Lilly

Here's a happy girl, named Lilly. She came to us from the Calaveras Humane Society.  They rescued her from the Calaveras shelter. Lilly has had a hard time in her life. When she was picked up she was found to be in the early stages of pregnancy. And it clearly was not her first. Our best guess is that she has had at least three or four litters in the past.

But those days are over for her! She is now spayed, current on all her vaccinations and heartworm negative. She is very healthy and loves being here in school.

Her breeding is anyone's guess... we think maybe Husky or Elkhound and Bulldog cross. She is short but very stout and sturdy. Her tail stands straight up and wags a happy greeting in the morning or when she comes out for her lessons. She loves people and dreams of the day when she gets her own home and family.

She is learning the basic manners and obedience to he a trusted companion and pet.  Lilly knows how to walk on a loose lead. Well, mostly... but when you ask she holds a very nice heel position and will sometimes do a perfect auto-sit when you stop. But you usually have to ask her for a sit. But no matter what the exercise or lesson, she is happy just to be out and with a person.

Her happy expression says it all. If you are up for a walk she is too. All she needs is to hear the lead and collar rattle and she is ready to go.
 

Lilly would be very happy as your loyal house dog waiting for you to come home from work or school. The happy welcome home greetings are her responsibility. If a walk or petting session are in order, that is all she dreams of. She is usually tolerant of other dogs, but she would be happiest if she we the only dog. Although she enjoys romping with her roommate, Tucker.
