Will the madness ever end?
Beautiful loving Lily was in an extremely high kill shelter in CA. She was dropped off by a mother & daughter who found her wandering around a large park. They apparently took Liv home & she was mouthy with the child while the child was randomly patting her is what the shelter was informed off by the mother. If that was not bad enough, a 72 hour notice was sent out for Lily’s life, she had 72 hours for a rescue to come save this sweet girl or her life was going to end because she had now been labeled a biter & had a bite history. Her world had changed so much & no one was coming to save her. We were not going to let anything further happen to her. When we got her out of the shelter we could clearly see she was not well at all. We got her straight to the vets & it was discovered immediately she was in very bad shape with pneumonia. This little lady had already been through so much at a very young age & had the fight of her life ahead of her.
Lily was bought back to WA state from CA after she was well where she can’t wait to find her new forever home who won’t let her down.
Beautiful Lily had a heinous start to life as we know already. Having being taken to the kill shelter by the people who found her. She was sitting on death row with pneumonia & with no one coming for her. It’s just not right nor fair. We have found her to be the biggest sweetheart with us.
She has done well at our vets when getting all of her treatments considering what she has been through. She likes both men & woman & just wants you to love her. One of our ladies said she is one of the easiest & calmest rescues she has experienced.
This little lady is such a love for everything she has been through. She does want all the attention when there are other dogs around her foster mum said & did get jealous in her foster home in CA. Here in WA she has not shown signs of jealousy. She was slow at eating at first because of the pneumonia & now her appetite is back & she loves to eat.
Lily does walk well on her leash but could still need work on her leash. She adores being held & getting love. She does so good with getting her baths.
You had also better make room in your bed for Lily as she wants to sleep in bed with you.
Lily does ride beautifully in the car & enjoys a good journey & will just sit in the car & take it all in. We are looking for a forever home for Lily where someone is home during the day or they can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. Lily does enjoy playing in the backyard so she will require a fully fenced secure backyard & she does enjoy the company of other dogs but her foster mum said she believes she should be the only dog in the home as long as someone is there with her all the time.
Lily is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be patient with her.
UPDATE: Lily was adopted & her mother can no longer care for her as she became ill & the family does not want Lily so a new loving home has to be found for this sweetheart. In her home she was fed kibble unfortunately & has become very overweight & needs to lose at least 3 - 4 lbs. We always fed Lily a clean diet of raw proteins, fruits, vegetables & supplements & was given bully sticks & collagen sticks. To get her back to a healthy weight we recommend feeding Lily a clean diet again & when she gets adopted she will go home with clean food. Lily was previously called Liv but now Lily.
Her mother loved Lily very much & we are looking for a forever home for Lily for life.
Lily has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & she was in a loving foster home with other dogs. But Lily can get very temperamental when she wants to be with some dogs & did in her foster so we are looking for a forever home where she is the only dog & be treated like a queen.
Lily is roughly 4 years old, & now 20.6 lbs, perhaps a Boston terrier, what she is mixed with we are not sure? She was spayed by us. She was treated for pneumonia twice, with injections & oral medications, she is had a dental, scale & polish, along with dental x-rays, microchipped, up to date on her shots including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies, dewormed several times & is heart worm negative. Once these shots expire we will only redo the rabies as we do not over vaccinate dogs & shorten their lives.
We have Lily booked in for another dental before she will be adopted.
We have spent far more on rescuing Lily & with all of her medical care, treating her for pneumonia, we are getting her a dental with a scale & polish, dental x-rays, spaying her by laser, along with shots, microchipped, medications, transport fees etc than her fee covers. Then another dental & any extractions that maybe needed.
Lily has been around cats since being in the rescue in her previous foster home in CA but just because she did well with that cat does not mean she mean she will do well with all cats. But it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had her around small children so we do not recommend small children at all & will not adopt to a home with Lily with small children & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & animals.
We were not there when Lily was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is.
As with all of our rescues & Lily & her friends they will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Lily potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond.
We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying & take them to one class only.
Lily has been through many traumas in her short time on this earth so when applying this needs to be kept in mind & for her care.
Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Lily & going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Lily who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this little lady & understands the many traumas she has endured & are patient with her.
Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately.
Lily has an adoption fee of $1250 & are ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what they have been through.
