Lulu arrived for rehoming on 17 July 2025. She is a 4 years 9-month-old (at time of arrival) girl.

 

Lulu was briefly with us in May, and was adopted, but the adoption did not work out and she has come back to us.

 

The sort of home for Lulu

 

• No cats or dogs in the home

• No children under the age of 12 years

• Access to her own private and secure garden (not shared or communal)

• Not left for more than 4 hours a day

• A confident and experienced owner

 

Handling

A very friendly, sweet and intelligent dog, a little nervous of new people at the very start, but this seems mainly to be about the start of walks, and this passes very quickly.

 

She loves human interaction including play, training and cuddles on the sofa. A bit unsure when harnesses go on, but no aggression or anything like that.

 

Walking

All of our walks with Lulu have been uneventful, including her period of time with us briefly in May. She has ignored all dogs, and indeed with her original owner was walked for miles every day. She also regularly attended dog shows, including our own two years ago where she won a class prize, and she also lived briefly with another dog. But the last person who had Lulu for a few weeks found her reactive on walks.

​

Loves to have a good snuffle in the grass. Happy to do her toilet business out on walks. Nice loose lead most of the time.

​

Dogs she has seen she has ignored, including one that was barking at her. Please also see information below from original owner about how she needs time to meet new dogs, and not just the usual bum sniff.

 

Play

Loves to play, particularly with balls and she has a favourite that she came in with.

 

Health

Appears in very good health. She is fully vaccinated and microchipped, and will see our vet for a general check-up during week commencing 21 July 2025.

 

Dog adoption contribution for Lulu is £250.00.

​

If you adopt a dog from Happy Staffie Rescue you could be entitled to five weeks free pet insurance through Agria (terms and conditions apply)

• Never been destructive in the home.

• Is socialised to meet other dogs, but does not like stranger dogs right in her face, or sniffing her bum. Dogs she gets to know (e.g. walking alongside on walks) she is very good with, and she used to regularly go for walks with other dogs she knew.

• Never bitten a dog, but she may have nipped a dog before, when it came too close to her having not been allowed to get to know it properly first.

• Will chase squirrels, birds, cats.

• Loves walks, can go 2-7 miles each time quite happily.

• Not travel sick. Good passenger. Longest journeys around 3-4 hours with breaks. Normally just goes to sleep.
