Five-year-old Uli found herself homeless after her previous caretaker passed away.

BHB Adopt A Pet: Her Name is Lola, and She’s a Showgirl…
Snuggly Lola came from the same home that last month’s adoptable dog Bebe did: they were surrendered when their human was no longer able to take care of them.
