Character
This beautiful, gentle shaggy dog is called Lola. She’s a little deaf, a little wonky and partially sighted, but she’s very friendly, loyal and loves to be around children. Born c. 2016 and c.25kg, Lola is in a foster home in Serbia but is hoping for a pampered retirement here in the UK.
Could you spoil her rotten?
We think Lola was a street dog for most of her life, relying on the kindness of locals. As she aged, Lola would have found it harder to run from the dog catchers. Inevitably she was caught and, sadly, taken to one of the worst high-kill shelters in Serbia.
One of our rescuers saved her and took her to live in foster with her own parents.
Now used to living in a home, Lola is housetrained, neutered and is used to walking on the lead. She likes a cuddle. She is curious and attentive and is relatively active for a golden oldie (her rescuer says an energy level of 2 out of 5). Lola likes her walks, if they aren’t too long or it isn’t too hot outside!
Lola adores children and walks with them so nicely but is friendly and gentle with everyone. She bonds very closely with her carers and is very loyal.
Perhaps due to her blindness, Lola can be wary when meeting new dogs, so adopters will need to ensure introductions are done respectfully and slowly. Although she may growl on first meeting, she is friendly after establishing she is safe. It is not yet known how Lola is with cats.
Although Lola is still a beauty, she’s had a tough life, and it shows. She has some missing teeth, and the ones left are not in great shape. She is partially sighted due to cataracts and has reduced hearing. Her whole left side is a little wonky. But Lola takes this all in her stride, in her gentle, noble way. That makes her even more adorable.
Lola’s rescuer wants her to find comfort in her old age, with adopter(s) who have some idea of how difficult her life must have been. Can you help us find that place?

Type of Home Sought
Lola can live with other dogs, pending gentle, patient, experienced introductions. She could also live as an only dog. Lola would make a lovely companion, or as part of a family; certainly, she would delight in visiting grandchildren.
A garden, some short walks, a few cuddles and a comfy bed with someone who’s around a lot of the time would make this lovely old lady’s hard life really worthwhile.
