Description:
IN VERMONT Meet Lola! https://youtu.be/9pFHhW_Nej0 Lola is 17 months old, female (approx. DOB 12-22-22), 36 lbs., vetted, is or will be spayed, and micro-chipped. In her current host home (rural, 2 cats, one human): • I am good with some dogs and not good with others; some don’t like me. I haven't had a lot of practice with proper introductions and the most experience I've had was when I was homeless which other dogs can be scary! I’d likely be happiest being the center of attention and not being judged. • I like to chase cats because I have a prey drive to chase; my human said she would keep me if I was good with the cats or if she didn't have any • I have not been around small kids but I think I’d thrive with a 10+ year old that could play and run and be my best friend. • I have medium+ energy and love people of all genders. • I am really good at going in my crate when I have an incentive! (treat anyone?) • I will whine a little to let my humans know I’m not happy about it at first but I settle down. • I am potty trained! I’ll let you know by pacing back and forth and staring at you………….since I can’t talk! • I am expressive with my mouth and like to catch things; I’d do great being redirected with lots of toys and appropriate chew bones! If things get quiet you may want to check on me to see what I am doing to entertain myself! • I love my food and don’t care to share it with anyone; I was starving when alone trying to survive in the south without a home! • My foster mom doesn’t leave me alone a lot so I’d love a new home the same! • While I don’t exhibit anxiety alone I’m not used to it so I’m not sure how I’d do. • I can whine a little bit but my current home is pretty quiet and relaxing • I don’t have a lot of experience on a leash but when I’ve gone out I’ve been fine seeing people • I currently sleep on the floor next to my human with my favorite blanket and toys • I have a weird little quirk and I’m not sure why; sometimes I think I see something behind me that scares me when there is food or treats around; I think my tail is trying to get the food that I cherish so much. Maybe it’s because in the south other stray dogs were taking all the food and I rarely found any. I will bite my tail and foot but I’ve been working on that with my human and I doing much better knowing it’s my body! • I know: Sit, Easy (taking treats), and Paw (shakes) and am currently working on Stay Down to not jump • I am a very grateful and happy dog that just wants to be loved 24/7. I give LOTS of kisses; so my humans need to pucker up! • I currently live in a rural area in the middle of nowhere and do well. I love to be outside and go for walks. • Ideally I’d be happiest as the only dog and no cats, somewhere I can walk and run! A yard? I love to be outside. Once I learn even more I think I’ll be a very playful dog! I am learning what balls and toys are. I just want to find my forever family and best friends! • I love it when I get a few treats throughout the day while practicing “Paw” and “Sit” etc. I love learning and seeing the glee on my human’s face! I go for walks after breakfast and dinner and also a long walk at noon! If you are interested in adopting Lola please fill out an Application at www.Passion-4-Paws.org (please make sure you have the Vermont site not CT) - thanks! Please note Fosters have 1st option of Adoption. Check out her Facebook page (and "Like" us while you're there)! Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.
