Lilly is a 40 pound, 7.5 month old suspected Border Collie mix who was adopted from a shelter as a tiny puppy then was returned when they “didn’t have time”. No less than 8 volunteers donated their time to get her to the safety of Mo-Kan’s care.
Lilly is the world’s softest puppy. She loves every person and dog she meets. She lights up when she sees children. She was a model citizen at Kansas City’s Dogtoberfest, an outdoor event filled with hundreds of people passing by with their leashed dogs.
Lilly has been in MO-Kan’s foster care since October 15th. She is great with eye contact, adapts quickly to new situations, is treat motivated and very eager to please. She knows her name, sits for treats and comes when called. She was instant friends with her 2 canine housemates. She mostly ignores the boring 12 year old dog and respects the gentle authority of the 3 year old dog who loves to plays rough and tumble with Lilly. Lilly would do best with a playful doggie housemate or a person who works from home and can take her on a few brisk walks daily. When her exercise needs are fulfilled, she is a medium energy dog who sleeps quietly in a crate overnight.
Currently, Lilly is crated with a mid-day break while her foster is at work. She hasn’t had potty accidents in the house while supervised and let out on a routine. She would do best with a fenced yard (any height) and a dog friend of any kind. We have not observed her around cats. With some more basic manners and leash training and a routine, she will become a model “family dog”.
Lilly is being fostered in the Kansas City, MO area.
