Apply to Adopt Me!
Lilou is a loving and happy girl!! She loves to be near her people and will greet you with the biggest tail wags and gentle kisses, making every day a little brighter! She loves to sunbathe and go on slow 10 to 15 minute sniffy walks on the sidewalks a couple of times a day. The rest of the day she enjoys moving from one cozy dog bed to another to keep you company around the house and hang out near you while you work. Lilou has a cerebellar condition which affects her balance, causing her to stumble and fall, but she has gotten much stronger with her exercises, therapy at Florida Veterinary Rehabilitation and her surgery (FHO) back in June. Lilou manages quite well with assistance of a "Help Em Up" harness which she wears during the daytime so that you can support her as needed. Lilou is house-trained, enjoys treats, and occasionally plays with toys.
Lilou would thrive in a home where someone can be with her most of the time, helping her with mobility and enjoying her loving company. We're looking for a special adopter with good balance and upper body strength to assist her as needed. Lilou gets along well with calm dogs and would do best with a gentle canine companion to keep her company when you’re not around. We believe she would do best in an all-adult home or with teens who are respectful of her needs. Her ideal home would be single-story and without an open pool, and with floor surfaces that are not slippery. She does best on carpets with texture and rubber mats (many of which will come with her adoption). We are also trying out booties and non-slip stickers on Lilou's feet to assist her on surfaces that aren't as friendly.
Lilou was rescued on the streets of the Bahamas by her hero, Chella, whom many follow on social media. Chella ensured Lilou could come to the US for the care she needed and a chance at the best life. Lilou is a happy and very sweet girl, just looking for her forever home.
If you think you have the perfect home for Lilou and live in Florida, please complete an application and tell us more about your family. She can’t wait to meet you!
