05/17/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Things may have started off slow with Lily, but I liked her right away. It’s fair to say some have a type, and little lumps of black charcoal, low-rider, chunky monkeys are mine. Lily’s smushy face is only icing on the cake. But, at first, Lily is shy and so serious that her little face looks so concerned it’s hard not to feel my heartstrings tug. While she’s anxious in her kennel, she seems very housetained and is ready to go out. Admittedly, once she took care of business, she sort of explored the yard, staying mostly to herself, aside from greeting the dog in the adjacent pen. It wasn’t until I showed her a ball that she really began to shine! All of a sudden, her downturned mouth turned into a smile from ear to ear and she literally couldn’t contain her joy! Lily LOVES to fetch. She is quite the athlete for a vertically challenged, slightly overweight little lady. She zooms after the ball, brings it back, drops on command and does it again and again with seemingly endless newfound energy. Lily’s former owner reports that she’s lived with kids and done well with them, may be best as the only dog in the home, and that it takes her a little time to warm up to new people. It may sound cliché, but Lily is a spring flower that is ready to bloom, she just needs the right family to help her. Ask to meet her today!

According to Lily’s previous guardian, Lily has lived with other dogs but does not do well around them, growling and barking when they approach, and was keep separate from the other dogs. The Behavior Department believes that it would be in Lily’s best interest to be the only resident dog at this time.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 05/09/17 During her initial medical examination, Lily was a bit tense though tolerated all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: Lily displays a low energy level in the care centers, we cannot be certain of her energy in a home environment though recommend daily mental and physical stimulation as an outlet to direct her enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _X_No young children _X_Recommend no dog parks: Due to Lily’s previous guardian reporting that she does not get along with other dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that she be socialized in a more controlled setting until her behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Potential challenges: _X_Handling/touch sensitivity: Lily has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times, especially when a person is reaching over her. It is important to always go slow and give Lily the option to walk away from any social interaction. Lily should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Lily’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Lily would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings. _X_Fearful: Though observed to be human-social, Lily may need time to warm up to the handler as she initially presents as a fearful dog, avoiding contact, shying away from direct touch. We recommend allowing Lily to interact at her own pace, force-free, rewarding based training is advised when introducing her to new/unfamiliar situations.
