Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lily is a sweet nine or ten-year-old Maltese. She lost her home when her owner died. She only has a few teeth, so she will have to eat canned food from now on. She loves eating the Farmer's Dog food that was recently donated to us, and seems to love all canned food and deli turkey. She came into our care with what we believe to be her sister, and both pups are in a great foster home. Their foster mom has observed that in a home environment, the pups do not seem bonded, and in fact, will fight over food, so she thinks they would be happiest in separate homes. Lily is good on a leash and enjoys walks, but is also happy running around our fenced area and enjoys being carried and held. Lilly weighs about 7 lbs.
Lily can be very pushy with other dogs, so we think she would be happiest as an only dog. She loves sleeping in bed with her foster mom now that she is settled in. She does startle easily, which we think might be due to her losing some of her hearing. Lily always poops and pees when you take her outside, but will also pee inside sometimes. Her foster mom is working on this by rewarding her with a treat whenever she goes to the bathroom outside. She is very food motivated and seems to be learning, and she will also use a pee pad.
Lily's adoption fee is $250. If she is adopted by a senior, her adoption fee will be waived.
If you are interested in adopting Lily, please fill out our dog adoption application here: http://medfieldshelter.com/adopt.
Every dog we place is vaccinated, wormed, treated for ticks/fleas, and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash.
With very few exceptions, dogs are happiest and the most well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families who are willing to make a commitment to both.
All adoption meetings are by appointment only as we only have two employees. Our manager or one of our volunteers will be happy to set up an appointment for you to come meet the pets, but please fill out the adoption application first.
