Lola is an approximately 1-year-old sweetheart who is ready to find a family that will help her feel safe and loved. Like her sister, shelter life has been overwhelming for her, and she can be timid in new situations. With a little time and reassurance, though, her soft and loving personality begins to shine through. Lola is especially shy around men and tends to feel more comfortable with women. She needs slow introductions and a patient approach to build trust. Once she feels secure, she will gently seek out affection and enjoys quiet companionship by your side. A calm, low-traffic home will help Lola continue building her confidence. She would do best with an adopter who understands that trust takes time and who is willing to let her move at her own pace.
