Meet Lily, the Playful Sun-Seeker!
Approximately 7-8 years old, Lily was adopted in 2019 as an adult. This charming Boxer mix, with no breathing issues, is a delightful blend of playful energy and affectionate cuddles. She’s up to date on her medical needs, including her rabies vaccination, spay, and microchip. While she developed a seizure disorder two years ago, she is completely fine and thriving with an affordable monthly medication.
Lily is a very playful pup who loves a good game of catch or tug-of-war. Alternatively, she loves to be snuggled, petted, and close to you. Due to her hip condition, she isn’t able to walk long distances, though her enthusiasm might suggest otherwise at first! She’s watchful of the house and will bark at anyone approaching. Lily enjoys the freedom of a dog door to access the yard whenever she pleases and loves laying out in the summer sun (yes, even in the heat!), but she is incredibly afraid of thunderstorms and seeks comfort close to you. Her kennel is another safe space (and will come with her to her new home). She is also afraid of vacuum cleaners, brooms, and cans, possibly from her life before us. She doesn’t typically get along well with other dogs, though she coexisted with our previous dog, Max, who deferred to her dominance. She is very affectionate with teenage children, always ready for a car ride, and eager to join you on any adventure.
Lily needs a new home because her family is relocating to Switzerland, and airlines do not accommodate “snub-nosed” dogs for the journey. While her current family’s other snub-nosed dog, Max, is being adopted by friends, Lily thrives as an only dog. Her ideal home would be with someone who is home frequently, as she is used to having companionship. Her current family is unsure how she does alone for extended periods, as she has rarely been alone for more than five hours, with a sitter checking on her twice a day during vacations. Lily is incredibly food motivated and will eat anything left unattended (even up to human hip level), often taking her treasures to a “secret stash” in the yard. Her stomach seems incredibly strong, since she was seen eating Kim-Chi and an entire Costco size bag of Hershey’s Kisses. A gate was installed at the kitchen entrance to create a safe space for food. This strong food motivation, however, could be a great advantage for training and teaching new tricks!
This sweet, sun-loving, and affectionate pup is deserving of the perfect furever home. Could it be with you? Apply to adopt Lily IX today!
