MY HISTORY
Lola was found as a stray and taken to kennels. Sadly no-one came forward for her so she is looking for a new home through SSR.
ABOUT LOLA
Hi, I’m Lola!
I have been in kennels since December and I have had no interest.
I’m a big girl with a big personality and I would love a dog experienced home, or even better, a home that is used to larger breeds.
I have been passed around a lot in my life, I have been used for breeding and I have spent a lot of my time living outside.
Please don’t worry, I am not a banned breed and I have certifications to show that I am eligible for rehoming.
I can be quite aloof in nature and I love going on walks and having a good sniff of everything. You have my full attention if you have treats though! I will sit and paw and take treats ever so gently.
I do really enjoy my toys, I am quite active for a larger dog. my absolute favourite toy is my giggle ball! I will chase it around and roll on top of it!
I travel well in the car, in fact I love being in the car!
I get super excited when you get my lead out to go out! Currently I am strong on lead but tI have been used to wearing a halti which has helped.
Although I have been in kennels a long time, I am very happy here and I get a lot of time out and stimulation.
I have had an in-home assessment where I did struggle a lot being in a home. We would be open to a home with a kennel in the garden with full access to a garden which might make my settlement a little easier where I can come and go into the house as/when I please.
Please reach out if you can offer me a foster or forever home.
MY TEMPERAMENT WITH OTHER DOGS
I am generally quite aloof around other dogs, I have been used as a dog tester with new dogs arising in the kennels.
I may react back if a dog reacts to me and I can be a bit more on edge with smaller reactive breeds.
I am muzzle trained and I accept my muzzle very easily, but I don’t necessarily need to wear it all the time.
I cannot live with other dogs due to guarding issues that have arisen when in the presence of other dogs in a home setting.
MY IDEAL HOME
I would love a home that is dog experienced and preferably large breed experienced.
A home with patience in helping me settle as it may take some time. Full support provided to you by the team at SSR!
