Meet Lulu! Lulu is a beautiful, smart, sweet, curious, affectionate, and confident pit bull. We estimate she was born around the beginning of 2014 and she weighs about 55 pounds. Lulu was originally rescued over a year ago from a life in squalor by an eastern Washington rescue. After she had been in their care for over a year without finding her forever home, they asked Forgotten Dogs if we could help. After hearing about Lulu and meeting her ourselves, we could see she was an absolutely wonderful dog and likely wouldn’t have a problem finding a home in the much more pitbull-friendly Seattle area. She has been with our rescue since April and is doing very well, and she’s ready to finally find her forever home!

Lulu loves to sit close and put a paw on your foot as you pet her, or she will put her head in your lap to remind you that she is cute and deserves some attention. If you sit on the floor with her, she will flop down in your lap for her scratches. Lulu makes an adorable piggy sound when she’s happy or excited. She is very calm and focused – she doesn’t seem to mind when her doggie foster brother repeatedly smacks her in the face with his tail. Lulu will always sit when it’s time to put the harness on to go for a walk.

Lulu is very smart and eager to please, which makes training with her a breeze! She knows sit, down, stay, bed, leave it, and heel, and will surely learn anything you try to teach her! Being so smart, Lulu will also try to push boundaries at times (she's also a bit strong willed!) to see what she can get away with, so being firm and consistent is important with her. If she thinks she can get away with something, she'll try it a few times, but is extremely quick to learn what is and is not allowed.

She has lived with other dogs of all sizes in past foster homes and has gotten along well with them. Lulu can get a bit excited and overwhelming when she starts playing with other dogs sometimes, so she needs to be managed when playing with another dog. She does very well with mellow dogs (if they don't engage in play she just ignores them), and Lulu and her foster brother snuggle on a single dog bed regularly, though there are two beds to choose from. She is non-reactive when seeing other dogs out in public and when on walks. In fact, Lulu is pretty much the perfect dog out in public places! Lulu would do best in a home without cats or other small non-canine animals.

Lulu is wonderful with people and has never met a person she doesn't love. She is good with kids, although might knock little ones over by accident.

One of the main reasons Lulu didn’t find a home with her original rescue is that she has a reputation for being a 6-foot fence jumper, even when her people are standing right there. If she goes to a home with a fenced yard, she will need to be on a tether (leash or tie-out that is well secured) when she is outside, under supervision of course. She would also be fine going to a home without a yard, provided she gets daily on-leash exercise. She does well with one walk a day but would also likely be a good running buddy.

Are you looking for a sweet, lovable, and affectionate dog to add to your family? Lulu could be for you!
