About Lola (Bull Terrier) in Albuquerque, NM 87121

Lola is waiting for you at Albuquerque Animal Services - Westside in Albuquerque, NM 87121. Lola is an 8-year-old spayed Pit Bull mix who has perfected the role of loyal sidekick. If you’ve been hoping for a devoted companion, consider this her formal application—Lola is ready for the job. She’s a sweet, gentle “Velcro dog” who likes to stay close, happily strolling right beside you as if she’s attached by invisible glue.On walks, she’s a dream: calm, steady, and well-mannered on leash. She already knows “sit,” is highly treat-motivated, and accepts snacks with the politeness of a true lady. At this stage in life, Lola has left the puppy chaos behind and is focused on what matters most—comfort, companionship, and a loving home to call her own.While the shelter environment can feel overwhelming for her, Lola truly shines once she’s outside and with her people. She’s easy going, affectionate, and happiest just being near you. She can be a little shy around some men at first, so gentle, unhurried introductions help her feel safe and build trust at her own pace.Lola’s previous family surrendered her only due to a move out of state and had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She’s housebroken, crate trained, rides well in the car, and has lived successfully with adults and children. She’s not destructive, doesn’t try to escape, and settles nicely into home routines—she’s clearly ready to step right back into family life.When it comes to other dogs, Lola can be a bit selective, so a meet-and-greet is recommended if you already have a canine companion to make sure everyone is a good match.If your idea of happiness is a calm, affectionate best friend who sticks by your side, appreciates good snacks, and believes every couch is better when shared, Lola is ready to make herself at home—right next to you.Medical notes:Geriatric:Lola is considered a geriatric pet.
