Lilly is good in the car, but is anxious; she dislikes/fears loud noises such as thunder and gunshots. Lilly's guardian adds: "She is Ball or Frisbee fanatic. It's all she wants to do. A friend told me it's a sign of working dog . A complete stranger could Walk up to Lilly hand her a ball and she would accept them . That's how I introduce her to others. Being a Shepherd she is very protective. I take her for walks on the Antietam battlefield the closer we get to cars people or dogs the more anxious she gets to the point that I avoid confrontation. My son hugs me and you can see her unrest. She has the anxiety of wheels. Especially byclcles. She did a year ago knock a byclicelest over on the C.O canal.didnt attack him though. We did go through 4 months of professional training.once a week 2yrs ago. She knows All the commands She is very smart, but training was cut short because my wife had a heart attack. We did board her at a large kennel 3 times when we went on vacation. She was kept away from other dogs. She is fine with them and at the vets when neither of us are around. She loves to swim as I have taken her to Antietam creek numerous times. I believe in the pack mentality and think she's not been totally broken of it. She listens to me but I just don't trust her and I have grandkids and friends and just can't risk it anymore." Lilly's guardian explains why he has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "I don't trust her that she won't commit another bite or someone or another dog or animal, especially when I'm not around." BITE INCIDENTS: In April 2022 and in May 2023, Lilly bit a neighbor's dog and guardian's son's friend. Guardian explains: "Neighbor's 2 small dogs were on the property border and Lilly attacked one and the dog was treated by the vet. [My] son's friend, visiting, got close and she bit leg (nip bite on butt and teeth bite on back of leg); treated by us, not by doctor; both incidents were reported to the humane society." Lilly's guardian states the following regarding children/dogs/cats: Lilly lives with a cat and parrot, but hasn't lived with children or dogs, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with anyone but an adult. Lilly's guardian describes her as: Very active Playful Independent Protective Always at your side Indoor dog Outdoor dog Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained Lilly's guardian describes her ideal future home: "I believe Lilly would be best suited for an individual.
