Lola’s foster mom, Jocelyn, says:

Lola has been doing very well and is extremely sweet, although still a bit clingy and anxious. She is nervous meeting other dogs, but has not shown any aggression toward them. She LOVES people, strangers, everyone. She is more attached to Adam than me. I’m not sure if it’s me in particular or women in general.

Lola doesn’t understand toys, she just looks at them and doesn’t seem to be that interested. She will show food aggression if I am in the crate with her food (e.g., crawling in and putting it toward the back or even if she hasn’t eaten it all and I walk right up to the crate). However, now she understands “kennel” and runs in waiting for her food, so I put it in the front and she is fine. Additionally, she finishes each serving now, so no food-guarding in that sense.

Lola is very curious and affectionate, but she is aloof at the dog run. I am working on leash training her and she is progressing slowly. She gets very excited for the first 15 minutes of the walk then somewhat calms down. She’s even starting to understand “heel.”

I believe Lola would be good in a home that is patient with parents willing to provide good training and understanding her exercise needs. Should could live with a male dog as long as he is not aggressive towards her.
