Hi everyone, my name is Lola
Lola is a beautiful girl who is searching for a special someone to call her own! She’s a sweet girl who just needs a little extra time, patience and understanding to help her feel confident and comfortable in the world. With the right person by her side, we hope to see Lola’s confidence grow and her personality truly shine!
Lola is looking for a nice, quiet home where she can enjoy the simple things in life without feeling overwhelmed. She would love to be the only dog in the household, while she gains confidence. Lola would also be best suited to a home without men, as she currently finds them a little scary and needs an environment where she can feel completely comfortable and secure.
Lola’s new family will need to be committed to continuing her training and helping her work through her anxiety. Positive reinforcement, gentle encouragement and plenty of patience will go a long way in helping this girl build her confidence. She will need someone who understands that little steps forward are worth celebrating and that building trust takes time.
Lola might need a little extra help finding her paws, but she has so much potential and deserves her very own happy ending. Could you be the special person she’s been waiting for?

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
