About Lola

Click apply to start the adoption process. Get to know Lola! This lovely husky mix was surrendered in La Paz, Mexico in 2024 and, since then, she's been soaking up the sun and waiting for her perfect family at the shelter. Estimated to be born in 2022, Lola is a medium-sized gal at around 45 pounds, bursting with love and ready for all the cuddles she can offer. If you’re looking for a furry friend who’ll thrive in an active, affectionate home, Lola might be your perfect match! Lola shines when she’s around other dogs of any size and enjoys playful days by the pool or stretched out in a sunny spot. She gets excited for her weekly walks with volunteers and adores the attention from gentle children at the shelter. Her energy is ideal for both fun outdoor adventures—imagine her splashing in lakes and streams in the PNW—and cozy couch time with her people. Lola prefers a home without cats but would be thrilled to have other pups or children as companions. She is both crate and house trained; however, as with any new arrival, expect a few transitional accidents as she settles in. Her playful, loving nature makes her an ideal fit for almost any home, and she is eager to be discovered by her forever family. Saving Baja Paws offers a foster-to-adopt option, allowing families to ensure the perfect fit before finalizing adoption. Lola is currently in La Paz but is ready to embark on her new journey to the PNW once approved—she can arrive within 15 days for an eager, loving home. The $375 adoption fee helps cover Lola’s veterinary care, transport, and preparations for her new life in Oregon, Washington, or California. All Saving Baja Paws dogs, including Lola, come spayed or neutered, up to date on annual vaccinations, microchipped, tested for heartworm, and thoroughly screened for other health concerns before their journey to the USA. If you're seeking a dedicated, playful, and loving companion, Lola is waiting for you in the sunshine—will you be the one to give her a forever home? Lola is a Gemini, so you can expect a playful and adaptable spirit, always ready to bring some fun and curiosity into your days! They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
