Sonya's Story

FOSTERED IN: Oak Forest, IL<br/>ESTIMATED DOB: 2014<br/>WEIGHT: 10 pounds<br/>KIDS: Older<br/>DOGS: Yes<br/>CATS: Yes<br/><br/>HISTORY: <br/>Sonya was rescued from a shelter in Indiana<br/><br/>ABOUT:<br/><br/>Sonya is a 12-year-old brown Chihuahua mix with a gentle soul and the cutest frosted face. Weighing just under 10 pounds, this petite girl is calm, observant, and wonderfully low-key. She came to us on transport from Elkhart, IN and has settled beautifully into foster life, showing what a lovely little companion she truly is.<br/><br/>At home, Sonya is quiet, polite, and easy to live with. She’s house-trained as long as she’s taken out regularly (especially right after meals), walks nicely on a leash without pulling, and is excellent in the car. She has free roam of the house while her foster is away and spends most of her time relaxing in her dog bed. Sonya isn’t much of a toy lover, but she is VERY food motivated and enjoys soft food and treats—she’ll happily supervise meal prep like it’s her full-time job.<br/>Sonya does best in a calmer environment. She can be skittish at first, especially with women, but with patience and kindness she warms up and enjoys affection. She’s not clingy, yet she’ll quietly follow you from room to room, keeping tabs on her person. When it’s time to relax, she settles right in with you. She’s fine with cats and does well with small dogs, and would likely enjoy a home with older, respectful children only.<br/><br/>One of Sonya’s most charming traits is how she lights up in a fenced yard—she bounds around like a little deer, exploring and enjoying life with surprising energy for a senior gal. Because her eyesight isn’t perfect, she’ll need some extra care around stairs and in low light, but simple precautions (like gates and guidance) go a long way.<br/><br/>Sonya’s ideal home:<br/>• Quiet or moderately calm household<br/>• Experienced dog owner preferred<br/>• Older children only<br/>• Apartment, condo, or house-friendly<br/>• Someone who appreciates a gentle, loyal companion<br/>Sonya is quiet, adorable, curious, and such a lovely presence to have around. Give her a little time to trust, and she’ll reward you with companionship, gentle affection, and the joy of watching a senior dog truly thrive. 💕<br/><br/>More information and our adoption application can be found at www.luluslockerrescue.org.

We encourage potential adopters to ask friends, family, and Lulu’s Locker about companion animal experiences in their lives. We want to ensure the animal we adopt to you fits well in your home environment. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about long-term animal care prior to adopting!
