Hello! I’m Lola!

I am a female Staffordshire Bull terrier, am 14 years old as I was born on 12/06/12 and am a medium tan and white dog.

I’ve been spayed and I’m in the process of having my vaccinations updated. I have have fatty lumps and skin tags, vet checked and nothing to worry about, and am fit and well. Flea treatments irritate my skin so I’ve not been given them, but am up to date with worming. I eat complete dry food but am not fussy and will eat anything and love carrot sticks.

My owner has been placed into emergency accommodation and can’t take me so sadly I have to look for a new home at my stage of life.

I will snuggle up to you all day if allowed, can be quite slow till shown a tennis ball and then become very lively again. I love sunbathing and am very food-orientated. I love all people whatever their age and have lived with 5 children for the last 8 years, now aged 10-18 and have been great with them all. I’m also good with my owner’s disabled mum and will wait for her. In fact, my family describe me as just perfect. I don’t like cats or other dogs. In fact, I’ve proved to be very dog aggressive around other dogs at the Ark. I don’t like my paws being held.

Additional Information

 I’ve not shown any aggression to people. I have no food aggression, will pinch food I find lying around but have never taken it from the childrens’ hands. I’m anxious but well-behaved at the vets, hate my nails being clipped, am fine to be bathed at home, but hate my feet being touched. I’m house-trained and need more frequent toilet breaks now I’m older, can be left for up to 5 hours if necessary but there’s always been somebody at home in recent years. I slept on my own bed, usually in my owner’s sister’s or mum’s room. I travel ok in the car if secured well but pant and need to look out of the window. I pull on the lead at first and then settle, unless I see another dog. I’ve not been let off the lead and have no recall. I enjoy shorter walks now I’m older but still love to go out. I wear a muzzle when out because of my dislike of other dogs. I love toys but stuffed ones need to be de-stuffed and de-eyed first as I’ll chew them. I’m a fantastic people dog and can live with children but need to be an only pet. I’d be a great companion for an older but still active person.
