Story

Lolo - Male - 5 Months - Lab Mix Meet Lolo — a 5-month-old mixed breed pup with a big dog attitude in a little dog body! Brave, curious, and endlessly playful, Lolo is the kind of puppy who walks through life like he already runs the kingdom (very “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” energy 👑). He may be small, but his confidence is mighty — especially when he’s barking at his own reflection like it’s his greatest rival. Lolo’s days are best spent chewing on his favorite toys, romping around, and soaking up attention from his people. In the house, he’s playful and full of energy — but don’t be fooled. After a good play session, he’s all about those sweet, snuggly puppy naps. His foster says his soft cuddles were the biggest surprise of all! He’s currently working on potty training and making great progress with his crate. With a divider added, he did REALLY well overnight — such a smart boy! He’s eating three meals a day and thriving. While he’s still learning his routines (he is just a baby, after all), he does great at feeding time and is eager to please. Lolo is: Wonderful with adults Fabulous with kids Great with other dogs (even big ones — he’s not intimidated!) Still waiting to meet cats On leash, he’s doing just fine, though he hasn’t gone on long adventures yet. As a typical puppy, he’ll need a home ready to give him guidance, patience, and lots of attention while he continues learning the ropes — especially potty training. What makes everyone fall for him? His little face, his strong happy tail, and the way he looks at you like you’re his whole world. He’s goofy, full of life, and has so much love to give. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate pup who will keep you laughing and fill your home with joy, Lolo might just be your perfect match 💛
