Lola was surrendered by a family who raise service dogs. They felt that Lola, being more independent, did not have the right temperament to be a service dog, so they asked RAGOM to rehome her.

I have found that she has a very pleasant disposition, but she is not the typical attention-loving Golden. While she likes to be near her humans, she would rather wrestle than snuggle. Since her play style can be a little overboard, she should not live with young children.

Lola loves to walk and has very good manners on a leash. She does have a strong interest in squirrels and rabbits, but I have been able to keep going easily with some gentle nudging.

She pretty much ignores other dogs on our walks and has not shown any interest to play with another dog. Additionally, she is not fond of small dogs who get in her face and has resource-guarded from a male dog. Therefore, she will be placed as an only dog.

It seems Lola has been well-trained as a house dog. She does not beg for food or counter-surf and is not destructive. She is totally house trained and was taught to ring a bell when she wanted to go out. She sleeps on or near my bed and sleeps quietly all night.  

Having a history of pancreatitis, Lola needs a family who will watch her diet carefully to avoid any fatty foods. She also has allergies which are kept under control with a daily Zyrtec tablet. A seizure has been observed since she came to my home; stay tuned for further information.

Lola is a nice dog who has adapted to my house easily. I think she would do best with a quiet environment, no young children, no other dogs, and someone willing to monitor her diet and give her lots of walking.
