DESCRIPTION:
Lolly is nothing short of a survivor. This girl was picked up as a stray with another female dog who it was assumed was her sister and brought to a crowded shelter. Both girls were in poor condition. Emaciated, missing fur, covered in a skin sores, and heartworm positive, they entered the shelter just as a distemper outbreak occurred. Although both girls were very sweet, they were quickly added to the list for euthanasia. Luckily, they were pulled from the euthanasia room at the last second by another rescue when an incredible foster stepped up to help. Not all fosters are ready for one dog, but this one was open to two.
The girls were tightly bonded and were lucky to leave with their lives. Shortly after they arrived in care, Lolly's sister popped positive with distemper. This virus is often extremely challenging and takes many lives. Although she fought hard, Lolly's sister did not survive leaving Lolly alone and grieving. Her foster made sure Lolly had everything she needed to keep moving forward. He quarantined Lolly to make sure that she did not come down with the virus, kept her company, and began addressing her other medical needs. With her skin issues addressed, her weight back up where it belongs, and her heartworms gone, Lolly has made huge strides. After months of recovery, Lolly is ready to find a forever family of her very own thanks to the love and support of her foster dad.
Lovely Lolly is an interactive girl. She enjoys the company of her human and canine companions. Now that she can be a dog, Lolly enjoys romping around outside. She has learned the joys of toys and a comfortable bed. Having lived with a foster for the last several months, Lolly has also been learning the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, this girl will need a chance to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. A home with clear routines, structure, and leadership will help her thrive. Training will also go a long way with Lolly. Not only will training help her bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Lolly is looking for that special family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
Update:
Lolly is still decompressing- she is very sweet, affectionate and wants to be a small lap dog- but she can’t because she is too big! This southern cutie came up in the freezing cold and is handling her transition changes very well. She discovered she enjoys snow, and it tastes good! Lolly is house trained, and is doing well with crate training. She is enjoying being with other dogs around her size. This is one food motivated pup which will be good for the basic training she was never taught.
