Energetic and Cuddly Lulu Is Looking for Her Forever Home. And Those Adorable Ears!

Energetic and Cuddly Lulu Is Looking for Her Forever Home. And Those Adorable Ears!

LULU JUST CELEBRATED her sixth birthday, and she's hoping this is the year she finds her forever home! The 47-pound mixed breed is available for adoption from Friends for Life in the Heights.


Not much is known of Lulu's past before she was rescued from the streets and brought to Friends for Life. And she can be slow to warm up to people. But once you're in, you're in! The loving pup is very expressive, so you always know what's on her mind, and, what's usually on her mind are toys — and, she knows the name of many of her toys!

She also knows how to touch, sit and shake hands. Plus, she's house- and crate-trained. Lulu would mesh well with an energetic family that loves runs but that also loves cuddles on the couch after!

"We had a sleepover trial with Lulu and she was sweet, playful, cuddly, and man those ears were cute!" said a potential adopter. "Our older dog decided that she wanted to be the only dog, so it didn't work out. If we didn't have a grumpy senior, she would have made an amazing running and park partner!"

Lovable Lulu is six years old and ready for you!

Cute-animal-video fans might recall that, in 2019, Friends for Life Animal Rescue went viral online for a video of one of its cats repeatedly letting other cats out of their cages! So they know something about adorable pets.

Spa-tacular Getaway Opportunity: Retreat to Mexico this Fall with a Houston Wellness Expert

Palmaïa The House of AïA

THIS SUMMER, LEBRINA Jackson, owner of Escape Spa in Cypress, is taking her wisdom and joie de wellness to the jungle. Far beyond the walls of her beautiful spa, she’s aiming to create a quiet space for people to work on their personal growth in a community-centric atmosphere. She shares what participants will get out of the trip and why it’s important to take time for self-care in 2025.

Why is it important for people to “retreat”? Life can feel like a non-stop marathon, and sometimes we forget to just... breathe. Retreating offers a chance to step off the treadmill for a bit and hit the reset button. It's about giving your body and mind some much-needed TLC, allowing for genuine relaxation and rejuvenation. Beyond the personal perks, retreats often create a cool sense of community, connecting you with others on a similar path. By carving out space for self-reflection, you can recharge and return to your daily life with a clearer head and a bit more pep in your step.
