My story

　　Lola is a 2.5 year old German Shepherd/ Lab mix. She is a wonderful dog and deserves to be in a great home with an active lifestyle and an abundance of TLC. She She is crate trained, knows basic commands, handles great on walks and bikes. Lola is nice to everyone she meets! Lola is great with kids and other dogs with similar personalities

　　(may need a gentle introduction) has never been around cats though. Lola is very loyal, sweet, energetic, sleeps most the day if you're busy with daily life and has a big personality that's so loveable. Her favorite things to do are play fetch, chew on a bone, run, and swim! *Anxiety - only comes out when she's crated. She howls and barks after a few minutes, even when she can see us around. It really is not all that bad-- she does know the anticipatory signs of you leaving, but once she settles down she is fine. Her current foster says that she has been doing really well being crated and does not bark (she is typically being crated for 3 hours while the foster is in class).We were told she doesn't like men at first, but after an hour or so she was able to warm up. She gets a little squirrely at night when it is time for bed. It takes some calming down, but she gets there and sleeps through the night. *Travel - she is a dream in the car! Sits right down, curls up and doesn't move. No anxiety or yelping. *Food - the first day+ she wolfed down her food, but now she takes more time. She doesn't like dry dog treats, but she will eat doggie sausages, eggs and cheese. *Toys - we've given her a few, but she's not much of a chewer. She does like to play fetch in the yard, and she's really good about it. *Exercise - She's a very good walker with minimal pulling. We even took her out for a short run and she had no issues whatsoever. *Other dogs - It took me a little bit to understand that she likes to play rough with other dogs. We monitor and step in after 10 min or so to give them a break and before it gets too rough. They have worked through their curiosity and some dominance questions. They have to work out some of their energy in the morning, but then they give each other kisses and run to chase the squirrels together. They fetch (separately) well, and we make sure to feed them separately. She's really an amazing pup with a great personalityInterested in this pup? The first step is to fill out the adoption application on our website! We are currently scheduling adoption meet/greets by appointment. We are not currently hosting any public adoption events at Petco. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions! Our location is 1721 W Harmony unit 102 in Fort Collins Co 80526, we cannot guarantee we will always have available pups staying at our clinic! Most our rescues are in foster homes!.Breed and size disclosure: As a rescue all of our dogs come to us from high-kill shelters or other rescues, so we do not get a lot of background or information on these dogs. We occasionally receive the mother with the puppies, but in most cases both parents are unknown. Because of this we do not know the full breeding of the dogs. We are required to list the dogs based on the breeds provided to us on their records, but they are all mixed breeds as far as we know, and we cannot guarantee the actual breeds of any of these dogs. Since the full breeding of the dogs is unknown we can also only give you an educated guess on the full-grown size of the dogs. All of the current information we have on the dogs is listed in their bio above. More information may be available over email, since a lot of the fosters turn in report cards on how the dog has done in their care. Adoption Process: If you are interested in adopting from us, the first step of our adoption process is to fill out an application online at http://aaanimalrescue.org/adoption_app.html. It takes us up to 24-48 hours to process your application and get back to you, via email. Applications turned in Friday afternoon or Saturday morning will not be seen until the following Monday. We do have applications on site, but are not always able to approve them at that time and many of the dogs will already have holds on them, so we suggest you fill out an application prior to attending a meet/greet. We can place a hold on one dog per approved applicant after a deposit fee has been received, please do not ask to hold a dog if you have not turned in

　　an application and been approved. If you do not place a hold we cans till schedule a meet/greet, we just cannot guarantee availability of the dog, first serve basis. If you already have an approved application on file, there will just be more paperwork and the adoption fee at the meet/greet, but you will be able to take home the dog/puppy that day! Since we are foster based and not a shelter, our dogs are only available to meet with an appointment scheduled or at an adoption event!

　　If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lola, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
