About LuLu

LuLu is a sweet girl who takes her time to settle into new surroundings. Once she feels comfortable, her charming personality shines through. In her foster home, she goes into her kennel well, but she’s still learning commands for crating. She appears to be paper trained and does great with house training when pee pads are provided. Keep in mind that like many adopted animals, she may experience an adjustment period, which can lead to some accidents. LuLu loves to spend time outdoors, especially following her human friends around. She’s getting used to grooming sessions and doesn’t mind a bit of pampering. In her current foster home, LuLu has shown she can get along well with dogs, making her a great candidate for a home with doggy companions. She has also done nicely with children of all ages after she’s had a little time to acclimate before meeting the entire family and their friends. Ready to make LuLu a part of your family?
