About Lilly
Lilly is the sweetest, kindest, loving and most beautiful soul you could ever meet. She looks at you with adoring eyes and is happiest when she is sitting next to her human.
Lilly would be happy as an only dog if her humans are home most of the time, or to share a family with another small dog who is willing to play with her, as she is enjoying playing with her mini schnauzer foster brother. She does love to cuddle up with her foster brother of a night time too.
Lilly is perfect for a family of cat lovers, as she totally ignores them.
Lilly has epilepsy. This means that she will require medication for the rest of her life. Her condition is stable and she is expected to lead a normal, healthy life. Lilly will also require blood tests once a year. BUT Lilly is so worth these small inconveniences.
Lilly's previous owners were not consistant with her medications, so she had a major seizure four months ago, but since Homelesshounds rescued her, and she was put on proper medications, she has not had one seizure and there is no reason to believe she will.
Lilly is happy to share meal times, play times, sleep times and anything else really, as she is so easy going.
Lilly travels well in the car and is walking well on the lead. She is easy to live with and is quite a character.
Lilly has a heart of gold, she ignores cats and birds and just wants to find her forever family who she will love wholeheartedly.
Lilly is very cute and has a cheeky spark in her eye!
Medical notes
Special Needs: Lilly is epileptic and requires her medication, twice a day, 12 hours apart. Her condition is stable and easily handled. Lilly's adopter will receive a 6 months supply of her medications.
Lilly also has some mild brain damage which has affected her hearing, although she can hear, where the sound is coming from, can often be a mystery to Lilly.
Adoption details
Once the animal is advertised candidates for adoption are requested to fill in a form.
The adoption questionnaire form asks where the animal will sleep, details of people and other animals in the home, training and exercise plans etc. We use this form as part of our screening process.
If we like what we read and the animal’s individual needs are met we then conduct an informal phone interview.
Then the potential adopter meets the animal at the carers home or the carer may choose to take the animal to the adopter’s home to do a house and yard inspection.
If the adopter meets the animal at the carer’s home a house/yard inspection is done after the meet.
When the yard inspection is done we are able to further evaluate the suitability of the candidate to adopt.
If we are satisfied that the animals needs will be met by the adopter and that they are a good match for one another then a trial period may begin.
We have legally binding pre-adoption forms which allow us to remove the animal from the home if all other solutions to issues have failed.
We have a good support base which adopters can utilise if needed, such as a professional trainer, a behaviourist, vets and a groomer.
Homeless Hounds offers support to our adopters for the life of the animal. It is policy that each adopter is aware that if the ever need help or to rehome the animal then HH wants to facilitate that.
Our procedures are based on advice from "model" and well established rescue groups and trial and error.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
