Lola Needs a Family to Call Her Own!

Loves Children
Loves Other Dogs
Loves People
Young and Healthy
Professionally Trained


Most families who are looking to adopt a rescue dog have a wish list of criteria that they would like their new dog to meet. That list typically includes a dog that is friendly with people, a dog that is good with children, a dog that enjoys the company of other dogs, and a dog that has plenty of life ahead of her with a clean bill of health. For rescues like Take Me Home, finding a dog that meets all of those requirements is not always easy. Not every dog arrives at a rescue ready and able to fulfill a family’s wish list. Not every dog is Lola.

Lola is not only young, healthy, and friendly with other dogs and children, but she is also professionally trained. Not only will she greet your guests and children with licks and love, but she will not destroy your home or require housebreaking. Lola currently lives with our trainer and happily shares her home with a number of other dogs, both large and small. She is crate trained and non-destructive in her home, and knows a number of commands, all of which our trainer will teach the family who is lucky enough to adopt her.
One would assume that a dog with a resume as impressive as Lola’s must have belonged to a family who provided her with excellent care, socialization, training, and plenty of love. But sadly, nothing could be farther from the truth. Lola was found collapsed and dying on the steps of a building in downtown Los Angeles where she had dragged her tired and weakened body, desperately searching for someone to come to her aid; after being left on the streets to fend for herself. Dehydrated, malnourished, and left for dead, Lola’s amazing spirit allowed her to cling to life and drag herself to a place where help arrived just in time.


Once her critical health issues were addressed and those of us at Take Me Home got to know Lola, it became very clear that she is an exceptional dog that rose far above her circumstances; a dog that despite never being shown any care, love, or compassion, could still meet the list of requirements on a family’s wish list. And yet, with every box on the wish list checked, Lola still sits and waits, without a family to call her own, for over a year now. And for a dog like Lola, that’s one year too long. Lola’s story is being told in the hopes that it will reach a loving family whose wish list has yet to be fulfilled; a family who realizes what a privilege it would be to provide Lola with a home to call her own; the family that she believed was coming for her as she found the strength to drag herself to safety.

If you or a family you know is willing to provide her with the love, stability, and care that she has always deserved, then please contact Take Me Home and be prepared for Lola to check off every requirement on your wish list. In return, she only asks for one item on her very short wish list...
a family to call her own.
