Story
Meet Lillie, the border collie mix! Lillie came into the Shelter as an owner surrender after her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. She lived in a home with a family including a child and cat (who took a bit of time for Lillie to coexist with). She would go for walks multiple times a day and also enjoyed playing with her dog friends. Her previous guardians described her as crate trained. Lillie is a smart cookie and already knows “sit”, “down” and “paw” (for both her left and right!). According to her previous guardian, Lillie does well riding in the car. She prefers not to be left alone and enjoys spending time with her people primarily. As companion animals, dogs often need desensitization to being left alone, especially after being adopted. Lillie’s guardians are recommended to provide mental and physical stimulation on a daily basis and work up (through gradual desensitization) to periods where she is left home alone after she has gotten her needs met for the day. In her previous home, Lillie did not love sharing her items (primarily high value chews) with people. Resource guarding is a normal behavior but does require environmental and behavior modification (for humans and dogs) to decrease chances of occurrence. Lillie is quite a cutie but would thrive with a dog-savvy adopter. Could that be you? Now through February 15th, we are hosting “Adopt Your Valentine” where adoption fees are reduced to $50. The adoption fee includes all age appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter and microchips. Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.
