Lissie: 
Lissie is a 3 to 4 year old female that came to ABC with what is believed
to be one of her puppies. (Mae) She is a medium sized (49lbs) red and white She
is very sweet and calm and only wants to be in your lap all the time. She would
do well in a home where she got lots of special treatment, and love and
cuddling. She spent her short years as a breeder and outside in a kennel with
little to no human interaction. She can be timid if you raise your voice, so be
sure that all training is done with positive reinforcement only. She is crate
trained, and house trained. Doesn't mind a bath and gave no problems getting her
nails trimmed. The house training must be reinforced for a while, as she has
never been taught not to just go whenever she has to, but to go outside first.
So, if in the process of the adoption, she has a slip up or two, be patient with
her, and encourage her to go outside. She will settle into a routine, and it
should be no problem! She does well with other dogs, cats (although she does
chase occasionally) and children are her favorites! She loves just to be babied
and even enjoyed being dressed up a little by our daughter in a fancy scarf. She
is not spoiled or pushy, but she relishes the attention, as she has had so
little positive in her life. She has learned to walk well on a leash (harness
recommended) and enjoys getting outside in the fresh air.
