Dog Name: Lakely
Breed: Mixed breed
Sex: Female
Age: 1ish
Weight: 35-40lbs
Medical Needs: A spay appointment has been requested in Dover, and must be kept as a condition of adoption. Foster to adopt families must live within 1 hour of Dover to ensure she can be brought back for her appointment.
Housebroken: No accidents yet, though she's kept on a schedule
Crate trained: Yes, she likes her crate and will retreat to it when she needs a moment
Good in the car: Yes
Good on a leash: Yes, though loud noises still make her anxious
Energy level: Medium; she can go from bouncy and excited to calm. Either way, she's endearingly sweet about it.
Need a fenced in yard: Yes, she's just a bit too spooky to trust without a fence.
Dog Friendly: Yes! She absolutely adores my pack, though she's not a fan of dogs who are a little too enthusiastic and don't listen to her desire for space.
If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Yes, dogs give Lakely confidence and help her come out of her shell.
Cat Friendly?: Yes, she ignores them
Kid Friendly: Unsure
If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Older children who know how to be calm. Loud sounds and sudden movements still startle Lakely, so young or boisterous children likely aren't a good idea.
Traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?
Lakely came to the shelter covered in scars, though you wouldn't know it looking at her today. While I can't say for certain what happened to her in the past, it's left its mark in more than just a physical way. Strangers make her nervous, and her preferred method is “flight” rather than sticking around to see what they'll do to her.
That being said, once you earn this sweet little princess’ trust, you'll get to see exactly what kind of playful, adoring nature she truly has. Lakely needs a home where she can bloom, and where she's given the patience to come into her own. She's desperate to please, and excited to realize she's done something right. She's a silly girl at heart, and she looks at her people with the softest, most loving eyes.
Lakely's affection may not come immediately, but once you have it, you'll never want to lose it.
