Adopt Lulu

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Meet Lulu ❤️ Lulu is a lovely 3-year-old Lhasa Apso cross with the sweetest nature. This little girl may be small in size, but she has a huge amount of love to give to the right family. Lulu can be a little nervous when faced with new situations or unfamiliar surroundings, so she is looking for a patient and understanding home that will allow her the time she needs to settle in and find her confidence. We feel Lulu would benefit greatly from living with another friendly dog, who can help show her the ropes and provide reassurance when she needs it. She has also previously lived with cats and has done well alongside them. When Lulu arrived with us, she was in quite poor condition. Thankfully, after some much-needed care and a trip to the groomers, she is now looking and smelling a million times better and is feeling much more comfortable in herself. Lulu is looking for a home with children aged 8 years and over, who can understand that she may need a little space and patience while she settles into family life. With kindness, consistency, and plenty of love, Lulu will blossom into a wonderful companion. She just needs a family willing to help her find her little paws and show her that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. 🐾❤️ If you think you could offer Lulu the loving home she deserves, we’d love to hear from you.

About Lulu

What life with Lulu looks like

Lulu is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇪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 Lulu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lulu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lulu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lulu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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 Lulu 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 Lulu 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lulu 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.
