Lilly is a courtesy posting from our community, for more information or inquiries to adopt, please contact emily.thorstad@gmail.com.
Lilly was adopted out from a rural Kentucky shelter, however returned 6 months later when the owners realized puppies need to get their energy out. Because they are out of space, she was set to be euthanized 12/23 until her foster in NoVa stepped in. Lilly is a love bug who wants nothing more than to please her family. She loves to cuddle, play with her foster brother, chew on dog appropriate toys, play fetch, and learn new tricks for treats! Lilly is also amazing with kids, and has met babies (3 months old) to 10 year olds. Did I mention she loves to cuddle even with kids? She is still a puppy so she is learning not to jump up or nibble with excitement. She is a very fast learner and knows to sit before her meals. Lilly does best with male dogs that are not too dominant, as she will stand up for herself. She has been around her ornery foster's beagle mix, and she just steers clear. The 'but' about Lilly is that she is not good on leash right now. She is reactive but has never bit, just barks. With the weather and when she came to her foster home, leash walking hasn't been a huge priority. Her foster mom is working on walks and sitting with her back turned to the stimulus. She knows that when I stop walking she needs to turn and sit to get a treat. She will learn fast once she gets used to the sights and sounds of the area.
