🐾 Meet LuLu! 🐾
Age: 1 year old | Breed: Chihuahua / Japanese Chin Mix | Energy Level: Playful but perfectly portable
Hey there, I’m LuLu aka Louise! I might just be a one-year-old pocket-sized pup (6 lbs.), but my personality is larger than life! I combine the bold, sassy spirit of a Chihuahua with the sweet, aristocratic elegance of a Japanese Chin.
What makes me so special:
Your Ultimate Shadow: I form deep bonds with my humans and love nothing more than being your little best buddy.
Playful & Quirky: I love zooming around the backyard or playing a game of catch me if you can, or doing my famous little happy-dance when you come home or break out the treats!
A Total Cuddle Bug: Once I’ve burned off my puppy energy, my favorite place is curled right up in your lap. Sometimes I even perch on the back of the couch like a cat!
Quirky Behaviors: I do not like being crated for more than a few minutes to eat meals. If left in longer, I will hurt myself. My foster mom also says that I’m part rooster, because my bark is more like a very loud cock-a-doodle-do! I’m just beginning to learn to use my inside voice much to the neighbor’s delight.
My Perfect Home:
I’m a wonderful companion who thrives on being around my people. I get along well with other small dogs, but my energy is sometimes bothersome to the older dogs in my foster home. I’d do best in a home with respectful older children or adults who know how to play gently with a small dog. I don't need miles of running, just a couple of short, fun walks a day to sniff the world and stretch my legs. I’m just beginning to learn what a leash is for….I thought it was for chewing at first! I’m also a pro at racing in and out the doggie door already!
If you are looking for a loyal, laughing, and loving little sunshine to brighten your days, I’m your pup!
P.S. I’m also spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. If you have completed an application for me, my adoption coordinator has or will reach out to you.
