LILY!
GOOD with kids 6+, NO dogs or quiet/calm MALE only, NO cats
“A lily is a flower that is set apart from others in the floral world. A lily stands for beauty and rebirth.” Hi, my name is Lily, and I am 3.7 years old. Just like the flower, I feel like I have had a rebirth since coming into rescue. I’ve been through a lot in my short life, and I am just looking for that amazing soul who sees my beauty among the weeds of life and wants to love me. I am learning so many things about living, and let me tell you, it has been a journey. Due to past situations, I don’t do well around other dogs when we are in the same home. If we are going for a walk and I pass them, I do just fine, however, there is an uncertainty that I feel when I am around them in a confined space, so I would prefer that I be the only dog or with a male dog that is very calm and relaxed. Cats and I have agreed to disagree. I am not sure if they don’t like me or I don’t like them, so it’s just been decided by the humans in my life that I just not be around them. I know that it sounds like a negative thing to be the only animal in your life, but this is how I see it. The Lily is usually the brightest and most colorful flower in the vase, and they stand out the most. People notice them, and therefore, they give them all the visual attention. As the only pet in your life, I get to spend all my time with you!!! I get to have all the pets, scratches, treats, and hugs, and then I can give all my love back to you because I’m not sharing it with anything else! I see this as a complete win for both of us. As for kids, LOVE THEM!!! I get a long great with them and they also get to share in all the affection that I give. Plus, they tend to drop extra treats on the floor for me. Another win is that you don’t need a vacuum!! I prefer that they be at least around 6 because I get anxious that they are going to take my toys from me and older kids seem to understand how to play with me, and I love to play. I am a super laid back little girl and truly nothing really phases me. I do have this weird quirk where I will bury my bones in the yard for a later date, but its all good because I always manage to find them when I want them. I love my crate, and you won’t ever hear a peep out of me when I need to go in it. I know how to sit, come, and I rarely bark. When I had to go to the vet for my checkup, they were amazed at how relaxed and calm I was. I kept getting told how much of a good girl I was, and they kept giving me treats. Well, I’m going to run outside and find one of my bones and bring it in the house to chew on while I wait for you. When you come to get me, I’ll be the beautiful flower sitting in the window soaking up the sunshine. Love, Lily (updated 02/24/20)
