My husband Greg found a super-sweet mixed breed dog named Lily running around our neighborhood this morning. It turns out she belonged to someone who passed away; since then, Lily has been staying with a friend of the former owner who lives in the area but hasn't been able to manage having a dog. Thus, Lily jumps the fence and runs loose much of the time.
Another neighbor, Karin (who writes on Patch), has been trying to take care of her, and Greg wanted to foster Lily so she isn't in danger of being hit by a car or attacked by another dog. Unfortunately, our little dog Tulip turned out not to be Lily's biggest fan after some play time and we also aren't sure how Lily is with cats (and would rather not find out with one of our cats in her mouth.) We cannot manage her at this time, so Karin is continuing to help - but she cannot keep Lily.
If you are looking for a very loving dog with energy and spirit, Lily could be your soulmate. She weighs 50-60 lbs (definitely too plump for her size - she's probably been eating at multiple houses!), grey with a white flame on her chest, probably some pit/American Staffordshire or maybe boxer in her mix. She knows a few basic commands - sit, lay down, come - and she is gentle with people, rolling over to have her belly rubbed and happily sitting at your feet. She also loves to play with other dogs, but bigger is probably better - she's like a freight train in play and will knock a smaller dog over (as Tulip found out the hard way.) She has energy, so she needs someone who can walk her, play with her, and give her some structure. If we could, we would keep her. She is undeniably lovable and a good dog through and through.
Please let us know if you are interested. We really want to find her a good home. She has already known love and a family and deserves to have it again.
