Hi, I’m Lola – your best friend in the making! I may be little, but my name carries a lot of meaning. I was rescued on ANZAC Day after being abandoned in the bush with my siblings. We were too young to survive on our own, but thanks to some kind campers and Off The Chain K9 Rescue Qld, we were saved just in time.

Because of the day we were rescued, I am named in honour of a true lifesaver—Lola, a rescue dog who became a Defence Community Assistance Dog. She was trained by inmates as part of a rehabilitation program, and went on to support a Navy Veteran living with PTSD. Her gentle, loyal presence helped him through his darkest days—and he says she genuinely saved his life. I’m proud to carry her name and hope I can bring just as much joy and comfort to someone of my own.

Now, I’m living in a warm and loving foster home, getting ready for my next adventure: finding my forever family.

I’m an energetic little pup with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. I love to play, explore, and keep busy—and I’d absolutely thrive in a home with another friendly dog who can be my partner in fun and show me the ropes! I currently live with other dogs who I get along well with, and at night I sleep in a crate. I can be a bit anxious if left alone in the crate at night, but that is something that we can work on together.

Right now, I’m in my teenage phase, which means I’m full of energy, curiosity, and yes—a little bit cheeky! I love to chew (it helps me learn and soothe my growing teeth), and I’m constantly looking for things to investigate or play with. I’m smart, so I need a home that will keep me mentally stimulated with toys, training games, and regular enrichment. I’ll do best with someone who understands that puppies need time, patience, and positive guidance to become their best selves.

The vet believes I’m partially deaf—I can hear higher-pitched and louder sounds, but I don’t always respond to quieter noises. The good news is, this doesn’t slow me down at all! Dogs naturally rely on their eyes and noses more than their ears, and I’m a great visual learner. You can help me thrive by using hand signals, routine, and positive reinforcement. There are even vibrating collars (not shock collars!) that can be used kindly to get my attention if needed. With clear, consistent communication, I’ll learn just as quickly as any other pup—maybe faster, since I love food and praise!

I’m working hard on my toilet training, learning all about inside-outside life, and basic commands. I’d love a home with space to run, a secure yard, and a family who’ll include me in their daily adventures. I’m still young, so having someone to help guide me as I grow would be perfect.

If you’re looking for a smart, sweet pup who’s ready to learn and love with all her heart—I’d love to meet you. 💛

My perfect home looks like…
🐾 A playful, confident doggy sibling to keep me company and show me the ropes
🐾 A secure backyard where I can stretch my legs, explore, and burn off energy
🐾 A family who understands puppyhood—chewing, zoomies, and all!
🐾 Someone who will keep my clever brain busy with training, enrichment, and fun challenges
🐾 A calm, consistent routine with visual cues and hand signals to help me thrive with my partial hearing
🐾 Lots of love, patience, and positive vibes while I grow into the amazing dog I’m meant to be 💛

If you're looking for a sweet, smart girl with loads of potential and a big heart, I’d love to meet you!
