Lulu LaRue may be tiny, but she has enough confidence and personality to fill an entire room. She adores people, happily introduces herself to everyone and carries herself like a girl who knows she is absolutely adorable. If Lulu were a person, she would definitely make the first move and ask you out on a date. Go watch Lulu LaRue on YouTube to see her adorable sit-and-beg routine, happy little dance and the tiny halo marking that has us convinced she may actually be an angel. Lulu is estimated to be about 11 months old and may be a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix, though breed and age are always our best guess with rescue dogs. She has the cutest little circle on her forehead that looks like the shadow of a halo, which feels very fitting for such a special girl. She is confident, spunky and incredibly loving. Lulu enjoys being picked up and carried, happily soaks up attention and has no trouble making herself comfortable with new people. She loves treats, takes them with a wonderfully soft mouth and will happily show off her little sit-and-beg pose or dance for a snack. Lulu is also wonderful with other dogs. She has met both large and small dogs and greeted everyone with easy confidence. She especially enjoyed playing with one of our assessment dogs and followed him around like they had been friends for years. Lulu could happily live with another playful dog, but she is secure enough that she does not need a canine companion to feel complete. She met our house cat, Biggie, and was mostly uninterested in him. She simply ignored him and went about her business, so she may be able to live with a calm, dog-savvy cat after thoughtful introductions. Lulu has a nice, medium energy level, walks nicely on leash and settles comfortably in new environments. She is not particularly barky, handles stress well and recovers quickly when something surprises her. She also walks into a kennel easily and was perfectly content surrounded by new friends and attention the first time we met her. Lulu LaRue is a tiny angel with a confident heart, a loving personality and the perfect amount of sparkle and pizazz! She could be happy as a solo dog soaking up all your attention or as part of a home with other dogs. Either way, she is ready to make the first move—all you have to do is apply.
