About Lola

Meet Lola—fetch enthusiast, squeaky-toy collector, and aspiring lap dog! At just 11 months old and weighing in at 45 pounds, Lola is bursting with puppy energy and a longing for affection. She loves games of fetch, tug-of-war, car rides, and snuggling up with her favorite humans. And personal space? That’s overrated; she'd much rather share yours! Lola needs a family dedicated to her daily exercise and engagement through play and positive-reinforcement training. A home with older children might suit her best. Her previous families have reported that she's house-trained, adjusts well to her crate, and knows commands like sit, lay down, and stay. While she can be shy around new people and dogs, she warms up quickly when introductions happen at her pace. She's had success living with another dog but typically connects quicker with females than males. Interestingly, she has done well with cats, too. As a young dog still learning, Lola will benefit from patient guidance, especially with mouthing behaviors and household manners. You'll need to establish a routine that includes regular potty breaks and companionship. In return, you'll enjoy the love of an affectionate girl described as a loyal lap dog by her former family. If you have a good throwing arm and room for a cuddle buddy, reach out to our team to meet Lola!
