**Lily **
Lily is one of the sweetest pups.
Lily was rescued from the euthanasia list at a crowded shelter together with her mother, Hazel. She had a dislocated right hip when she came in and was spayed at the same time as having her leg repaired, after which she has been doing very well. For the first few days, she can be shy when meeting new people, but as she starts to trust you, she begins to show her cuddly, playful nature. She enjoys curling up in your arms and sleeping close to the covers at night. Lily loves toys, will get on well with another young, playful dog if properly introduced, and will be very loyal. At this time, we do not know if she has experience living with cats. Lily has not lived with young children, so families with kids should plan to supervise interactions and gradually introduce her to them to help her feel comfortable. She is afraid of men and will therefore need introductions to be made slowly and steadily. A dog pen is a good idea if there is a man in the house, as it gives her a chance to relax and helps her to build trust with him. She will do splendidly in a home that consists only of women.
Lily is about 1 to 1.5 years old. She has a very soft, almost white coat with brown spots on her legs; her face has a distinctive, almost black pattern beneath the white fur, and she has a beautiful black nose. Her ears are straight and tall, similar to those of rat terriers and some Chihuahuas; she has the long legs typical of an Italian Greyhound, and she possesses the intelligence characteristic of Rat Terriers and Jack Russells. If you enjoy agility course training, Lily could probably do well since she is both intelligent and has the stamina.
Lily's daily routine includes two short walks and one longer play session. She enjoys playing with squeaky toys and balls in a fenced yard or in the living room. After some morning exercise, Lily settles down next to her foster parent while they work or relax. She typically eats twice a day, in the morning and evening, and enjoys her human-grade dog food. Lily looks forward to some gentle playtime before bedtime and loves curling up in her dog bed or under the covers at night. She does best with a predictable schedule and positive, gentle interactions throughout the day.
