My name is Saint Lola!

Hi! I'm Lola, and I'm back at RSR to work on my confidence. I've recently discovered my strong urge to chase cats, so a cat-free home would be best for me. I'm looking for a patient family with time, energy, and ideally, a mature dog to help me learn.

I'm a hound mix, possibly part Aussie or Border Collie, which means I'm energetic and need plenty of exercise. I love exploring scents, talking (so no shared walls), and at 12 months old, I'm still a bit of a puppy figuring things out. Car rides, snuggles, belly rubs, and following my human around are some of my favorite things. New people can make me nervous, so introductions need to be slow and supervised, especially with men, as I warm up to women faster.

I deal with anxiety and some resource guarding, so I prefer to eat my meals in peace. I need a confident pack leader, ideally an adult woman, and a family with dog experience, no small kids, and a quiet environment. A fenced yard is a must, as I have a history of escaping. I'm working on my listening and leash manners, and a one-on-one trainer would be great, as group classes are overwhelming for me right now.

I know it’s a lot, but I’ve had many transitions in my life. I’m excited to find my forever family, and I’d love to meet you! Feel free to ask my foster mom any questions!
