Lola

My story

Hi… my name is Lola, and I’ve been waiting for someone like you. I’m about a year and a half old, a Boxer with a full, happy tail that never seems to stop wagging once I get comfortable. Life has been a bit of a mystery for me so far—I don’t really remember where I came from. I was found all alone as a stray in Yuma, Arizona, and even though kind people looked for my family, no one ever came to take me home. But that’s okay… because now I’m here at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, and everyone keeps telling me my real family is still out there, just waiting to meet me. Maybe that’s you. I should probably tell you something important about me—I can be a little shy at first. New people make me a bit unsure, and I just need a little time to figure out that everything’s okay and that I can trust you. But once I do… oh boy, you’d better be ready. Because that’s when the zoomies happen. You’ll see a whole different side of me—my tail wagging like crazy, my feet flying, my whole body wiggling with excitement. I just get so happy! It’s like all the love I’ve been holding inside comes bursting out at once. I promise I’ll make you laugh. Underneath that playful, energetic side, I’m really just a sweet, affectionate girl. I love being around my people and soaking up attention once I feel safe. I’m the kind of dog who will quietly come stand by you, just happy to be close, and then suddenly turn into your goofy best friend the next minute. When it comes to skills, I’m pretty good on a leash already—but I could use a little polishing. I’m still young, after all, and there’s plenty for me to learn. The good news is that I’m eager and willing, and I just need someone patient who will spend a little time helping me become the best version of myself. I promise it’ll be worth it. One of my favorite things? Water! When the weather gets hot, I absolutely love taking a dip in the pool. There’s nothing better than cooling off and splashing around—it makes me feel so happy and free. If you’ve got a pool or love spending time near water, I think we’ll get along just fine. There are a few things we don’t know about me yet. I haven’t been tested with cats, so that would need to be a careful introduction if you have any at home. But I’m open to learning about new friends, as long as we take things at a comfortable pace. The people here have taken really good care of me. I’ve been spayed, I’m up to date on all my vaccinations, and I now have a microchip—which means that if I ever get lost again, I’ll always have a way to find my way back home. That part makes me feel safe… and hopeful. What I really want is a family who understands that I might be a little shy at first—but who will see the sweet, playful girl waiting just underneath. Someone who will give me patience, kindness, and a little bit of training along the way. In return, I’ll give you everything I have—my loyalty, my silly zoomies, my wagging tail, and my whole heart. If you think we might be meant for each other… I would love to meet you. Please email mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment to come visit me here at Central Arizona Animal Rescue. I’ll be the one watching hopefully, waiting for my person to walk through the door.
