Lilly

Description

Meet Lilly! She is an incredibly sweet dog with a heartbreaking backstory. Estimated to be around 4-6 yrs old, she came into SPIN rescue clearly starving, very underweight at 70lbs, we think a healthy weight would be around 90-100lbs.  Lilly was found on the street near a dumpster. Her female Great Pyrenees companion (Delaney, also now with SPIN Rescue) had gotten stuck inside the dumpster and Lilly was loyal, staying nearby, waiting for her friend to be rescued.  A vet has confirmed Lilly has had multiple litters of puppies in the past. We also believe she was abused at some point as she is very sensitive to pressure on her neck/collar and starts to panic. She has some scarring on her nose and legs, either from abuse or her time on the streets.  Now safe in her foster home, she has been the sweetest, calmest, most amazing dog. She absolutely adores children and follows the 8yr boy around the house, he is her favorite. She has a very calm relaxed demeanor, low energy. She can be shy with adult strangers but once she realizes they are kind, she has loved everyone she's met. She does enjoy snuggling and will rest in your lap.  Lilly was reserved at first, but now thats she's getting more comfortable she has been more playful and even got the zoomies. She enjoys putting her feet in the pool.  She has been great with all dogs. Lilly will need another dog in her forever home, as she bonds strongly with dogs. (If you don't have one, you can also adopt Delaney, who she was found with) Regarding cats, she has gotten better and now gets along well with cats on her foster home's property but is not a fan of strange cats. She does well with livestock too but is ready for the inside life.  She is mostly house trained, we think she will have it down by time she is adopted. We do not walk her on leash, as she is sensitive to pressure on the collar - she becomes scared and wants to get away. Fencing in her home will need to be secure as she can be a runner. She overall doesn't bark but when she does its justified.  Lilly has been through a lot in her life, she deserves the best. Her adopters will need to have some patience at first but she warms up quickly and will love you with all her heart.  Lilly is now spayed. Her adoption fee is $250. She is in a foster home in DFW area of Texas. We do adopt out of state and can recommend transport organizations.  Apply to meet and adopt Lilly at www.spinrescue.org
