Adopt Lily May

Bichon Frisé · Female · Senior · 9 years

Lily May has come to us from a breeder and is now hoping to find her own special forever home. When she first arrived, she was a very worried little girl who was feeling quite overwhelmed by her new surroundings. Its clear she hasn’t had much socialisation before, so she will need lots of love and TLC as she settles into her new life. Lily May did move briefly to a foster home, where she began to find her paws and settle into home life. Unfortunately she didn't get on with one of the female resident dogs in her foster home so she has had to come back to the rescue where she has settled back in well. She has since shown that she can be picky with which female dogs she likes to share her space with and so for this reason she will now be looking for a home with a male resident dog as she much prefers the company of male dogs. She was in foster with a cat and so could possibly be homed with a dog savvy cat. Lily May will be best suited to a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and who will help her settle in at her own pace. She is still very timid, but is taking everything gently in her stride. She has already accepted a harness well, and is beginning to walk on a lead. Although, she will still need to continue gaining confidence while out and about. She meets other dogs well on walks and is even getting comfortable greeting their owners as well, showing just how brave she is! As she has never lived in a home before, Lily May will still need patient and understanding adopters to gently introduce her to everyday routines. She will need support with learning about house training, however, she was already starting to do really well with this in her foster home. She remains sensitive to everyday noises and movements, but is beginning to cope better with gentle reassurance and support. Lily May does tolerate being handled, and this will continue to improve as her trust develops. Lily May is a sweet little girl who simply needs patience, love and reassurance. With the right family by her side, she will continue to grow in confidence and become a devoted and loving companion. She is currently being treated for an ear infection. This dog can be homed with a resident dog. This dog can be homed with cats.
