Lily

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Lily – Essex Adoption fee is £250 5 years old Cream, long haired, mini Neutered Lily is a beautiful and loving girl who is looking for a very special home that can help her manage to navigate life as an almost completely blind dog. Her current owners are heartbroken by the decision to rehome her but are finding it increasingly difficult to provide the near constant companionship she requires in order to feel safe. Her next family will need to commit to a few meets so they can start to build a bond which will help Lily navigate the eventual move to her new home. Lily is a very affectionate dog who loves being close to her family and enjoys cuddling. Despite her disability, she is still an active girl who enjoys playtime, especially chasing toys, and her daily walks where she can still manage to walk off-lead. Lily is not crate trained and sleeps in her own bed. Lily is an anxious girl and can be reactive around strangers, other dogs and in other situations that she finds challenging. She can become stressed, which manifests as barking and difficulty settling down. She has occasionally snapped at people who approached when she has felt vulnerable but this has been well managed and rarely happens now. We will provide full behaviourist back-up so her needs as a visually impaired dog are understood and respected. She is a very food-motivated dog, so continued training and positive reinforcement should help her to settle and feel less anxious over time. Lily is a loving soul who needs a home that will commit fully to her needs. With the right training, patience, and love, Lily will continue to make great progress and be a wonderful companion.
