Story
If grumpy gargoyle grandmas are your thing, then boy, do we have the dog for you. Lola is a 15-year-old mixed-breed beauty with a personality as big as her round belly. Lola has lost a good amount of weight with us - now weighing 22lbs - and should definitely stay on her diet for her joints. Since arriving, Lola has made so much progress. With some weight loss, laser therapy, and daily opportunities to explore and build strength, her mobility has improved significantly. Her back end will always be a bit unsteady, but she can now walk up and down a ramp and has far more good days than bad. We just started her on monthly Librela injections and the improvement has been incredible. That said, Lola's hind end is sensitive and likely has been for a long time. She does not like to be picked up and will tell you so the only way she knows how: by nipping. Thankfully, she's pretty independent. On the rare occasion we do need to lift her, we use a blanket to protect our hands and to ensure her whole body is supported so it does not cause her pain. Because of her physical sensitivity and communication style, we recommend an experienced home without children. Lola gets along well with other dogs who respect her space. She has a hard time with blind pups because she’s constantly on high alert trying to stop them from bumping into her sensitive legs. With the right match, she can live with other dogs. Just don't expect her to share snacks! Lola prefers to dine by herself and will guard her favorite thing (food) from other pets. Lola is spayed, up to date on vaccines, has had full bloodwork, and has been treated for a UTI and ear infections. She does have a grade 3 heart murmur but does not require medication at this time.
