Lula Mae’s Hug!
Rescue Story: After losing our dog of 18 years and grieving, we opened our hearts to a rescue that needed a loving home & saw a picture of Lula on the Nextdoor neighborhood app in March. A young couple was fostering her in hopes of finding her a forever home. She had been at Lifeline in Fulton County since January with no interest from potential fosters. When she arrived at Lifeline she was skin and bones with very little hair. She was lactating & had obviously had a recent litter of puppies; but Lifeline was never able to locate the puppies. Eventually Lula was moved to the Lifeline Avondale Estates location where there are fewer animals & where she could get more attention. Her foster parents took good care of her and publicized her availability. We met her & fell in love. When I received her paperwork from Lifeline I learned that she was picked up brought to Lifeline on January 27th - my birthday! (Steve’s) Even though it was March when she came to us, she was the best birthday gift ever.
From her foster parents.
What is your favorite pastime as a family? Long walks in Piedmont Park to meet new friends & relaxing time in the lounger by the backyard pool.
What is life like since you rescued Lula Mae? Best word is “joyful”!
Photographers Note: Lula Mae is one of those dogs that your heart just melts when you meet her. She is so quiet and even a little stoic but those dark soulful eyes just draw you in. All she wants to do is be close to you. They are not kidding that she is a hugger. This is not a dog jumping up on someone and their parents say “Oh she wants to give you a hug” This sweet girl literally wraps her arms around your waist and squeezes. When she hugged me, she just stared up into my face with a sweet quiet expression, as if to say” Hello new friend”. She was known for this at the shelter and the employees would line up to get a hug from Lula Mae when she would visit. She will forever be known to me as the #huggingpibble. This sweet girl hit the jackpot on her forever home with Steve & David, & they with her.
