Lola 3

Who could resist Staffie Lola’s incredible Dumbo ears!? This one-year-old is an excitable but friendly dog who needs help with some basic training. She was rescued by the RSPCA as her owners could not properly feed her. She’s always on the go and is quite bouncy so would be best in an adult-only home with no other pets. She’s at Macclesfield, South East Cheshire & Buxton branch. Call 01246 273358 for more details.

Lola 2

Caucasian shepherd Lola is a little bigger than her Staffie friend! This gentle giant is two and is at Millbrook Animal Centre, in Surrey. She was found as a stray and can be quite aloof but has strong bonds with those she gets to know. She fun-loving and loves to play. She’d like to be the only dog in her new home and would benefit from further socialisation around dogs and people. For more information please call 0300 123 0740.

Lola

Lovely Lola is a two-year-old Staffie who is full of beans. She’s a friendly pooch who loves spending time with people but is sadly being overlooked by potential adopters. She’s looking for an adult-only home with an owner who will take her for lots of long walks and keep her physically and mentally stimulated. She’s at Chesterfield Animal Centre, in Derbyshire, and you can find out more by calling 01246 273358.
