Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lola is an 8-year-old, 17-pound Rat Terrier & Chihuahua mix with a wonderful Chi face and the most beautiful eyes. She is a love bug. She wants to be wherever you are, preferably in your lap. She loves everyone and greets new people joyously. She’s a mini welcoming committee for guests in your home.
Lola lives for human attention. She loves to be petted and told what a pretty girl she is. She alternates between lap dog and excitable girl. Watch the video of her playing in the water from the hose—she leaps and bounds higher than you could imagine a dog her size could jump. Another great cause for excitement is mealtime, where she will greet her food bowl with a twirl or two and a happy tail wag. But she saves her best performance for the Dance of Mom Coming Home, where you will get multiple twirls, crouches, kisses and puppy-like enthusiasm.
Lola has her manners down. She is house-trained. There is no need to crate her—she is totally non-destructive. She rides well in the car. She is not a barky dog. She is in good health and we just had her teeth cleaned. She would prefer to sleep in the bed with you at night, but if she can’t, she’ll sleep in her own designated dog bed. She requires very little correction and must be corrected gently as she gets her feelings hurt easily.
Lola would do well in either a house or an apartment. Teenage children are fine. She needs to be an only dog because she has food aggression issues with other dogs (not with people). She came to us because her owner died and the children were unable to care for her and her sister. She’s a happy, contented, low-maintenance dog who offers companionship and affection.
Lola’s adoption fee is $175 and includes spay, all shots & microchip. She is heartworm-negative and is on heartworm prevention.
Note:
We always respond first to inquiries that tell us something about your living situation (house, apartment, single, family, etc.) and why you want this dog. Be sure to include your phone number in your inquiry. We call inquiries that seem to be a good fit for the dog.
