Lulu is looking for a new home because her owner could not keep her and she has been living with another family for a while. Due to breed restrictions, her foster family can no longer keep Lulu, but she was definitey loved. This is what they had to say:
My name is Lulu and have been told that I'm a very special girl. I am a Mastiff/Terrier Mix, 3 year old, 66lbs, and spayed. I have been raised with 5 minature schnauzers and 1 cat. My daddy got really sick and can't come home for a long time. While he was gone, I stayed with another family, who were very nice, but they were told by management that I need to go and find a new family due to breed restrictions in the community. God gave me the wrong coat; I should have been a chihuahua. I love playing ball and dancing around. I play well with other dogs and people. I love to snuggle and have my tummy rubbed. I really hate to go but understand that some people have given us a bad name. I'm a lover, not a fighter; you'll only have to be careful of me licking you to death. I'm looking for a loving family where I can be accepted because of my size and breed.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Bullmastiff is a devoted, alert guard dog, with a good-natured temperament, though he tends to be willful. Docile unless provoked, he is fearless and protective, yet affectionate. Although unlikely to attack, it will catch an intruder, knock him down and hold him. At the same time, it is tolerant of children. Intelligent, even-tempered, calm and loyal. These dogs crave human attention. The Bullmastiff is an extremely powerful dog and needs a firm master. They should be thoroughly obedience trained for safety, and should be taught not to pull on the leash. Be sure to socialize extensively with both people and other dogs at an early age. Bullmastiffs can be aggressive with other dogs and are reserved with strangers. They may be okay with other pets if raised with them from puppyhood. The Bullmastiff is a more aggressive breed than the Mastiff. He tends to drool and snore. Puppies may seem uncoordinated. These dogs are very sensitive to the tone of your voice. It is not a difficult dog but does require a handler who can assert his authority. The Bullmastiff should never be banished to a kennel. This breed tends to drool and slobber. Bullmastiffs will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. It is relatively inactive indoors and a small yard will do. They can not tolerate extremes of temperatures. These dogs tend to be lazy so provide regular, moderate exercise. Be sure to exercise and not overfeed him, as he tends to put on weight. These dogs tend to bloat. It is a good idea to feed them two or three small meals a day instead of one large meal. The short-haired, slightly rough coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, and shampoo only when necessary. There is little shedding with this breed. Check the feet regularly because they carry a lot of weight, and trim the nails.
