Lulu Introduction!

Now that we’ve had a little time to get to know Miss Lulu, here’s the scoop—and spoiler alert: she’s pretty fantastic.

~Champion snuggler (this is her superpower) ~ No accidents so far— house manners on point ~ Crate trained, but would much prefer VIP access to the big bed ~ LOVES squeaky toys (the louder, the better) ~ Just enough sass to keep things interesting ~ Puppy referee— she’ll politely (but firmly) tell the puppies when playtime gets too spicy Lulu is 3 years old and currently waiting on her nares and palate surgery.

Once that’s done, she’ll be officially ready for adoption!

She will be attending the next two adoption events, but honestly?

She’d be thrilled to meet her forever family sooner rather than later.

Why wait when you could already be snuggling this sweet, slightly sassy girl on your couch?

Trust us… Lulu is the kind of pug who makes herself right at home and straight into your heart.
