“5-year-old blue-nose pit bull mix in Monmouth County awaits adoption match.”

Eatontown, NJ – A 5-year-old rescue dog named Lola is being spotlighted by a Monmouth County animal rescue as she continues to wait for adoption, with caregivers hoping new photos will help her finally find a permanent home.

Lola, identified as a blue-nose pit bull mix, is currently in foster care and has drawn attention from volunteers who say she has been repeatedly overlooked despite her temperament and training. The Animal Humane Society is now urging potential adopters to consider meeting her through its application process.

Rescue staff describe Lola as both affectionate and responsive to training, noting she has spent time working with fosters to improve obedience and social behavior.

Foster caregivers highlight training and temperament

According to the rescue group, Lola has developed strong foundational skills while in foster care. “Her fosters have been working hard on training and she loves learning new commands while polishing up the basics,” the organization said in its listing.

They describe her as a dog that prefers close human companionship. “She’s sweet, cuddly, and the kind of dog who just wants to be close to her people,” the group said.

Lola is also reported to be both crate trained and house trained, making her a candidate for a range of home environments.

Adoption process requires application for meet-and-greet

Because Lola is currently in foster care, prospective adopters must complete an application before scheduling a meeting. The rescue notes that she may do best as the only pet in the household.

“She may prefer to be the only pet in the home, but she has more than enough love to give her family,” the organization said.

Applicants can reference Lola by her listing ID, 14081, when applying through the rescue’s website.
