Quiet and thoughtful, Lola bonds strongly with her person and craves gentle routines—she’s the type to curl up with you on the couch hours on end. Above all, she longs for a home that won’t rush her, especially since she can be slow to trust, particularly with men. Once she opens up, though, her affection is deep and genuine. At her foster home, Lola gets along well with other dogs and likes the comfort of a familiar pack. She’s house trained and well on her way with household routines. Her favorite pastime is carrying squeaky toys around—sometimes even while she’s playfully chasing squirrels in the yard.
