Lola

Female · Adult · 5 years

Please be introduced to our Lady, Lola! She has had a difficult start in life, but you would never know it from this fun loving girlie, with a friendly and excitable personality. Whilst Lola does find having a fuss and running around exciting, she is looking for a patient and understanding home where her adopters can offer plenty of reassurance to allow her to settle in at her own pace. Lola enjoys her walks, taking in her surroundings at her own easy pace. She would really love a private garden, which would not only support her ongoing housetraining, but also provide a wonderful place for her to bond with her new family. She knows some basic commands and would benefit from continued positive training to help her grow her confidence. When it comes to other dogs, Lola can be a little unsure and has preferred to be independent of them, however, she can walk alongside them and this has helped her confidence when the other dog is calm and relaxed. Lola does have some medical that will need to be discussed with potential adopters prior to taking her home. With plenty of love, fuss, patience and understanding, Lola is a dog that is sure to steal your heart and become a loyal and wonderful companion to have around. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Lola, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Lola

What life with Lola looks like

Lola is a small adult dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

An 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. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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 — Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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 Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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.
