Owner Info: Lola is a beautiful girl whose owner recently became a mother of two, and caring for Lola and her special needs has become overwhelming.  She knows Lola deserves a home where she can get more attention. Lola is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house, she is housebroken but not leash trained.  Lola is good with men and women, but her owner recommends a home without small children.  Lola has never bitten or snapped.  Her owner tells us that Lola does mouth hands when she is trying to figure a new person out, but has never caused harm.  Her owner also tells us that Lola loves attention and will bark at strangers, but only because she wants them to notice her!    Lola is not possessive of toys, treats, or food. Lola is partially blind.  Her owner writes, "her eyes slightly dialate, she runs into things and can see things further than 2feet away, if u toss a toy or treat etc."  She is also gluten intolerant and is fed an organic grain-free food.  Lola's owner gave us more information about how she is with other dogs and more details about her personality:  "As for her temperment with other dogs, i left that unchecked because i have never seen her interact with another dog. The neighbors dog got loose one time and was rather aggressive, lola was on the lanai and she just barked and raised all her fur. I know whenever the neighbor dog barks, she barks back. So thats about it. She never used to bark until i had my daughter. Now she barks at ppl she doesnt know at our door, or if she hears people in their yards. i assume she thinks they are intruders. If u r on lolas level she will sort of walk all over you, she seems unaware or feet etc and will step on them. She does ok with my 4yr old but he is almost 4ft tall. Any children smaller than that i wouldnt recommend. Also we did have a cat, and they played but lola would eventually get rough. It was almost like she thought the cat was her toy. The cat wld find places to get away when it had enough. We do have a very long tie for lola so she can have run of the yard and play with my son, but its tough in florida with the heat to ever have her out for very long. Also she doesnt like wet grass so she prefers being in here in rainy season. If i were to undo the gate, she will go to the master room but wld not want to be in the living room. Shes timid of terrain she doesnt have memorized and with baby jumpers, high chairs and rocking chairs constantly being shifted, she has grown to dislike the common areas."​ Lola's owner wants us to know that, "she is a great dog with a sweet personality. She is extemely loving. Unfortunately I have a son with developmental delays and a new born, i can not give the dog the attention and affection ane deserves. I would see her best in a home with grown children or a childless home. She would be best if accepted by her new owners as a member of their family where she can be cuddled and loved."​
