Lola

Female · Young · 3 years

Lola is a very, very special girl who we have had the absolute joy of looking after these last couple of months. She came to us in an absolute state, in desperate need of TLC after being so badly let down by humans before coming here. Lola had 2 fractured hips that were left to heal on there own, so they inevitably did not heal correctly. Not only that, she was made to have puppies with 2 fractured hips. Once she’d had the puppies she was then discarded, in pain and incredibly underweight. We knew when she came to us that she had a long road to recovery ahead of her, but what we didn’t know was how amazingly she would handle her treatment! She has been nothing but perfect; she is truly one of a kind. Lola has had a double hip replacement, which has healed fantastically. She’s also put on a whopping 15kg since becoming a Sun Valley gal! We’ve had to be strict with Lola during her stay here, not allowing her to run and really keeping her calm while she recovered from her massive operation. She has taken everything in her stride, and has honestly been the most perfect patient. She’s had a pretty boring couple of months here while we make sure that her recovery is as seamless as possible, and she has handled everything like an absolute lady, she doesn’t whine, doesn’t complain, and has happily chilled out in her kennel keeping herself entertained while we had her on strict bed rest. This girl is truly perfect and honestly such a special dog. She’s recovered amazingly, and is now free to have a little run around in our yard, which she’s been LOVING! The new found bit of freedom has given her a new lease of life and she’s just been getting happier and lovelier by the day. Lola loves other dogs and can live with a calm dog that doesn’t want to race around with her and potentially damage her hip again. She can live with children and would make an absolutely amazing family pet. Lola was a very expensive little lady to rehabilitate, so if any of you lovely people have the means to donate towards her care we would be forever grateful.

About Lola

What life with Lola looks like

Lola is a young adult dog waiting at description in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lola, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lola?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. description handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lola on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lola if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — description will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lola already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lola isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with description early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lola and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
