About Lola

Lola is a four-year-old, 10 lb Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a spirited personality and a warm, loyal heart. She thrives on attention and bonds quickly with her favorite people. Lola does well with playful, respectful dogs and is truly great with kids, especially school-aged children. She enjoys outdoor activities, loves walks, and has a particular fondness for chasing balls and sprinting around the yard—she sometimes leaps about like a little deer. A fenced yard is essential for Lola's safety and to let her burn off her abundant energy. She is nearly house trained and is improving rapidly since raising her puppies. Smart, eager to learn, and affectionate, Lola would do well in a home where someone is around a lot to provide playtime, structure, and ongoing training. She can feel anxious when left alone for long stretches but manages well so long as she's not crated (crates make her nervous). Lola doesn't require a canine sibling but would enjoy one that can keep up with her, or she’ll gladly soak up all your attention as a solo dog. She's truly devoted, sticks close to her people, and would fit best with an active family ready for adventures and lots of playtime. Lola is waiting for just the right home with plenty of love, patience, and fun. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
