Lupe

Lupe is an approximately 9-10 yr old Staffordshire Terrier with a heart of gold and a personality that still feels young and joyful. Her exact birthday is unknown, but her “gotcha day” with her current owners was January 5th, 2019 and that’s the day they use as her birthday. When her loving family brought her home from the shelter, the staff estimated her to be 2-3 yrs old, which puts her at 9-10 yrs old today. Lupe is deeply loved by her current family, who have gone above and beyond to keep her through extremely difficult life circumstances. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the time has come where finding Lupe a new home is the most loving and responsible decision for her. This selfless decision has not been made lightly, and her family hopes to find a home that will love her just as much as they do. We are honored to help them in their search. Lupe is the definition of a people-loving companion. She adores men, women, and children and gets very excited to meet new people. She will likely greet you with a happy jump and lots of enthusiasm, which means she could accidentally knock over small kiddos or someone unsteady on their feet, just know it’s all love and excitement from this sweet girl! Lupe is: • Great with other dogs and cats • Zero aggression of any kind (including food) • Very food-motivated, but gentle; you can even take a bone from her without issue • Potty trained and also comfortable using pee pads • Spayed and healthy, with no known medical issues • Not a big barker • Low shedding Lupe is a pretty low-maintenance gal. She’s not much for toys, but she absolutely loves sleeping on her bed or cuddling up on the couch with her people. Her favorite thing in the world is simply being near the humans she loves. Even though she’s technically a senior, Lupe still has a youthful spirit and plenty of love to give. One thing she doesn't love are thunderstorms, which can scare her. And now for Lupe’s most famous feature… She has the most adorable marking on her backside that looks exactly like an elephant head, with her tail forming the trunk spraying water! (You’ll have to see the photo to believe it!) If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, people oriented dog who just wants to share the couch and your heart, Lupe might be the perfect match. Please note: Lupè is not currently in rescue. We are courtesy posting for her Foster to help her find the perfect home.
