DESCRIPTION
This adorable little puppy came to BENCHS alongside four of her siblings and has quickly won everyone over with her playful personality and tiny size. Weighing in at just 15.8 pounds, Lola is currently the smallest of the group, but what she lacks in size she absolutely makes up for in personality.
While we cannot say for certain what breeds make up this litter, our best guess is perhaps a Cattle Dog and Terrier mix of some sort. Lola already shows many of the traits people love about these kinds of dogs. She is smart, active, inquisitive, and always ready to learn something new, especially if treats are involved. Lola is extremely food motivated, which makes her a wonderful candidate for continued positive reinforcement training as she grows.
Lola is looking for an active indoor home that will continue helping her build confidence, learn good puppy manners, and channel her energy into fun and enriching activities. Puppies with her likely breed mix often thrive in homes that enjoy walks, adventures, training sessions, puzzle toys, and making their dog part of everyday life.
She is very dog friendly and continues to live comfortably with her siblings here at the shelter. Lola can be a little vocal at times, but it is usually just her enthusiastic way of expressing herself. Despite her tiny size, she is social, outgoing, and very friendly with new people.
Like any young puppy, Lola is still learning about the world around her and will need patience, consistency, and continued training as she grows. In return, she promises to bring a whole lot of personality, laughter, and love into the lives of the people lucky enough to call her family.
