a small dog with a big personality. Lola can be skittish and wary around new people, especially men, but she’s come a long way in her foster home. Once she settles in and bonds with her person, her playful and cuddly nature really shines through, and she makes an excellent work-from-home companion. Expect loyalty, a silly side, and a devoted lap dog. Lola is a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who’s as smart as she is cute. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and already knows several commands. Outdoor time is fine by her, but she’s not looking to clock miles on walks—short strolls and plenty of cuddle time are more her style. Lola isn’t suited for homes with other animals, children, or lots of visitors. Slow introductions, some patience, and treats work best if you want to be counted among her friends. If you appreciate a lovable dog with a dash of quirk, Lola’s waiting for you in Oakland, NJ. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
