Dog for Adoption – Lolly
Lolly – cute, tiny, girl – one of the only survivors of the mass killing at the Hammond shelter on Aug 4, 2008.
Lolly’s foster mom says this about her…
I think Lolly is somewhat younger than the vet’s 1 1/2 year estimate. She lost her puppy canine shortly after arriving here and her molars seem a little small. She is doing well overcoming her shyness. She will let you approach her on most occasions and will approach you when you sit down or go to bed.
Please adopt Lolly!
She loves to snuggle, especially in bed. She is very playful and seems very puppyish in her mannerisms. She gets along well with all sizes of dogs. Although she is shy at times, she is not skittish. She is very humble and submissive. Not an Alpha at all, but will hold her ground. I have not observed any resource guarding with the other three inside dogs we have. They all take turns eating out of two bowls.Everyone has a “bed”, but they play musical beds with no aggression.
Her housebreaking is going fairly well, especially if taken out frequently. I have even seen her go to the door to be let out.
We have 2 cats inside. She does not harass them, but has approached them on occasion. If they make eye contact, she walks off. She barks appropriately. She has lately begun to try to “talk” to me when she gets excited.
She does like to spend time outside sniffing around, and does no seem concerned if you are not in attendance (like my 2 poodles). She loves for you to sing the “Lolly Pop Song” to her.
She has not been exposed to children yet, so I don’t know her response would be. Still seems a little shy with strangers, but I think she will overcome that.
Lolly likes toys!
She has been known to decapitate stuffed animals and disembowel them, but usually is assisted by one of her evil “sisters”. So far I have not worked with her on tricks or commands due to her shyness, but I think we are getting to the point to where I can. I’ve been more concerned with her self-esteem.. Did you notice the beautiful golden-hazel eyes? We tried to take that into consideration while taking her pictures.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All dogs need regular vigorous exercise. They also should be obedience trained and have an owner that knows how to be the pack leader. We will only consider adopting to people willing to give the proper care and leadership that all dogs need.
If you are interested please fill out the application FIRST. There is no obligation. The dog’s foster parent will get in touch with you and will answer any questions that you may have.Thanks!
