This is Lily! She was found on the side of the road where a sweet woman took her in and nursed her back to health (she was in really bad shape!) She is currently under my training and in a foster situation, but the foster parents can't keep her for much longer. We are looking for a home for her ASAP! Others have so generously been able to help her out by socializing and exercising her, and she needs a loving home who will be open to a family type dog. She is fabulous with kids and other pets.
Lily was apprehensive when I started working with her. We wanted to do a little course correcting on her growing fear of people and I am pleased to announce that she has been doing so well since she has been being walked more often and socialized more often! In the image above, you can see her curiosity because I was making a noise to get her to look at the camera that way, but in the picture to the left you can see her more natural body language stance.
Her ears are back (listening for what is behind her and not fully in tune with what is in front of her) and her tail is at a medium height, slowly wagging (signifying a slight skepticism). The photo above was taken after my first session with her and the photo to the left was taken after my second session with her.
At this point we have done three sessions and we will continue to work on socializing and exercising her more regularly! As soon as she finds a home who can commit to these two things, it will be smooth sailing all the way to complete psychological and physical health for Lily.
