Description:
Lily is such a cute dog.At 2 years old and 17 pounds she can be very loving and snuggly. She loves nothing better than belly rubs and cuddling up to go to sleep with you. But this is not something that comes easily to Lily. She is very fearful of new people and situations. She may growl at first and lunge. She does not bite, but she has been known to grab with an open mouth. She needs people who are patient and allow her to take the lead in interacting with you. I do not recommend her with small children. I have 4 grandkids who are under 10 years and often come for visits. They have learned to not approach Lily, but let her come to them. After 3 months, she still may growl at them. Lily gets along with our 2 dogs, a big female Beagle and a Chi-mix about her size. She likes to play with them, but often growls if the Beagle tries to get up on the couch with her. Lily is fine with getting on the couch if the Beagle is already there. ( Go figure.)She has had little experience with cats, mostly chasing them. She can be very reactive to other dogs while on a walk: barking and lunging, but recently we went on a Pack Walk with about 10 other dogs and didn't react to any of them. (Again Go figure.)She loves to go for walks and would really benefit from having a yard she can run around in. We don't have a fenced yard so she gets out for walks every 4-5 hours. She is housebroken as long as that schedule is pretty well maintained. (Night times she can go over 10 hours). Having a yard would help alot. She knows to sit and come. We are working on other commands. She is up to date on all her shots and has been spayed.Lily would make a great companion for someone who understands her. (If we didn't already have 2 dogs we would adopt her, but if we had 3 dogs we can't foster any more. :( If you are interested in Lily, Please fill out a statement of interest on our website.
