Lili Lili Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: medium Potty training: fully trained Fenced yard: not required Shared walls: suitable People: all, including children Dogs: good but ok as the only dog  Other: dietary management for GI health ongoing; slight weight management needed   Overview Meet Lili, a 4-year-old red short-coat dachshund mix with a gentle heart, a love of sunshine, and an impressive kiss-to-cuddle ratio. She was surrendered by her owner who could no longer care for her, and she is ready for the cozy, loving home she deserves. At 24 lbs and working toward her ideal weight, Lili is a soft, affectionate companion who loves plushy blankets, leisurely sniff walks, and sunbathing on the balcony. She is, in her foster's words, a great companion.   Environment Lili is fully house trained and beautifully calm when home alone. She does not need a yard and is quiet enough for apartment or shared-wall living. She loves her walks and is great on leash. One heads-up for outdoor time: Lili has a prey drive for small critters like squirrels, lizards, and iguanas, so she should be kept on leash outdoors. She is settled and comfortable in the car and does well in her booster seat.   Pets & People Lili is social and affectionate with people, greeting everyone with a wagging tail and kisses. She is welcoming with strangers, seeks out interaction, and has been tested with children with great results. Lili previously lived with her adult daughter Lulu and coexisted fine, but her foster has noticed she seems happier and more relaxed as the only pet. She would do best in a home with a very calm easygoing dog as a companion and would also be fine as an only dog. Around food and treats, Lili is gentle and patient. She gets excited but knows how to wait her turn.   Health & Special Needs Lili has some GI issues, and is being transitioned from a veterinary monitored home cooked fish diet to a sensitive stomach dog food. Lili is also a few pounds above her ideal weight, and her vet has recommended she lose 3 to 4 more lbs. Regular walks and mindful feeding will take care of that.   Location Lili is available for adoption from Coral Springs, FL.
