Lulu is a most fetching girl who when she sees you coming toward her kennel will greet you with a
warm hug around the waist and will dance with excitement at the prospect of going for a walk with
one of her biggest fans. Once outside, Lulu holds her head high and walks with a most dignified
gait. Lulu likes to meet new people and will stop to oblige admiring passersby along
the way. She appears interested in meeting other dogs her size and does well, but there
is no doubting a prey drive, as evidenced by her reaction to sighting small dogs..
Consequently, Lulu should not be in a home with small dogs or cats and should never ever be off-leash in public places.
This pooch takes correction well, like a good pittie and has been a regular student in BadRap training classes
(leash work, socialization etc). Come meet this pretty girl blue, and see whether she is the right fit for you.
Here's her story from the Berkeley Animal Shelter:
I first saw Lulu late one Sunday afternoon driving home from the shelter. She was running
through traffic on Dwight, just off San Pablo.. Another car and I followed her and tried to catch her, but she
kept running. It took almost all day but eventually we caught up w/her
Her feet were bruised and her legs had some scabs, but she was otherwise in good health.
We gave her a kennel with afternoon sun, some food, a Kuranda, and a blanket. She leaned
up closely against Karen who went to sit with her in the kennel, as though breathing a sigh of relief and gratitude.
I love Lulu for her independent streak, for her utter confidence, for her willingness
to make herself just a little bit vulnerable when I hold her and give her hugs.
Eliciting a kiss from Lulu is not easy, and when she bestows one on my cheek, I
feel very fortunate, as though I have passed the test of being trustworthy and
allowing her to have her dignity. Over time, she has come to respect me, too.
She no longer pulls me down the park pathways, but responds to my lead instead.
We have taught each other much these past four months-- she has helped me to become a better, more patient
handler, and I have let her know that the world can be a good place, where people will love you and treat
you well, show you tenderness and keep you safe.
