My name is Lily (formerly Jade)!

We got lily as kind of a temporary foster from another lady. We quickly determined she has likely suffered abuse at some point and didn't feel comfortable giving her back. We considered keeping her, but my daughter and I are severely allergic to her (unlike our other dogs), so it's unsustainable to keep her. She is s very sweet dog, very calm, does fine with all our other animals and our 4 kids. She knows few command and wasn't house trained, but we have house trained her, crate trained her, trained her with a dog door, and taught her simple commands (we have had her less than a month). She is a very smart dog and very sweet. She clearly has anxiety related to prior treatment and is afraid of tall/heavier set people. She quickly bonded with my daughter though and sleeps with her at night. She growls when new people come near but once she smells them she calms down.
