lola

Lola is the sweetest 2-year-old Bull Terrier mix who weighs 32 lbs. She was found wandering
the streets of Bakersfield and likely had a litter of puppies prior to being rescued. Her foster Dad
was sent a Facebook post from the shelter, which announced her impending euthanization due to
lack of public interest (likely due to her breed being hastily labeled as “Pit Bull” at the time).

Luckily, Lola was taken in by her foster Dad six hours before her scheduled euthanization.
Despite her past, Lola has the most loving and calm temperament, and is the absolute definition
of a “Velcro dog”. She quietly shadows her foster Dad wherever he goes, then crawls into his lap
when he sits down. Her favorite activities include snuggling, cuddling, and receiving belly rubs!

She recently discovered the joy of chasing a ball and will always try to get her foster brothers to
join her. Lola bonds to humans and other dogs very quickly, no matter their age, gender, or size,
becoming a member of the family within hours!

As for obedience, Lola is currently working on minimizing licking, which she often does when
excited. However, with some gentle warnings and treats, Lola responds well to training and is a
fast learner. She is already fully crate-trained and potty-trained; every foster’s dream! While she
does get along with other dogs of all sizes and ages, Lola is not strongly dependent on canine
companionship; she would be happy regardless of another dog in the home. She prioritizes
snuggling with her family, receiving lots of pets, and eating yummy snacks!

MEDICAL HISTORY:
Lola does not have a history of medical issues, underlying health problems, or is in need
of veterinary care. She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped.

IDEAL HOME:
Lola would do best with an individual or family who is moderately active and ready to
give her all the snuggles! She gets along with dogs of all sizes and ages (including
puppies), as well as humans and young children. We would be open to potential adopters
living in an apartment or condo, as long as daily walks are routine.

FUN FACTS:
- Lola is a relatively calm pup, and would rather cuddle on the couch than roughhouse.
- She is usually quite indifferent to other dogs, but will play if initiated!
- She has an adorable smiling expression when she is happy or content.
- Lola sleeps beside her foster Dad every night.
- She always waits for “permission” before jumping on her foster Dad’s lap!
