Lola (aka Chucky) – Ready for Her Fresh Start Sweet Lola has been through a lot, but thanks to the incredible care she received at Hudson Veterinary Hospital, she is feeling SO much better and ready to start her next chapter!

A little extra love. A little extra attention. And in return? You get a deeply devoted, grateful companion who will bond hard and love big. Lola isn’t looking for “perfect.” She’s looking for committed. Someone who sees her not as a responsibility, but as a heart worth protecting. If you believe that the best love stories sometimes need a little extra care, Lola may be your girl. Apply to meet Lola today and help her start her next beautiful adventure. ##2541013##

Story

Amelia is a sweet senior girl who truly loves people. She greets you with kisses and is always happy to soak up attention. Even at 10 years old, she has plenty of energy and enjoys playtime. She has a fun, lively personality and doesn’t act her age. Amelia is very fond of her Kuranda bed and enjoys having a cozy place to relax after she’s had some activity. She likes being around her people and being part of what’s going on. Amelia is still working on her walking manners and will pull sometimes. She also isn’t shy about expressing her opinion when the other dogs are barking. With structure and patience, she will continue to learn. Amelia is a mixed breed born on 1/22/2016 and weighs 34 pounds. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Amelia is looking for a loving home that will appreciate her affectionate nature, playful spirit, and spunky senior personality. *************************************************************************** This pet comes with an implanted 24 PetWatch microchip and free registration into the 24PetWatch pet recovery service. *************************************************************************** This dog is available for adoption at the Humane Society of McCormick County is SC for an adoption fee.
