Story
This is Lola in first pic. Lola is up for adoption to good home only! Her sister is on right in second pic. Dad in 3rd pic. Mom in 4th pic. She just turned 3 years old. We have had them since they were puppies. Lola is spayed and chipped. She is very loving, entergetic and fun to be around. She is my best friend but she gets into lil squabbles with her sister and my daughter is more attached to the other dog. She is an inside dog and potty trained. She is very loyal and the best dog ive ever had. She listens very well. Her food and water dispenser will go with her along with her harness. Great dog just dont have time to train them to be around each other. Will need to be in a fence if left outside unless u have a big piece of property with no neighbors for her to roam. She would prefer to be inside though being a guard dog and warning you when someone is near by when she is not keeping you company and hanging out.
