Lulu

I'm looking for my forever home. Could you be my perfect match?

Are you right for Lulu?

Lulu will need to be the only pet and any children in the home must be of high school age. She will require someone at home all the time as she does not cope well when left alone. A secure garden will also be essential, as will need a refresher on house training. She is an active girl who loves her walks and loves doing our agility course. Lulu would make a great companion for someone.

Is Lulu right for you?

Lulu may be 10 years old but don't be fooled by her greying face, she has bags and bags of energy! She's an incredibly active dog who likes to be out exploring. Lulu is great with people and adores her toys and would play all day with you. She has taken centre life in her stride and has been lapping up the fuss and cuddles from her carers. Lulu has been great with the vets and everyone that she's met. Lulu will walk with other quieter dogs but would prefer to be the only pet in the home, as she's happy enough in her own company. Lulu does not enjoy time without her humans as has been destructive at times when left alone, but if her family are willing to work with her, her solo time can be gradually increased so that she learns it's nothing to fear. Lulu is a smashing dog with bags of personality.
