About Lulu

Lulu is a sweet mixed Boxer/Pointer with a striking appearance—she has heterochromia, with one brown eye and one blue, and a super soft white and black spotted coat. She tends to be timid when meeting new people, which is understandable after her tough start; she was found as a stray with a microchip but no one came to claim her. Once Lulu feels safe, she opens up into a loving, goofy companion. She's shown a playful side with her foster brother, a dog twice her size, and really enjoys curling up on the couch for a quiet moment. Lulu’s been working on regaining her confidence and putting on much-needed weight since her time on the streets. Her gentle spirit and desire for love make her a great fit for a family ready to offer patience and care. Lulu is house trained and gets along with both other dogs and children, making her a flexible choice for many households. She’s simply looking for someone who will help her keep building trust and enjoy the good life. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
