Story
Lilo is a sweet, snuggly, and slightly shy girl with a playful spirit and a big heart. She’s a certified Velcro dog — happiest when she's by your side, following you from room to room with her signature gentle loyalty. Once you earn her trust, you’ll unlock her goofy side: expect zoomies when you get home from work and bouncing excitement when she wants to play. She even gives you the cutest “please play with me” eyes!After a couple days in her new foster home, she settled in really nicely and caught onto the routine quickly. She’s fully potty trained, sleeps through the night in her crate, and even free-roams responsibly when left alone. She is doing well with household manners, like knowing not to jump up, counter surf or steal food, and she is quickly learning the "sit" and “wait” commands. Lilo can be vocal, especially when there are unknown noises that startle her or make her nervous. For this reason, Lilo cannot live in a home with shared walls (no apartments/townhomes).Lilo is polite with other dogs and has done well with both cats and kids in past homes. While she may bark a bit when meeting new people or dogs from afar, she’s quick to warm up and incredibly friendly once she feels safe. As a roommate though, Lilo would prefer to be the only dog or the only female dog. She prefers a calm introduction and a little patience — and in return, you’ll get a best friend for life.Lilo has a moderate-high energy level. A long walk or jog each day, or playing with another dog in the home would meet her needs nicely. She likes to play with toys if her humans are included too. If there is a fenced yard, we recommend at least four feet tall — Lilo can jump!Lilo can be a little anxious in new situations, so she will thrive with a family who has experience with positive reinforcement and redirection training methods, or demonstrate genuine willingness to learn these techniques. She’s smart, well-mannered, and eager to please — a perfect mix of cuddly companion and energetic playmate.If you are interested in Lilo, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
