Meet Lolo, {aka Scully}the epitome of a polite and well-mannered companion. A gold-star student when it comes to obedience, Lolo is fully house-broken, walks beautifully on a leash, and has mastered the art of sitting for treats. While she prefers her freedom over a crate, she is a remarkably "chill" girl who can be trusted to lounge respectfully on her bed. Lolo is a bit of a wallflower initially-taking a day or two to warm up to new faces-but once she trusts you, she'll steal your heart with her gentle spirit. She values her personal space and likes affection on her own terms; however, once she settles in for a neck scratch or a back rub, she's known to practically fall asleep in pure bliss. Whether she's enjoying a quiet nap or showing off her silly side with backyard zoomies, Lolo is the perfect match for someone looking for a loyal, low-maintenance best friend.
