Lilly D3031's Story...
Lilly a Terrier-Chihuahua mix is a true warrior princess. Due to an earlier accident she had her leg amputated but no one told her she’s a 3-legged dog so she acts like any other dog only with more courage and zest for life. With her ears erect she truly looks royal and has the courage of a warrior guarding hearth and home. Lilly was originally rescued from a shelter by Furry Friends Rescue (FFR) and placed (adopted) in 2006. She was returned to FFR this November 2012 with a crippled left front leg resulting from an accident 2 years ago that had not been treated. After careful consideration and discussions with our veterinary surgeon it was decided to amputate her leg since it was an impediment to Lilly and could get caught on objects. She also had a dental and few teeth extracted. She recovered from the surgery very quickly and within days she was chasing and retrieving tennis balls and using the doggie door with ease. Lilly is friendly playful active and spunky. She's a good girl and is extremely responsible about using the doggie door at her foster home to go outside whenever she needs to eliminate. Lilly will bark at new dogs but settles down once she knows them. She can be nervous and confused in situations new to her but she is friendly. Lilly needs a compassionate understanding and responsible home for life. Her bark warns of intruders and she can stand her ground against dogs several times her size. She great with foster home dog. However she also has a playful side scampering after her tennis ball and sleeping with her squeaky stuffed dog. She is also quite a cuddler on the couch or in your bed if allowed. Her favorite place to sleep is in a patch of sunlight or under the covers seeking warmth. Lilly is personality-plus!
