About Lulu

Lovely Lulu is waiting for a second chance. She ended up at the shelter as a lost dog and has been overlooked ever since, which has left her nervous and a bit withdrawn in the noisy kennel environment. Despite her nerves, Lulu’s true self peeks through: she’s gentle, well-mannered, and sweet. She takes treats with such care and sits politely hoping for another, showing her desire to connect—she just needs a calm place to feel safe. With kindness and patience, Lulu will likely open up in a quiet, loving home. She’s about a year old, weighs 68 lbs, and is up to date on vaccines. Lulu has tested positive for heartworms, making her need for a consistent, caring home even more urgent. Heartworm is treatable, and the shelter staff will discuss the foster-to-adopt process for her while she gets treatment. Lulu will be spayed and microchipped before going home. Give her a chance, and she’ll reward you with gentle loyalty. Click apply to start the adoption process.
