Meet Lulu

A REALLY SPECIAL BLIND PUP:  Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 12 lbs.  Hi, my name is Lulu!  I came  to Mostly Mutts in need of a good home, and I just KNOW the right family is out there for me.  I’ve been a super houseguest in my foster home, and I look forward to having a loving home of my very own.  I don’t have eyes, but my resilience and adaptability have been remarkable in my foster home. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  There are several dogs in my foster home, and I get along with them.  I simply let them sniff me and then we just chill together.  I don’t play with them, but my foster thinks I would in time, so if you have a dog that would be nice to me, let’s meet. / I ignore the dog-friendly kitties in my foster home, and don’t really seem to notice that they are right in the middle of the doggie pack, so I think I’d do well with a nice kitty in my new home. / There are silly 6-year-olds in my foster home, and their activity doesn’t bother me at all – they are kind to me, and I like them.  I’m also friendly with the teenagers in the home and their friends, too.  So if you have kids old enough to know how to treat a blind dog and that will help keep me safe, let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me or kids that may leave a door or gate open since I can’t see.    • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  My foster describes me as a super sweet little lap dog.  ‘A total sweetheart’, I’ve been a quiet and calm girl who – though blind – has easily adjusted to the physical environment in my foster home.  I’ll even jump up on the sofa – with no eyes!  The Mostly Mutts photography team said I was ‘precious and amazing’ during my photo shoot – confidently checking everything out without any timidness due to my blindness.  I’m a well-adjusted and chill gal looking for my furever lap. I do need a family that will dog-proof their home to keep me safe from falling down the stairs, etc. / My energy level is about 2-3 currently.  My foster thinks I’d like to play, but it’s a little hard since I don’t see.  Perhaps in time once I am settled in my new home, I will be a little more playful.     • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I don’t know any specific commands, but if you are looking for an expert lap cuddler – I’m your girl! / I’m not crated in my foster home, as my foster says it is not necessary.  I sleep on the main level of the home / downstairs on the sofa (to mitigate the danger of stairs) at nighttime. / My potty habits have been great in my foster home on a good take-out schedule. I head straight to the grass to do my business each time I go outside.  Hopefully my potty habits will be just as great in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: Let’s face it – I am a lap dog, so my favorite place is on your lap where I will be happiest. I have a wonderful laid-back demeanor and just love hanging out with my people. / I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and good care. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I have a bit of arthritis in my hips so I’m on an over-the-counter COSEQUIN tablet to help.  I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. I am looking for a loving home where I’ll be loved and well cared for and a family that will keep me safe since I cannot see!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
