About Lola

Meet Lola!

Lola is a one-year-old Lab mix with a big personality, a bigger heart, and energy for days. At around 55-60 pounds, she's still very much a playful puppy who is learning the ropes, and she's looking for an active home ready to help her grow into her best self. Lola is incredibly affectionate and people-loving. She thrives on attention and connection, and at the end of the day, her favorite place is curled up next to her person enjoying some well-earned snuggles. She's also very smart and highly treat-motivated, making her a great candidate for continued training. She loves learning and is eager to please.

Ideal Home

Lola is looking for a home where she can be the only pet. She isn't aggressive; she simply has a very energetic, enthusiastic play style that isn't always well received by other dogs. For now, we're still learning what works best for her. Lola is a fence jumper and can clear a 6-foot fence, so she'll need supervised outdoor time or another secure setup to keep her safe. An active family who enjoys getting out and having fun will be right up her alley.

Ongoing Health

All of our dogs are adoption-ready and come spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, dewormed, up-to-date on prevention medications and age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Lola is already crate trained and potty trained. She walks well on a leash, though she may get excited and pull at first! Like many young, active dogs, Lola can get into mischief if she's bored. Structure, enrichment, and plenty of appropriate outlets help her thrive. She absolutely loves water, playing fetch, toys, brain games, and anything that keeps her mind and body busy. She's working hard on learning appropriate boundaries, and we're hopeful that with continued training and slow, patient introductions, she may one day be able to enjoy canine companionship.
