Meet Lily D5904

Meet Lily, a 9 lb., 6.5 yr old Pomeranian X. She came into rescue after her first family decided she wasn’t wanted anymore and her second owner got cancer and could no longer care for her.  Lily has been through a lot of stress in her life time being largely ignored and then yelled at for barking and begging for attention. Because of this, she often becomes anxious from various triggers such as, watching someone get ready to leave or coming home after being out for a few hours that causes her to bark to tell you how upset she is. Sometimes Lily barks to tell you she needs attention or some kind of stimulation as well.   When she has felt traumatized, like after her spay, she retreats under a bed for long periods of time.    According to her last owner’s vet, Lily has pancreatitis so her diet has to be somewhat regulated. She came into rescue with lots of homeopathic remedies for this plus her anxiety. As her foster, I’m not certain if they make a difference but, I use them to keep things status quo. Despite all of her quirks, Lily is very sweet and loving. She looks for her human to sit down and offer a lap for her to jump on then, will turn on her back insisting to be held like a baby for pets and belly rubs.  Lily is also house trained and knows how to sit and stay nicely. She loves going for walks and playing with toys or playing games of chase in the yard. Most any form of positive attention makes her happy.   Other: Lily has a long, thick coat so regular grooming will be needed. Because of neglect most of her teeth had to be removed. She does well with eating most things but she’s used to a fresh diet from Chuck and Don’s that runs on the expensive side.  Her next home needs to be very patient and accepting of all of the baggage she comes with. She cannot be left alone all day and she can't be in a home with shared walls like a townhome because of her barking.  Lily is good with other animals and warms up to new people fairly  quickly.   Lily will be a wonderful pet for anyone with the time and patience to welcome her lovingly into their home. 

Adoption Process
Our adoption process includes an adoption application. After reviewing your application and contacting the vet and personal references, a meeting is scheduled between the potential adopter and the pet, in the foster's home or a neutral animal friendly place. If there are any resident animals within the home, it is required that they meet at this time. After the meeting, a home visit by one our representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pet will be living sometime during the adoption process. 6 month post-adoption check in is completed.
