Our sweet Lily is seeking a very special home <3
Because she came from a lifetime of breeding, she has 2 vertebrates that are bone on bone and filled with arthritis. She wasn't someone's family member or their pet, her and many others were used specifically for breeding with minimal veterinary care provided to ensure they live a healthy and happy life. Without pain medication, she has the continuous urge to defecate. This could be because doing so relieves some back pain and/or behavior.
Lily is extremely sweet + loves to be loved on by her people. At only 6lbs, she loves to be carried around. She is great with other dogs and cats. She loves to lounge and sleep during the day. As long as she sees her human, she is comfortable and safe. She does experience anxiety when she is unable to see her person therefore we do not recommend a home with shared walls. Lily does well when taken outside on a regular schedule, however, she is also comfortable in diapers. Sweet Lily has learned to navigate three stairs but hasn't conquered a flight.
Lily has so much love to give a special person looking for the sweetest companion. She's ready to spend the rest of her life completely spoiled + we believe she is so deserving after the life she's had.
After years of having babies, she is ready to be someone's baby.
Age: 11
Breed: Maltese
Weight: 6.4 Lbs
Kid-friendly: Yes
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Yes
Crate trained: Yes but she will bark.
Potty trained: She needs to be taken out often (every 2-hours) but she also does fine in diapers.
Health concerns: None - Recently Spayed
Medications: Rimadyl, Gabapentin, Fluoxetine, Probiotic and Laxative
Diet: PetFresh - She needs to be on a food other than kibble or canned. Human grade or homemade dog food, this reduces her 'output' during the day. If she goes back to kibble she will poop in the house non-stop.
Adoption fee: $50
As a rescue, we provide the care, procedures and testing that is available to us. Adopters will be responsible for continued preventatives, follow-up appointments, and medications (if applicable). At times, adopters will be responsible for procedures not completed in rescue (dentals, bloodwork, etc.)
Your new dog will receive their rabies and distemper vaccine.
$50 discount for seniors (65+) and veterans. Adoption fees help pay for the dog's veterinary exam, vaccinations (rabies and distemper) HW test and spay/neuter if needed and additional health needs specific to each animal.
Grey Face Rescue does not adopt outside of Minnesota for now. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We do not adopt animals to families whose current pets are not up-to-date on vaccinations or not altered. Exceptions may be made for medical reasons as stated by a veterinarian and we will require proof of that recommendation. Thank you for understanding our mission to reduce overpopulation.
Once you submit your application, our adoption manager will be in touch, so please check your spam folder if you do not see something from us within 7-10 days.
Thank you again for your interest in a Grey Face senior. We appreciate your support!
