What Lucy Liu Needs
Lucy Liu's care needs are:
[BLUE]Owner surrender due to landlord restrictions. Blue dot on intake; did not walk on leash, staff had to use a towel as a sling to move her; dog was avoidant and snapped during leashing, had shut down/stiff body language for intake handling, had to go slowly and cover with a towel. In shelter, dog was fearful, huddled on bed, allowed volunteers to slowly leash and walk outside, where she mostly avoided people; over time, dog began approaching familiar volunteers warily. Was co-kenneled with other female dogs without incident.On approach to kennel, dog huddled on bed, head down; slowly attempted leashing, dog snapped at leash. Handler exited kennel, held kennel door open; dog slowly got up and crept out of the door, handler leashed as dog exited kennel. Walked quickly outside, tail tucked; entered yard where fosters and their large dog were seated; approached large dog cautiously, stood in proximity with fosters, tail tucked. Eventually allowed handler and foster, while seated on the ground, to pet her chin, head and back. Foster reported that after a day in foster, dog now follows them around and loves pets; ignores their cat; has not played with their larger dog but is comfortable around her and follows her around; appears to be housetrained; exit searching when in yard. May initially be timid and fearful, adopter will need to give dog time and space to build confidence. Adopter should take care not to leave dog unattended or off leash in yard initially. This dog likely is a flight risk given her sensitive and fearful nature; adopter should take care not to leave open doors, gates, etc., to avoid this dog escaping. We highly recommend using a tracking device (e.g., AirTag, Fi or Tractive) on the collar for fearful dogs. Unknown how this dog will behave around children; respectful, dog savvy children 12+ may be okay. Younger children may not be a good fit given dog's timid and sensitive nature.[2026-08-07 13:43:00.000]
