Featured Happy Ending: Lola

We adopted Lola on January 9, 2010 after searching through many pictures of pit bulls on Petfinder.com. She immediately stuck out to me even before I ever met her in person. We knew we wanted a Pit Bull because we had previously rescued an American Staffordshire Terrier who we had to put down due to renal failure a week prior to getting Lola. She was just like our child to us and we were completely devastated by her loss. Our home was so empty and very lonely without our "baby" around. The day after we lost her I started looking for a pit bull on line and found Lola's cute picture that melted my heart. I contemplated getting a dog so quick after just losing one so I went back and forth with getting in touch with Carolina Care Bullies to meet Lola. A few days later I emailed CCB and they had told me that Lola was scheduled for a potential adoption the following morning. I was so upset because I KNEW she was the pit I wanted to bring into our family. The next day I got an email from Amanda from CCB saying Lola's adoption did not go through and asked if they could bring her to my house. I was ecstatic and immediately said yes. They drove about and hour and a half for us to meet Lola and we fell in love with her as soon as she came through our door. Her personality was exactly what we were looking for....Happy (hence her given name), loving, sweet, playful and most of all loves other dogs/cats and more so, people.

The very night we got Lola she slept with us as if she had done it every night before. She adjusted so well and it was as if she belonged here. This took every doubt about getting a dog so quick out of my mind. She had not only filled a void for us but we wanted to show her off. We enrolled Lola in training and she excelled at it. She loved being around all the other dogs and people to show off her skills. On her walks everyday she has even made such an impression on the kids in the neighborhood that they come over just to play with her. She just loves the attention.

Not to keep bragging on what an exceptional Pit Bull she is but we had even played with getting another dog for her to play with because she loved visiting my friend's dogs. About 4 months ago we took in a Dobermen/lab mix who had been abandoned on the side of the road. She is about the same age as Lola and, of course, Lola has taken to her so much we decided to keep her. So much so, that when Chloe (the new dog) had her spay surgery, Lola laid by her crate for the entire 7 days we had to keep them seperated. They get along great and are sad when the other is away.

Carolina Care Bullies gave me Lola at a time I needed her most and it was almost like she knew what I needed. Lola has truly blessed our lives with happiness and we cannot imagine life without her. If everyone who is afraid or just thinks Pit Bulls are evil dogs would meet Lola they would change their minds and want a Pittie! They are the most loyal, loving, kind hearted and misunderstood breed.

Thank you Carolina Care Bullies, Amanda and Terry for binging Lola into our lives and letting us share how much she means to us. You guys do a GREAT job for this breed and I cannot thank you enough.
