More detail:
2017-03-29: My name is Lola Roo and even though the vet thinks I am about 9 years old, you would never know it. I weigh 50 lbs. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was so thankful to be out of that scary shelter that all I wanted to do was climb up on my foster mom. I just wanted to be right by her side and follow her everywhere and I would have sat on her lap if she would just let me. Because I am a pretty skinny girl, I am trying to gain some weight and build some muscle strength, especially in my hind legs. My hips are a little weak and the vet says I need to take joint supplements and anti-inflammatory meds for the rest of my life. This doesn't slow me down much. Pretty normal for a girl my age. And like most girls, I am trying to follow a healthy diet and exercise that consists of daily walks and playing fetch in hopes of becoming bikini ready for summer. Did I mention that I absolutely LOVE playing fetch? It is one of my favorite things to do.My foster mom doesn't think that I have ever slept in a crate before because I wasn't the biggest fan of it, but I have learned that this is a space just for me and I run straight in when I am told. During the day, I like to spend time outside with my fur-sister. She is a few years younger and tries to get me to play with her but I am content just exploring the big yard or laying in the sun. I have a pool at my house and tried swimming for the first time but I was not very good at it. Twice I got a little too close to the edge and actually fell in. I was not sure what to do in the water, but that did not scare me away from it. I am sure with a few more lessons I will get the hang of it. When I am inside I mind my manners and stay off the couches and I do not jump on the counters. When you meet me, it is obvious that I am very friendly with everyone including other dogs but my foster mom can tell that I am happiest when I am sitting by her side with her holding my paw or giving me a good belly rub. I would do well in a fur-ever family where I was an only dog or a home where I had other dogs to hang out with. In my current home, I live with three young kids, two dogs and two cats. I do not pay much attention to the cats and to be honest I did not even know they lived here. So if you think that you would like to be my furever family contact your family rep right away!
