Hi there! This is Lola (formerly known as Ivy) ! She's a very sweet girl with a lot of love to give. She is fully house broken, crate trained, and already knows "sit", "stay", and "paw". She loves to cuddle up on the couch and receive lots of pets! She loves to run outside and explore the great outdoors.
She is very shy and timid to new environments and people, and will need someone who can teach her to build the confidence she needs. She prefers being around women and is slower to be trusting of men. Once she has your trust, she will be an inseparable love bug!
If you are interested in adopting Lola, please reach out!
