Lulu

Hi my name is Lulu! I am what people believe to be an Australian Kelpie/Shepherd Mix and was born sometime around October, 2023. I am a petite girl, weighing in at just over 30 lbs. I was found roaming around town, an itty bitty girl, hungry and scared of everything around me, dreaming and praying I would be taken in and cared for the way I deserved to be. My dreams came true one day when a really nice family found me and couldn't bear to let me stay out in the cold rain. Now, I'm embarking on a new chapter - learning the ropes of family life in a home bustling with children and another furry friend. At first, I wasn't sure about toys or beds or anything comfortable since I had never had these amenities before. Because I was always scavenging for food, and although I now never miss a nutritious meal, I can sometimes get nervous that this resource will not last. I do let my foster siblings share my water bowl with me now and I've gained some healthy weight since I've been with my foster family. Now that I've been able to learn from my humans, I LOVE toys!! They're so fun to play with and run after! Balls are my absolute favorite! I have even learned to like my doggie bed, especially when my foster humans lay with me. I do still prefer no blankets in my crate when I am left alone or checking in for the night but have recently been sleeping in my foster parent's bed and I sleep like a dream! My foster Mom says I'm a beautiful, sweet and spunky girl. She loves my playful bouncy energy and that I like to cuddle up for belly rubs when I'm tired. Because I love to run and play so much, I would love an active family, with children 10 or older, that will take me on adventures and a fenced in yard of my own so I can zoom around safely! I can't wait to find my forever family! I would do great in a home with another playful, medium to large dog, to show me the ropes and even older human siblings old enough to throw my toys for me! Lulu is potty trained, up to date on vaccinations, has been dewormed, microchipped and spayed. She is participating in basic obedience training with our trainer so her adopters will be required to continue this training until completed, paid for by APL. Lulu will do best in a home with a physically fenced yard so she can run and play safely. Applications can be submitted at: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/dogs
