Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Lola" is an approx 60-lb, 1-yo soon-to-be spayed female GSD who is super-sweet & playful. Lola is a love bug with everyone she meets; she loves to cuddle. She has the right temperament to be good w/ young children and takes treats gently. However, she will need some supervision with youngsters as she playfully nipped at the feet of two teenage girls in her previous foster home. However, she has not exhibited that behavior at all in her current foster home.
Lola is fantastic with other dogs. She loves to play and is always submissive. She will lie on the ground just tempting the other young dogs to "attack her" and will let them chew on her like a rag doll. She almost never gets upset, no matter how rough the other dogs play with her. Ideally, I would like to see Lola go to a home w/ another young, playful dog, but this is not a requirement for adoption.
Lola was in a home with two cats for about a week and reportedly did OK w/ them. She did want to chase after them when they ran but backed away when they held their ground. I will consider a home with cats for Lola, but ONLY if there is also a young, playful dog for her to expend her energy on--otherwise I fear she'd drive the cats crazy.
Lola is completely housetrained and has never had an accident in any of the three homes she's been in since she was found as a stray. She did chew on the furniture and rugs in her first foster home, but has not chewed anything she shouldn't in her current foster home.
Lola obeys some basic commands and has fairly good off-leash recall. She needs work on-leash but has not had much opportunity to learn leash skills.
A man named Ken found Lola in south Sacramento on Dec 24, 2018. He took her home, had her scanned for a microchip (none), notified the County and City shelters and posted online found notices. No owner came forth, and since Ken already had four dogs he was unable to keep Lola. GSRSV took Lola to a foster home on Dec 30 but had to retrieve her on Jan 5 as Lola was trying to dig her way out of the foster caretaker's yard when nobody was home.
Lola has yet to be spayed, but will be prior to adoption.
Lola is now in a foster home in another foster home in Sacramento. Her adoption fee is $260.
