Lobelia's Story

Lobelia is smart and already knows the command ‘sit,’ showing she’s ready to learn more with her new family. This 45lb, playful girl dog loves engaging in games—she’s happy to trade toys for treats or other toys and will allow you to take toys from her without hesitation! Lobelia has shown herself to be a lover of pets and scratches, readily soaking up pets from her caretakers at the shelter. While she may hesitate slightly with new people, she quickly warms up, showcasing her trusting, affectionate side. Though shelter life can make her a bit skittish or excitable at times, Lobelia’s gentle and kind nature shines through. She is looking for a patient family who will help her build confidence and grow into the trusting and loving companion she longs to be. Could Lobelia be the missing piece to your family? Come meet this lovely pup and see for yourself!<br/><br/>This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!<br/><br/>Be sure to check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton).

You may also view available pets online in advance, on our 24PetConnect page.
