A QUICK NOTE FROM MY NEW FOSTER MOM!

Cali Lily rode in the front passenger seat with me and put her head in my hand most of the ride from Troy Il to Williamsville. She does not appear to like other dogs, but she is probably stressed from her travels. She warmed right up to Tom's grandson and sat in the back seat next to him giving him setter kisses when they took her to her foster home.

I AM ON MY WAY TO MY FOSTER HOME!

I don't have much time to chat. I need to get ready for my ride to my IBR foster home! I can't wait to meet everyone! I have heard that my foster mom LOVES dogs! I just hope she can keep up with me. I may be 10 but I certainly can play like a younger dog! I can't wait to live my life to the fullest!

I am only 10 years young....

Cali Lily was found as a stray. She is tri-colored and field type. We believe she is a good 10-years-old, but certainly acts much much younger. (: She seems to be a favorite amongst many of the staff.

She was not spayed when she came to us - about three weeks ago. She has since been spayed. During her surgery, she had a couple teeth pulled. The rest could use a good cleaning. She also had a small (size of a grape) skin cyst taken off her chest. She is HW negative and her stitches are now out. She has spent a lot of time in the shelter's vet clinic. The vet tech said she is her cleanest dog. I imagine, and she agreed, she has probably been living in a run her whole life. She is little - weighs only 27 pounds. She could use a couple pounds, but not much more. She is simply little.

She is VERY loving with people and will lay on her back to have her belly rubbed. She comes when called when out in the yard. She went to a groomer yesterday. We were all a tad bit shocked that her nails were (please do not shreak) neon orange when she returned. They put a big pink and orange bow on her collar as well. But she was clean and looked cute - minus the bit of punk rock. This groomer has graciously agreed to do 8-10 free grooms for our shelter per week. She is a lovely lady and loves to pamper the dogs!
