Great Pyrenees and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Columbia, Illinois

Lola is a playful, friendly, and active pup with a big personality and an even bigger love for fun! She is happiest when busy chewing on her toys or proudly 'redecorating' her stuffies, so durable, hard toys are a must for this energetic girl. Lola enjoys her meals and special treats and does best with supervised mealtimes and continued positive, reward-based training to help her shine. She is selective with her dog friends, not a fan of cats, and does best with older children who can match her energy and respect her space.

The perfect home for Lola would be one that embraces her playful spirit and enjoys an active, engaging companion. She will thrive with adopters who can provide structure, consistency, and fun enrichment such as walks, playtime, and training games. Lola would love to be the star of the show in a home with patient humans who understand her boundaries and cheer her on as she continues to learn and grow.

Lola is ready and waiting to bring joy, laughter, and lots of tail wags to a loving home that is ready for her vibrant personality!

Lola is one year old and weighs 61 pounds.

The adoption fee for adult dogs, seven months and older, is $250. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting a dog, please stop by the shelter during open hours. Dogs may be in a foster home, therefore scheduling an appointment is recommended. If you have an existing dog at home, we recommend bringing it along to meet your possible new family member.
