About Lola

Lola is a striking black lab mix who recently landed at the shelter when her previous owner was no longer able to care for her. At seven and a half years old, she brings the calm and maturity you’d expect, weighing in a bit over 60 pounds. Lola has experience living with another lab, but she’s been apprehensive about meeting new dogs in the shelter environment; a mellow, low-energy canine companion would be ideal if another dog is in the mix. She prefers peaceful surroundings and would thrive in a quiet household with minimal foot traffic. Lola is looking for a home without children, where she can enjoy her days in comfort and quiet.
