About Lola

Some dogs are born into loving homes, and others, like Lola, must navigate a world of uncertainty. This sweet 1.5-year-old Pittie has faced heartbreak too many times, starting from her initial listing online with the desperate plea: "Free dog. Need to get rid of her." Despite this, Lola radiates love and loyalty, yearning for the stability she has never known. She adores curling up next to you and leans in for as many belly rubs as you’re willing to offer. Always by your side, she seeks comfort in your presence, finding safety in being close. An intelligent and eager learner, Lola is crate trained and house trained. She knows basic commands like sit and paw, and her food motivation makes training an enjoyable experience for her. Calm, consistent leadership will help her thrive as she navigates insecurity. Lola has some challenges, mainly stemming from her past; she struggles with leash walking and can exhibit separation anxiety as well as protective behaviors towards those she bonds with. These traits aren’t signs of a difficult dog, but rather a testament to her struggle with trust. She’s not looking for perfection, just a loving and understanding home that recognizes her journey. Ideally, her new family should be experienced and able to provide guidance and patience. Lola does wonderfully with other dogs and has even tested well with cats, making her a great addition to a multi-pet household. A securely fenced yard, ideally six feet or higher, would be best for this energetic girl. Lola deserves a chance to belong, and she’s ready to give all her love to someone who won’t give up on her. Her adoption fee is $425, and she is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Ready to make a difference in her life? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
