Lola

About Lola

Little Crossbreed Lola has come into our care after her owner was sadly taken ill and could no longer care for her. Lola had been signed over to a local authority, therefore we have not got any information on what her previous life was like.

Lola may be 11 years old but she acts like a 5 year old! She has a real spring in her step and loves going for a walk. She has been friendly with everyone that she meets and is a very loving girl who enjoys sitting on your lap.

We have found that Lola isn’t always keen on being handled. Whilst she enjoys affection, when it comes to seeing the vet she can be snappy. She is also not a fan of her nails being clipped or being groomed in certain areas. On arrival she had some knots behind her ears that she wouldn’t allow anyone to touch. We had to take our time with Lola as she does not like a muzzle being put on, but she did eventually let us cut them out, with the help of some cheese!

Out and about Lola is a joy to walk! She can be picky on which dogs she likes, some she will ignore but others she may have a bark at. Lola would be best suited to a new home where she is the only pet, her new owners may need to gently expose her to different dogs, as perhaps socialising is something she has not been used to.

Lola does her best to keep her kennel clean and settles well. At 11 years, Lola deserves to be in a loving home, kennels is no place for her. We are seeking an adult only home for Lola with patient adopters who will take the time to get to know Lola’s personality and her quirks. We don’t know whether she has had a bad experience previously with handling which is why she can be defensive, but Foal will guide adopters on how to help Lola feel more confident being handled. She just needs a family who have patience and will take the time to build trust and not push her, as she really is a sweet girl who will be a loving companion.
