I'm sorry that you are having to re-home Lola! I'm sure that this situation is stressful for you, so it's certainly possible that she is picking up on your stress and is unsure what's happening. I would recommend trying to keep her daily routine as consistent as possible during this transition time, and spending some extra time with her each day if you can to help keep her from becoming stressed and anxious about the changes.
