General Notes | Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Personality | Lilah is a goofy, floppy, bouncy love bug! She adores attention and will gently give kisses if prompted. Lilah thrives being around people and other dogs and will become your shadow as you move throughout the house. Although she is only 4 months, she does NOT have the typical puppy energy, and is genuinely content laying at your feet or laying on the couch beside you. She gets occasional bursts of playful energy, especially first thing in the morning, or after dinner, but they are short and her attention span is even shorter. Lilah is still very clumsy, and falls over herself regularly. When she does get excited, she will "scooby doo" her way across a hard surface floor, sometimes crashing into things. Story | Lilah was found as a stray in Texas, subsequently spending several weeks at a shelter until Mile High was able to spring her out and get her into foster care. Nothing else is really known. She didn't seem to know much about toys or what to do with them, which may explain her short attention span with them. Other Dogs | Lilah loves other dogs. She will watch her foster sisters intently for clues on what to do with toys, bones, cows, and other things that are new to her. Although she attempts to play with them, her foster sisters are older ladies and don't care to play much. Lilah's foster mom loves that Lilah takes silent cues easily from them and won't push them to play when they are not interested. She is not a pushy puppy at all. Cats | Lilah's foster family has one 20 year old cat, which Lilah ignores and seems uninterested in getting to know. Could be that the grumpy old lady hisses at her. Lilah also seems to be uninterested in the cows at her foster home, never barks at them or runs up to them. Children | There isn't a human or animal around that Lilah wouldn't love. She's incredibly gentle and sweet. Training | Lilah is almost a blank slate in terms of training. She seems to know that sitting politely gets her what she wants, and will sit on command if you're holding a treat. Since being in her foster home, Lilah has only had 2 accidents. Both were by the door, on her first and second day. She seems to be potty trained and just needs to work out where her exit door is and how to let her people know to open it. Foster mom and dad are currently working on training her to use the dog door. Lilah is most likely crate trained due to her time at the shelter, and will willingly go into her crate with a treat. She did make a fuss when the door was closed on her first night. Since foster siblings sleep freely, foster mom and dad have decided to allow her to sleep freely as well and she does perfectly. No accidents at night, sleeps like a dream. She has recently discovered she loves sleeping in bed with the rest of the gang. Leash | Lilah seems great on a leash. She is not the overly excited type of puppy, so leash walking does not involve pulling at all. She will casually stroll alongside you leashed. Activity Level | Activity level is surprisingly low for her age. She has 15 acres to explore at her foster home, and rarely gets above a trot. She will spring into action when she's trying to catch up to her foster sisters, but otherwise she's content with a casual stroll. Indoors she gets playful in the mornings and evenings in the living room with her foster family and foster siblings, but it is short-lived. Health Notes | Lilah is very healthy and happy despite being very thin. Nothing a regular eating schedule can't fix. She has not experienced any car sickness during her car rides, and she has tolerated her food change from the shelter to foster care very well. Foster mom hopes she develops some muscles in her back legs soon so she will quit sliding and tripping over her giant flipper feet. Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog). Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page! We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
