Adopt Lola

Female · Puppy · 6 months

Meet Lola!Lola is a sweet natured, young retriever who was admitted into our care after her owner sadly passed away, she is now ready to find herself a new home. Lola is full of love, mischief and has a big personality with plenty of enthusiasm for life! She is a social girl and loves to greet everyone on her walks and enjoys being around people, getting cuddles and plenty of belly rubs! Lola loves playing with toys - she would have you playing with her all day if she could! She would love a home that could match her energy and would be best suited in a home with an active family who are able to bring her on all types of adventures! Lola enjoys meeting other dogs and may be able to live with a similar sized dog in her new home with successful introductions at our centre. It is unknown how she would react around cats in the home. Due to her energetic nature, Lola could live with children who are used to boisterous dogs, she would also need a home with a secure outdoor garden area where she can spend her days playing with her favourite humans or chasing and running around with her favourite toys! Lola is still very much a puppy and is still learning the basics, so she will require a family who are around for most of the day in order to provide her with continued support with her toilet training and socialisation.

About Lola

What life with Lola looks like

Lola is a large puppy/kitten dog waiting at USPCA.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

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. USPCA 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 — USPCA 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. 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 USPCA 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.
