She is described as an independent but affectionate dog once trust is established.

A spokeswoman for Dogs Trust said: "Lovable seven-year-old Lola Bear, a Sharpei cross Chow Chow, is looking for understanding adopters, who could take the time to get to know her as this amazing girl is worth the wait.

"While she’s an independent-natured girl, once you’ve earned her trust, Lola Bear will make for a loyal and loving companion, who’ll become increasingly affectionate and enjoy gentle fusses or bum scratches.

"A sensitive pooch at times, Lola Bear is seeking a family, who lead a quieter, yet active lifestyle.

"Her ideal home setup would be somewhere calm and peaceful, where she can settle in at her own pace and enjoy a zoom about in the garden.

"If you are looking for a sweet, independent but loving girl, Lola is the right girl for you."

Lola Bear would suit a quiet but active household and needs to be the only pet.

She can live with older, dog-savvy secondary school-aged children.

She has been building confidence around other dogs but still finds close encounters overwhelming.

A secure and private garden would benefit her and adopters will need to avoid busy walking areas as she must wear a muzzle in public.

Lola Bear enjoys time outdoors and would love a home where she can feel safe, explore and build a bond at her own pace.
