Here's what the humans have to say about me:
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
UPDATE: Lillie is loving life in her foster home! she is tolerant of the cats and the other dogs, and learn to climb on the couch and snuggle with her foster sister. We are thrilled that she is making such great progress! She is available for adoption and would love to have a home of her own.
Lillie Blackstone received special attention from volunteers yesterday! She accepted her princess crown with grace, and then enjoyed a twenty-minute positive-reinforcement training session with volunteer Alexis. Due to her anxiety. it’s been difficult for us to help Lillie be relaxed and calm, so we did add a Thundershirt for a period of time. There are many different training methods and assists available to us at the shelter, and we always rely on positive reinforcement, making the shelter as pleasant as we can. We have found that after just a few days at the shelter, when dogs go out walking with the volunteers and come back to the door to go in, their tails wag and they are happy to be with us. That’s good! That’s our goal for every dog, to be happy during the day, and to use that happiness to help them adjust to a new home.
Check the additional photos and videos of Lillie in the comments. Lillie is looking for a home where she can have an understanding family. We feel a fenced yard would be in order due to her desire to roam and wander.. Lillie is wonderful with small children, and has become very adept at adjusting to dogs that stay out of her face. She is about 42 pounds, housetrained, spayed, microchipped. We are working so hard to find her a home!
Lillie earned a new name after being called "Blackie" for a few weeks. We admire her ability to adapt, despite first being abandoned and then transitioning to "shelter dog." We have high hopes that she can find a home where she can be loved and adored! Nice size, lived with children for a short time. She does not like other dogs up in her face and needs some time to get to know them. She has done well with Lewis, a mind-your-own-business dog who is easy care and has few cares in the world. And, the more time we spend with her and the more opportunities she is given to socialize with other dogs on a positive note, she has done well with them. We think she probably still prefers male dogs to females, but are open to anything out at this point. Lillie is house trained, but likes to urinate a lot (we call her a “frequent pee-er”) and she has a very discerning nose. She loves to put her nose to the ground and follow it when she smells good things. Her spay has helped her calm down, and she can focus on being a good family dog now.

Additional adoption info
We start with an application so our volunteers and fosters can have an idea of what the adopter is seeking. We ask that other pets in the home be spayed/neutered already if of appropriate age, current with rabies shots, and prefer use of heartworm preventive. We ask for a non-family personal reference as well as a vet reference to contact. We do home visits only if we feel it is vital to the pet's successful placement.
Applications are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours. Foster parents will contact the applicants to advise them of the progress of their application and to set up a meet and greet. Because volunteers work full-time jobs, contact is often made by email.
Fees to adopt range from $20 to $80 for cats, and from $75 to $300 for dogs. A contract requires that the adopter contact FOAC and return the pet to our care at any time if the adoption does not work out.
