About Lulu

Lulu is pure sunshine in a compact, wiggly package. This adorable 4-year-old, 10 lb delight thrives on simple pleasures: waking up, enjoying her meals, and snuggling under the covers with her favorite human. She loves being close, offering warm cuddles and enthusiastic kisses whenever she can. With a sweet nature, Lulu is resilient and has adjusted beautifully since her past. She gets along splendidly with much larger dogs, showing that she's both confident and friendly once she feels secure. Sometimes, she displays a toothy grin when she's unsure, but that’s just her way of saying she’s still figuring things out. Lulu's charm is irresistible as she trots up the stairs like a little caterpillar, determined and endearing. She enjoys her meals (definitely a highlight), is ready for a one-mile hike, and will smother you in affection the moment you pause for a break. In essence, Lulu is an affectionate, food-loving girl eager to share cozy moments with her people. She’s a true heart-stealer, bringing warmth to every day. The adoption fee of $400 covers spay/neuter, a microchip, vaccines, heartworm treatment, and other necessary medical care. Note that we are a foster home-based rescue, and all adoptions include home visits. Unfortunately, we can't adopt out to families outside of the Chicago area. Thank you for understanding!
