Lillypad Currently in foster care and available for adoption! Found on the streets of Philly, Lilly came to ACCT Philly with a torn ear and jaw injury and lacerations. This poor baby-girl underwent multiple surgeries, was brave and stoic through it all, and is healing up so well! Lillypad is about 57 pounds and was estimated to be four years old, a pit bull terrier/mix. She is spayed, micro-chipped, vaccinated, and ready to find her forever home. As her foster mom, I can give a fair amount of information on Lilly. First off, she is very well potty-trained. She hasn't had any accidents and will always wait patiently to do her business outside. She loves, loves, loves to go for walks and she walks well on a leash. No matter what the weather, she seems to really come alive on her walks. In the house she prefers to lounge and she makes nests in her kennel, where she seems content to stay while I'm at work. I'd say Lilly is a bit of a diva! She has a great personality but has some quirks, probably due to some trauma from whatever caused her injuries, and whatever else happened in her past. She likes having her own space. She seems to be fearful of men and of children. Since she is naturally sweet, and very attentive to humans, I think she could work through these issues but it would take a patient person willing to take that journey with her. Lilly is a naturally polite adult dog, but it's not clear that she's had training in understanding commands. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone who is not familiar with rehabilitating rescue dogs. She seems to be the kind of dog who really attaches to one person, like some border collies do, for example. I think that slowly introducing her to more people and new situations will be the best course of action. She has the makings of a really great companion pup in her and just needs some encouragement letting those qualities shine. I am able to arrange meetings with Lillypad most evenings, Sundays, and Mondays. Direct message me to schedule, or email me at 1stgreenisgold@gmail.com Adoption will go through ACCT Philly. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACCT/Dog
