Lulu is a beautiful 4-year-old spayed female Golden Retriever in Pittsford, VT. With a large size and a cream coat, she is a tripod who has bravely overcome challenges from an old injury. While she is house trained and current on vaccinations, she requires a patient adopter who will respect her boundaries. Since she is not suited for homes with children, her ideal family would be adult-only. She's friendly with cats and has a loving and loyal personality, ready to form strong bonds with her new family.

About Lulu

Meet Lulu! This stunning cream-colored Golden Retriever is hard to miss, especially with her unique charm as a tripod. At 4 years old, Lulu has faced her share of challenges, overcoming an injury that led to the amputation of her remaining leg. She's been healing well in foster care and is now a happy, active dog, ready to find a loving home that appreciates her for who she is. Lulu forms deep bonds with her people and will need an adopter who can ensure she builds positive relationships with everyone in the household to avoid overly attaching to just one person. One of her favorite pastimes is playing with a tennis ball, whether carrying it around or simply relaxing with it nearby. While she loves companionship and tends to follow her people closely, she settles comfortably when left alone at home. She does come with some quirks, as many dogs with unknown histories do. Lulu can be protective of her space and loved ones, so we believe an adult-only home would be the best fit for her. She has previously lived well with cats and is sociable with dogs, although introductions must be made to ensure a good match. A smart but stubborn girl, she thrives with structure and consistency. Although she may hesitate around doorways and elevated entrances, she offers unwavering loyalty and plenty of tennis-ball fun in return for understanding and patience from her adopter. If you're looking for a devoted companion who has a special kind of love to give, Lulu might just be the perfect fit for your family. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
