Lemmie is a very sweet girl who loves to be loved and petted. She comes if you squat/bend down and call her, and will sit with you to be fawned over. She has the softest fur you have ever petted.
In her original foster home she was anxious and did some pacing and we realized she really needed another dog in the home. Once we moved her and now she is with another dog, who we also think is her mother, she no longer seems anxious. So Lemmie will need a home with a playmate.
She is only one year old. She was going into her crate to sit alone when she didn't have another dog with her. Now she usually follows Elsa, and sits/lays/sleeps with her. They sleep through the night. She has been pretty good about going out to potty, and will go to the door when she needs to go out. She is starting to get interested in toys. She isn't very food motivated. She does eat her meals and will take a treat but isn't food crazy.
The foster dad did manage to walk her around the cul-de-sac although she did not do well on the leash. She didn't walk with him and kept wanting to go towards the woods. She will need some work on leash walking.
Although she hasn't tried to dig under the fence, she did dig a good sized hole under a shed pretty quickly, so we think she is still an escape digger hazard. So even though she will need a fenced yard, it needs to be one that is secure at the bottom where she can't dig out.
She is spayed, micro-chipped and vaccinated. She is HW positive so we have started her on medication.
If you are interested in meeting Lemmie, our application can be found at www.homesfurhounds.org. She is located in Williamsburg, Va.

More about this rescue
Homes Fur Hounds Inc. was formed to help the overwhelming number of animals that are abandoned, surrendered to county agencies and simply unwanted. These animals are facing death due to no fault of their own other than not being convenient. Our mission is to help stop the unnecessary killing of animals. Thousands of animals are put to sleep (some more humanely than others) every day. We strive to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, heartworm preventive and general health care. We also strive to help owners who are experiencing difficulties with their pet find solutions to their problems. By helping them find solutions we keep the animals out of the county pounds and from being abandoned. It is our policy to adopt out only healthy dogs and to do our best to know and understand what type of home the dog needs. We are always striving to find that “forever home” for the animals.
