Lilou is thought to be a 5-7 yr old shepherd lab mix. She weighs about 42 lbs and will be spayed on April 24th. She has cerebeller abiotrophy which has been stable but does cause her balance issues. Lilou falls, but she always gets right back up. She will do great in a home with someone who has time and patience. If the household is calm, then she stays calm and walks really well. She can get excited playing with other dogs and tends to fall more while trying to play with them. Lilou likes to be around other dogs, but would be fine being the only dog in the house too. She will keep you company while she lays next to you on her favorite bed. She can’t get on furniture which is nice for some people. She’s not a lap dog or a snuggle bug, but she loves to be massaged and pet. Soft spoken words of encouragement help her, lots of patience mixed with lots of love goes along way with her. She likes treats and she will occasionally play with toys when she’s feeling frisky. She is house trained and does well being left to roam freely in the house. She does not do well at all in a crate environment since she’s been spoiled enjoying her freedom. She takes a bit to warm up to some people and dogs at first, but quickly is accepting of everyone. Lilou will follow you to every room of the house with carpet or runners down. She does best with carpet. She turns into “Bambi on ice” with bare floors. Lilou likes short slow walks around the yard or down the block and back. The heat is not her friend, possibly due to her condition. She will sunbath for a short bit and then she likes to go inside and nap in the A/C. She can be a very independent gal, who is “street smart”, resilient, and even strong willed at times. But she had to be when she lived on her own on the streets in the Bahamas before she was rescued by her hero, Chella, who many of you may follow on social media. She made sure she could come to the US for care and get an opportunity for the best life. Lilou is overall a very happy and very sweet girl who just needs to find her forever home. We prefer she go to an all-adult home, or if the home has kids, that they be teens and respectful of her challenges. Her home must be a single story and no open pool. Lilou is available for a foster, foster to adopt, or adoption. Please see video links below so you can see how Lilou walks and runs. If you think you have the perfect home for Lilou, and you live in Florida, please complete an application and tell us more about your family.
