PTSD, TBI, PSYCHIATRIC
Meet the Lovely Lulu!!
Lulu is a 2 year old, 50lbs., spayed Pit Mix.
Lulu is smart, wants to please and a cuddle bug. She has learned to sit, wait, lay, come, and heals well on the leash. She does get nervous around large dogs but she has been working on this.
Lulu is doing great and loves to play with the foster family’s Morkie. Even though her charming front foot is a little deformed, it does not stop or slow her down in any way.
Lulu is being fostered by a loving family, who rescued Lulu to be their Service Dog. The family requests that Lulu goes to a handler who can provide Lulu with more exercise and motivation.
Lulu would be suited for a handler older than 7 years of age (regardless of gender), who would be able to exercise him regularly. For example, 15-20 minutes of activity, such as aerobics, or jogging daily. Spending a good part of the day on their feet.

We do not transport dogs as there are numerous dogs across the country that need a forever home and have the potential to be a Service Dog. Our dogs have been assessed as potential Service Dogs but have not been trained yet. That training occurs when paired with their handler. This enhances the bond between dog and owner.
