Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lillian is a 9 month old mixed breed, and though we were told her parents were terrier and miniature pinscher mixes, with her short legs and long body it looks like one of her parents was also part Dachshund! She's pint sized at about about 13 pounds. She came from a home that had too many dogs, and the owner asked a rescue person to take Lillian and her sister Jillian and find them good homes.
Lillian is now doing nicely in her new foster home. She walks well on a leash, is good in the car and good in her crate. Lillian has an exuberant personality and makes friends with everyone she meets, and conversely, everyone she meets loves her in return. In her foster home she plays very well with visiting children. She even doesn't mind the vet and the groomer! She's good with other dogs, albeit a little "chatty" with excitement at first. We recently had her with us at a street festival, and she did great with all the people wanting to pet her.
Lilly has so many good qualities, sometimes it's easy to forget - she's still a puppy! A puppy who, because of where she came from, missed out on some basic training in her babyhood. A puppy that still needs 'adult supervision' and guidance and appropriate chew toys. Luckily for whoever adopts her, Lillian's foster dad is one of our most experienced! Lillian is now mostly housebroken and has learned to lie down and wait before going outside. Her foster dad says she is one of the most responsive dogs he's ever had; she is so very eager to please and so very smart. So her adopter will need to continue with her training, provide lots of mental stimulation and a regular exercise regimen as she grows into adulthood so as not to become bored.
Lillian is a lap dog, and being a great snuggler, hopes you'll let her share your bed -- but only if you want her to. Overall, she's a very friendly, sweet little dog who is fairly non-demanding. All she needs is clear leadership, clear rules, clear boundaries, love and affection, which she will return tenfold! If you are looking for a smaller, intelligent, outgoing older puppy, come meet Lillian!
Lillian's adoption fee of $300 includes initial vet exam, heartworm test, distemper vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, flea/tick preventative, deworming, heartworm preventative, microchip, and spay.
