ABOUT THIS ANIMAL; Notes from the foster:

At first I was afraid! I was petrified! I didn’t know how my pups and I would manage to survive! But then HT saved the day and to safety we got away and we survived; we really thrived! Time for homes!! 😍

Lilibet is the sweetest chiweeni mom ever. She gave birth at a shelter to 5 puppies but only she and two puppies survived to be rescued by HT. Once her immediate needs were taken care of and she and pups were warm and safe she totally blossomed. She’s gentle but timid and needs time to warm up to people. She’s afraid of big dogs but is friendly to small dogs like her (27 pounds). She’s a bit afraid of cats but warms up quickly if they are friendly. She loves to go for ambles along wood lines where she can sniff and poop! She goes for short walks at this time and is very gentle on the leash. She dances and play bows when she knows she’s going for a walk. She’s housebroken but will use a pee pad if there’s any schedule upset. She’s absolutely sweet, adorable and gentle with her pups and so snuggly and affectionate with her foster mom. She loves her squeaky toys! She’s a very easy yet smart dog who easily communicates what she wants. Her two pups are Duke and Victoria.
