Hello there… I’m Lulu — a tiny 8-lb Yorkshire Terrier mix with the sweetest heart I’m 8 years old, spayed, and friendly with absolutely everyone. I love being held, I love meeting new people, and I adore being close to someone who makes me feel safe. I looooove belly scratches. I do have diabetes, which means I need insulin every day and special food to stay healthy. But I feel great and show no signs of illness. I’m very easy about my routine — I just need someone compassionate and committed… the kind of person with a true Mother Theresa heart who can love and care for me for the rest of my life. Other than my daily insulin, I’m incredibly low-maintenance: cuddly, calm, cheerful, and always ready to give love. If you’re someone with a big heart — someone who can give a tiny girl like me the consistent care and forever love I’ve been waiting for — I’d be so grateful to call you mine. Much Love, Lulu.

Yorkshire Terrier

🧠 Temperament

Other than my daily insulin, I’m incredibly low-maintenance: cuddly, calm, cheerful, and always ready to give love. Confident and lively, with more terrier boldness than their size suggests.

🎾 Exercise

Low to moderate — short walks plus play.

✂️ Grooming

High if kept long; much easier in a short cut. Dental care matters.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Very apartment-friendly. Barking at hallway noise is the common complaint.
