MEET LALA –

Little Lala is a petite 6 year old female chihuahua mix. She is a playful girl, full of personality She LOVES to play fetch despite her diagnosis of intervertebral disc disease (IVDD).

Her spinal condition has led to full incontinence, requiring her to wear a diaper.  She is currently on pain medication because she has exhibited signs of pain in her back legs (related to IVDD).

Lala joined our rescue in April 2021.  She is pending a medical evaluation with our vet to see how we can help minimize her IVDD pain. It’s likely we will move forward with regular laser therapy and acupuncture.

Lala’s adopter will need to have the means to manage her ongoing medical needs to help her remain pain-free as well as patience to help with Lala’s incontinence.

Lala’s special needs make her extra special.  She makes it easy to love her! She is good with other dogs but can be a bit bossy when it comes to play time. She can be a bit feisty with cats and would do best in a home without small children (because of her spinal condition, she will need dog savvy children that are gentle and patient with her). Lala is very passionate about playing fetch which means she can be a bit, ahem, intense if another dog in the house also has the same passion. ?

Characteristics:  playful, spunky and very vocal
