Lilly, Labrador Retriever For Adoption In Newport, Kentucky

Location:

Newport, KY

Description:

Surviving a puppy mill is a hard obstacle for most dogs to overcome. It has a lasting effect on their learning and behavoir. Little changes throw them. It takes the longer to adjust and get comfortable with everyday things that most dogs take in stride. Lily is a survivor. She hasn’t had the comforts other dogs enjoy. But she has a wonderful, gentle spirit. She is now learning to appreciate the love and attention she deserves. Her first night with us was fun watching her discover all the strange things in her new environment. She seemingly has never seen a cat before. She was shocked to find four very friendly ones in her new room. She barked at them at first but showed no aggression towards them. Once they proved to be no threat, she was fine having them rub all over her. She walks well on a leash, but unexpected noises easily spook her. She has not had much human contact and didn’t understand pets and hugs from us. But by the end of the the first evening, she was curled up on the couch beside me, letting me scratch her head. She absolutely must have a securely fenced in yard to play in. She is very much a flight risk. She’s also still a puppy and has had no basic training that I can tell. But she very smart and seems eager to learn. She’s been going on puppy pads and when I take her out. She’s had a couple of accidents but kept her kennel clean and neat all night. And she was quiet and well behaved all night as well. She met SAAP alum Tilly and loved her, tail up and wagging as hard as she could. So a dog friend would be perfect for her.

As part of that contract, should you no longer be able to keep the animal for any reason, the animal MUST be surrendered back to SAAP. This is to ensure the animal is placed back in foster care while we secure a new approved home for the animal. However, we always try to ensure that the initial placement is best for the pet and your family. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption.Shelter locationPetco - Crescent SpringsSAT 11 AM – 2PM575 Clock Tower Way, Crescent Springs, KY 41017 PetSmart - NewportSAT 11 AM – 2PM156 Pavilion ParkwayNewport, KY 41071 Petco – Five MileSAT 11 AM – 2PM7769 Five Mile Road, Cincinnati, OH 45230 Petco – WintonSAT 11 AM – 2PM8525 Winton Road, Cincinnati, OH 45231 PetSmart - OakleySAT 11 AM – 2PM3401 Alamo Ave, Cincinnati, OH Pet Supplies Plus - DelhiSAT 11 AM – 2PM 5124 Delhi Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45238
