About LILLY

LILLY is the sweetest little 1-year-old, 7.8 pound Maltese who was surrendered to us. She has silly hair and funny eyes (we will discuss a little further down) that only add to her overall cuteness. It is apparent that LILLY was not handled much before we got her. She is not used to being picked up but slowly and with trust she is doing so much better. It may take you a minute to convince her to let you pick her up but once you do she settles nicely and enjoys being petted. She needs a family who will work with her on this and get her more used to it. She is a funny and curious little girl who is definitely in her puppy stage. You shouldn't be surprised to see her casually walking by with something in her mouth that she shouldn't have! LILLY loves other dogs and will do best in a home with another small one her size that she can play with and that can help her gain confidence with people. She was shy at first but is learning how to play with the dogs in her foster home and she loves it! She also loves playing with toys and loves having lots of dog appropriate things to play with and chew on. We have not had her around cats or kids. LILLY is learning potty training but she still has some work to do. She likes to go outside with the other dogs but she is not one to go out on her own. She is not leash trained and we are requiring a home with a fenced yard, especially since she is still getting comfortable being picked up. At night LILLY sleeps at the foot of the bed and is happy and playful with the other dogs on the bed until everybody settles in to go to sleep. When we got LILLY, we were told that she had 'different' eyes and when you look at her it's obvious. We took her to our vet for an exam and found that her third eyelid stays exposed. She has no problems with her sight and is not bothered by it at all. Per our vet it is a cosmetic issue and there is no reason for her to have surgery. LILLY has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, spayed, heartworm negative, has had a 12 month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.
