Meet Lulu, an energetic 5-month-old Australian Shepherd mix currently blossoming in Winsted, Connecticut. Weighing in around 40 pounds, she’s going to grow into a lovely large dog. Lulu is still gaining her confidence; she'll need a gentle, reassuring presence as she navigates the world around her. With a little patience, she'll greet new faces happily after a bit of time to adjust. Being a puppy, she’s picking up the essentials, like potty training, albeit she hasn’t quite mastered asking yet. Lulu is also figuring out leash walks and puts in her best effort! Since she sleeps in a crate, she's learning the value of alone time, which will help curb any potential separation anxiety. This affectionate girl loves cuddling right next to her person, thriving on love and attention. Though she sometimes gets a little jumpy with excitement, she means no harm. Lulu hasn’t met any cats yet, but she does live with small dogs and enjoys their company without chasing them. A playful dog friend around her size would be a perfect match. Lulu is eager to share her love and can't wait to find her forever home! If you think you could be the right fit for this sweet girl, click apply to start the adoption process.
