Our sweet girl Lily is approx 7 years old and spent over 4 years of her life in a public shelter in Romania. These shelters are extremely overcrowded, noisy, unsafe and the workers are not kind to the dogs. Can you imagine spending over half of your short life in such a horrific enviroment? Now that we've got to know Lily, and her gentle temperament, our heart breaks her for even more, knowing that she was overlooked and not cared about for such a long time :( Lily can be very shy and submissive when she first meets you, with men in particular we have seen her hide away into bushes trying to make herself as small as possible to minimise her risk of being hurt. She is slowly starting to learn that she is safe and loved with us at Oakwood and warms up to females particularly quickly, with males she's just going to take a little longer to trust, after everything she has been through in her life, this is completely understandable, they will just need to show kindess and patience and we're sure she'll get there in no time. Lily will happily be in the presence of other dogs and shows no reactivity however, in her own space, she will guard food and other items from dogs such as the sofa. She has never shown any guarding traits towards humans, only dogs and we need to understand that this is likely the only way that she survived over 4 years in a Romanian shelter. Lily is new into the rescue and so we've not cat tested her as of yet. Lily shows to have low / moderate energy levels. She's currently quite overweight and so believe she'll feel much better when she loses a few kg's and her energy levels should increase Lily seems to be a very chilled out girl however, she has never lived in a home before nor has she ever been completely alone so any time alone in the home is going to need to be slowly built up over time Whilst Lily is still settling in, we've not yet attempted walking her, she's still getting to know us and her new environment Lily has no form of basic training although she is clean in her kennel and she does give her paw a lot without being asked
