Brief description: Lulu is an exceptionally laid back pup who just wants to snuggle on the couch. She came from a puppy mill and her breeding days are over and now it's her time to get spoiled
Likes: the couch, being with people and eating
Personality: goofy and laid back
Temperament: very laid back but needs proper introduction to other dogs. She is stubborn. You should be very familiar with the bulldog breed. She does not like taking pills and spits them out so I spread them over her food instead. She allows me to put medicine in her ears and eyes without any issues
Energy level: prefers to be a couch potato
Favorite activities: sleeping and snuggling on the couch with her people and dog friends
Good with cats, dogs, and kids over 6? Good with dogs but it is important to make sure she is properly introduced to other dogs. She is fine with the cat in her foster home
Not good with: nothing so far
Housetrained: No but working on it
Crate trained: No but working on it
Challenges: She is neither house or fully crate trained. She does not have accidents all over but she needs to be watched closely and needs someone around who will be able to train her and get her into a routine of going outside. She does not know how to walk on a leash yet and does not like it thus far.
Any Medical issues? No
What would be the best kind of home? Someone who is able to work with Lulu on her house and crate training. She does not mind going into the crate at all but would rather be hanging out with her people, Someone who is familiar with the bulldog breed and their stubbornness. Lulu is a low rider. She has very short legs and a very squat heavy body, therefore stairs can be a bit of a challenge for her.
Fostered in Bel Air, MD.
