About Lulu

Small pittie. Huge heart. No sense of personal boundaries. That’s Tallulah—known to everyone as Lulu. Lulu is a compact pit bull mix, weighing in at just 33 pounds and sitting 16 inches tall, but she brings a big personality to match her size. She sports a heart-shaped patch on her neck and those soulful, irresistible eyes you have to see to believe. She’s a true "magnet dog." If you’re around, she’s likely even closer—curled up with you on the sofa or keeping an eye on you in the kitchen, always wanting to be part of your day. Mornings mean play and breakfast, followed by her favorite hobby: snuggling deep into your leg nook or under a blanket for a nap. Lulu enjoys daily walks (especially with other dogs), responds well to gentle reminders, and then happily unwinds at your side. Expect lots of quirky chatter—she communicates through a symphony of snorts, grunts, and sighs, plus there’s her signature tippy-tap dance when food appears. She’s polite at mealtimes, sitting to wait for your permission before she digs in. Her passions include sci-fi TV, carrying her squeaky rabbit toy, snacking on healthy treats like blueberries, carrots, and green beans, and cleaning out yogurt containers. Get her started and she’ll even join you for a session on the treadmill. Lulu is kennel trained and handles her crate quietly when she’s alone, though she’ll greet you with full enthusiasm when you get back. She gets along with other dogs but likes to be the one in charge, so calm, respectful companions or being your solo pet would suit her well. At six years old, Lulu is spayed, fully vaccinated, and has completed heartworm treatment, so she’s ready for a fresh start. For someone seeking a loyal, affectionate, snack-sharing, sci-fi-watching sidekick, Lulu is more than ready to move in. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
