Two Week Report

Lily has come a long way in the last two weeks. She has gone from resting nearly all of the time to jumping the baby gate in the kitchen when she doesn't feel like hanging out with the puppies. She is stronger and more energetic each day, and still a very sweet (if independent!) girl. She loves taking walks (and eschews the backyard when a walk is a possibility!) and really loves laying on her large doggy pillow instead of resting in her crate (though she never cries or complains in her crate, just needs coaxing to get in). She is so good that we have allowed her to stay uncrated and on her pillow more than even the resident dogs... special VIP treatment for a special girl.

Here is what we know about Lily now:
  • She likes to find her own comfy spaces to rest
  • She is housebroken and crate trained
  • She is easy to walk on a leash
  • She has a BIG bark, but doesn't use it that often
  • She enjoys her food
  • She CAN jump a 3-foot fence and can also jump a 6-foot fence if she can launch off of something
  • She is good with kid, other dogs, & cats
  • She needs some coaxing to go out in the backyard or into the crate

Hi Allie,
I've been visiting Lily online for a few weeks now and am so glad she's doing well. I have been looking to adopt a rescue dog for a few months now and fell in love with Lily when I found the Forgotten Friends web site. I have submitted my application already but just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I'm very excited to meet Lily!
