I found LuLu at a shelter when she was about 1 year old. She is 6 years old now, very friendly and affectionate. She loves to be w/her person/family. She is a very playful, smart companion. She loves belly rubs, long walks and playing fetch. Unfortunately I am unable to keep LuLu due to my new landlord stating that I am not allowed to have pets and I am unable to move at this time. LuLu gets along pretty well w/other dogs but does not care for cats. LuLu needs space and love from a person/family that will give her the stability and attention deserves.
