Description:

Meet Lolita! She is a two year old, SHOW STOPPING , Blonde Belgian Malinois!

This girl has looks, drive and intelligence. She is great with kids and dogs. She LOVES her humans and wants nothing more in this world than to please her humans. She also LOVES car rides.

Her family works long hours and she would remain crated for such a long time that they felt a home with a more active family would be a good fit!

Here is a bit of information on Lolita's breed from DogBreedInfo.com. If you are not familiar with the breed, please read this when considering Lolita. Malinois are a very special breed with very specific requirements for their homes:

The Belgian Malinois is high energy, with a high mental capacity, and is quick to comprehend. It needs a job to do, especially if you are dealing with working lines. A very bright and obedient dog, it is determined and observant with strong protective and territorial instincts. The Belgian Malinois needs an experienced owner who displays a confident, natural authority . Consistent rules must be set and made clear. They are ever watchful, alert and loyal. This breed needs to be part of the family and not locked up in a kennel. They need leadership, daily exercise along with training and companionship, for without it they may become destructive and hard to handle. Take care when introducing this dog with small non-canine pets . It can be rather dominant toward other dogs and need an owner who can communicate to the dog that dominance is an unwanted behavior. The Belgian Malinois may instinctively display herding behavior such as chasing and circling, moving effortlessly for hours and nipping at people's heels. They must be taught not to do this to people.

UPDATE FROM LOLA'S ADOPTERS 2/18/14:

I am happy to report that Lola is doing Awesome! She has been a wonderful addition to our family and has fit right in. She is so LOVED! She is doing extremely well. Lola has gained weight and her ribs no longer stick out. She now gets along with our other dog Rugby and they enjoy spending time with each other. Lola rarely gets crated during the day and is thriving with us. She is a total love bug and loves to play and enjoys her time watching after the kids and keeping my husband and I company. She enjoys being read to by our older girls and likes to play fun games of keep away with our son. There is never a dull moment at our house...it is go go go! Lola seems to be extremely comfortable here and knows we are her people. Thanks for trusting us with this wonderful dog. She is wonderful!
