K12 Lola, Pretty Staffie Girl

[Becky]

Well hello pretty lady



This absolute beaut is Lola, and the poor babe is very bewildered by her new surroundings She is very stressed at kennel life and is clearly missing her family and home comforts I wish we could explain to them that its all going to be okay



After a toilet break and a quick stretch of her legs, we took Lola into the quiet of the Vets room for some getting to know you time. She wasn't up for playtime today, but the pate certainly got her attention and we even saw her tail up and wagging



She happily showed us her best sit too



Lola is a very affectionate lady, and she really seemed to get some comfort from having a few cwtches

A nice chest rub from Aunty Cheryl hits the spot!



And a nice back massage! See Lola, it aint too bad here!



We didn't see Lola completely relax today and it was heartbreaking when she gave out her cries, it really was like she was calling for her family Lola, you are safe now, the Purple Pilgrims and staff will take wonderful care of you x



We really hope Lola's family come for her, but if not, she will be available for rehoming from 6th August. If you'd like more information, please phone the Dogs' Home: 029 2071 1243 or visit Cardiff Dogs' Home, Westpoint Industrial Estate, Penarth Road, open 7 days a week, 10.30 - 4pm.

Hiya if you're interested in adopting Lola you need to get down to cdh and meet her then complete an application form.

Staff will take up to 3 applications now and when she's available for rehoming they will try to match her with the best home

Took Lola for a walk today. She is very well behaved. Was not at all bothered when around other dogs we met on our walk, just kept walking. Quite a gentle dog for a staffie and enjoyed some cuddles at our water break en route. She is a very easy dog to manage on the lead and will make a fantastic forever friend.

We took the gorgeous little Lola out on Friday morning and she was a star through-out. It took her a little while to warm up to us, which is completely understandable with being taken out by two strangers on top of everything else she's going through. She was eager for her walkies though and came raring out of the kennels with her tail wagging away. She had a bit of an odd sneeze/cough that cleared up half way down the lane, but we also noticed a bit of blood coming from her nose every so often throughout the walk. We let the staff know when we got back and they said they'd get the vet to check her out, and she seemed otherwise very happy and sound on the walk, so hopefully it's nothing serious!

It was starting to warm up a little once we reached Grangemoor, so we stopped at some benches for a little rest and water. Lola seemed more comfortable with us by that point and was happy to cuddle in and get some fuss, especially when I sat on the floor so she could get closer. She took treats very gently and showed off a lovely sit. Every so often she would start to whine, and cuddles seemed to help a bit, but walking proved to be the best medicine. She's a little lady but is quite happy to keep going and going! As we were leaving the benches we came across a couple and an off-lead dog. The dog was very gentle and well-trained but despite us asking the owners to call their dog away, they were a little too relaxed initially and it came up to say hello to Lola. She was a little unsure of this new dog in such close quarters, though showed zero aggression. She just wasn't sure. We explained to the owners why we wanted to keep the shelter dogs away from other dogs, and they were very polite, so hopefully they'll notice the hi-vis vests in the future. They did comment that Lola was very lovely and well-behaved - which is obvious but still nice to hear! All other dogs we passed were ignored. As was the tennis ball we tried with her, but that could be because Lola was very much in 'walkies' mode.

Everything is still very new and strange for poor Lola, but if you come and see her please take a little time with her and you'll see how affectionate and sweet this little lady is!
