She is not good with other animals. She will need a very sturdy fence and should be supervised in the yard if other animals are around. She does need leash work because she is very strong and pulls hard. Lola has a torn ACL from an old injury and has arthritis because of it. She will probably need to stay on meds and could need surgery later down the road. Lola is spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped.
