Lola and her companion Stella are looking for a new home because there mommy could not afford to keep them any more. They were loved and are sweet wonderful little girls. Below is what the owner said about them:

Lola is a white peke who was born Oct 2003.  She is house trained (will use a peepee pad outside).  Crate trained as well.   She is good will children and other dogs.  She has never been around cats so I don't know how she would be with them.  She Loves to sleep on your lap.  She eats Iams pro active small bites.   She loves to have a treat now and then.

We would really like Stella and Lola to be adopted together, they are really a bonded pair. Stella in particular, who is a bit shy, looks to Lola to make sure everything is ok.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, Pekingese where regarded as manifestation of the legendary Foo Dog that drove away spirits. They were venerated as semi-divine by the Chinese. Commoners had to bow to them; you were punished by death if you stole one, and when an emperor died, his Pekingese were sacrificed so that they could go with him to give protection in the afterlife. In 1860 the Pekingese reached the West. British and French troops over ran the Summer Palace during the Second Opium War. Imperial Guards were ordered to kill the little dogs to prevent them from falling into the hands of the "foreign devils," but five Pekingese survived and were taken to Queen Victoria, who named it appropriately, "Looty." It is from these canine spoils of war that the modern Pekingese is descended. Pekingese are very brave little dogs, courageous to the point of foolhardiness! They are sensitive, independent and extremely affectionate with their master, but are wary of strangers. They are obstinate, self-willed and may be difficult to feed and are sometimes known to refuse to eat as much to show dominance over its owner as to lack of appetite. If overfed, Pekingese will quickly become overweight. They are loving to the point of jealousy. They tend to bark a lot and make good watchdogs. Not recommended for young children who are too rough. This breed may be difficult to housebreak. They have an life expectancy of 10-15 years.
