ADOPTED
If you’re looking for a loyal shadow who adores being close to her people, Lulu is your girl. This sweet, affectionate bulldog is all about comfort: warm baths, soft blankets, and snuggling right up next to you is her idea of a perfect day.

Lulu walks nicely on leash and loves exploring at a gentle pace, but her heart truly belongs wherever you are. She does have some separation anxiety, so she’ll thrive in a home where someone is around often and happy to keep her company.

She’s very food motivated (bulldog priorities), and while she takes treats with enthusiasm, she can get a little overexcited about snacks. Because of that, she’d do best in a home with kids over 5 who understand how to give treats safely. She’s currently on a sensitive‑skin diet due to allergies — pretty common for the breed — and she’s doing great on it.

And we can’t forget her signature feature: Lulu has the most adorable underbite you’ve ever seen. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her sweet, slightly goofy smile.

Lulu is ready for a home that loves cuddles, calm days, and constant companionship. If you’ve got room on your couch and in your heart, she’ll fill both beautifully.

Approximate Birth Date - 11/11/2021

House Training - Lulu hasn't been with us for very long and given how stressed she's been in the kennel, It's hard to truly say if she's house broken or not.

Other dogs - Lulu has been dog tested here at our facility and has done lovely with other dogs so far.

Adopt Batman!
Giant Schnauzer
6 months
50 lbs
Fence preferred but not required
Read entire bio before applying!!

This happy, high-spirited pup is full of life and ready to find his forever home! Batman was recently diagnosed with a minor Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)—a congenital heart condition caused by a small hole between the left and right ventricles of the heart. While this condition is not operable, the great news is that Batman is currently showing no signs of irregular heart function, and no treatment is needed at this time. He’ll just need regular check-ups with a vet to monitor his heart, in case medication becomes necessary down the road.

But don’t think for a second that this slows him down! Batman is a joyful bundle of energy and one of the happiest pups you’ll ever meet. Like most Giant Schnauzers, he’s full of drive and enthusiasm, and he’ll need an adopter who can keep up with his active lifestyle. Daily exercise is a must for this working breed, and Batman will thrive with someone who can keep him both physically and mentally engaged.

He’s already got a great head start on his training—he walks beautifully on a leash, is housebroken, and sleeps quietly in his crate through the night. He’s still working on polishing up his manners, but he’s incredibly smart and highly food-motivated, so training comes easily to him.
Batman gets along wonderfully with other dogs, big and small. However, due to his size and energy level, he may be a bit too much for small children or elderly dogs who prefer a calmer pace.

If you think Batman could be the perfect addition to your home, apply today at www.freedomtailsohio.com. With this handsome pup by your side, you’ll be the talk of the neighborhood! 🐾💙
