Vet/Medical Info: Lilly received all of her vaccinations in October 2010, they are good until 10/22/11. That includes the rabies. She is spayed but not tested for heartworm as she was only 11 months old. This is not what the owner said and the office said maybe the dog is on HW medication by the owner. The dog is very healthy and they had no info about her eyesight.

Owner Info: DOB 6/15/2010. Lilly was rescued from animal control when she was four months old,  she is now a large dog, weighing about 75 pounds. When she is afraid, she just lays down and won't move. Her owner is an older lady with serious back problems and doesn't have anyone to help her with Lilly so everyday life and outings in the car, to the vet and any new situation are very hard as Lilly is terrified. Lilly is still growing so this problem will get worse. She is on Petfinder and Craigslist but there has been no serious interest so far. She takes time to adjust to any new surroundings until she feels safe. In daylight Lilly has trouble with depth perception and objects that are far away. In dim light she has to wait for her eyes to adjust, such as going outside at night. She will stop at the open door. With very low light she cannot see at all. Her vision seems to be getting worse as she gets older. Other than her eyes, she is in excellent health. Lilly loves other dogs and will follow another dog without any problems, having a doggie friend would help her. Her owner tried having another dog but two big dogs was just too much work for her. Lilly in an indoor dog with the run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained. She knows commands such as Sit Down, Heel, Walk, Come and Go pee pee. She is better with women than men and loves children, dogs, cats and other small animals.  Her owner can assist with transport to Spring City.
