About Lulu

Lulu is a 3-year-old Morkie, a Maltese and Yorkie mix with a gentle soul. When she first meets you, Lulu tends to be shy, but once she warms up, her loyalty and affection shine through. She is spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are up to date, so she's ready for her next adventure. Lulu really needs a secure, fenced-in yard because she has a strong tendency to bolt if given an opportunity, and she does not walk on a leash. For her, a home with another dog is a must—she thrives with canine company and feels most settled when she has a dog friend. Small children aren’t the best match for Lulu, as she needs a calm environment. If you can provide that, she’ll reward you with her trust and friendship. Your new best friend is just one click away.
