Lulu (GA)
Lulu and her sister Coco were abandoned at a nearby storage facility and I have been fostering them for several weeks. Lulu is approximately 5-6 months old, 35 lbs, and potentially a mix of lab, pointer, herding, and shepherd breeds, but really, no one knows for sure. She is an absolute love—gets along well with other dogs, cats, and kids. She is doing really well with potty training, crate training, and goes all night (9 hours!) without accidents. She also does well in cars. She will need some help with walking on a leash, as this is clearly something she hasn't experienced before.
We adore her but already have a dog and two cats and travel a lot. We really want her to find a family who will give her lots of love and guidance. She is wicked smart, learns easily, and is eager to please you! Please consider giving Lulu a loving home!
We are helping Lulu's current guardian to rehome her. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with her current guardian.
๐ถ Puppy Training, Socialization and Housetraining:

- 18 weeks: Develop bladder muscles to hold up to 2 hours.
- Preventing Adolescent Problems (by 5 months): Walk daily and socialize to ensure that your pup grows up to be well-rounded and well-schooled puppy remains a mannerly, well-socialized, and friendly dog throughout adulthood.
