Lola was surrendered on April 5, 2021, at 7 years of age as a euthanasia request due to resource-guarding issues. Lola sat in the shelter, curled up in a ball, unsure of her surroundings, for 88 days before she went to a foster home, where her personality could really shine. After coming back from foster, Lola blossomed and found her forever family after being in the shelter system for a total of 108 days.
