Lily Bell

Meet Lily Bell, a very sweet 15-month-old black Labrador Retriever looking for her loving forever home. She’s a fairly petite girl at ~ 50-55 lbs. Lily Bell has been raised in our service dog training program and has learned many of her basic skills: sit, down, wait, here (hand target), let’s go, touch, and kennel. She is crate-trained and travels well.<br/><br/>Lily Bell is sweet, gentle, friendly, and affectionate. She likes to be near her people, without being too demanding of their attention. <br/><br/>She’s easy to have around the home requiring some, but minimal, supervision, and can settle nicely.<br/><br/>Lily Bell, unfortunately, cannot remain in our training program due to a diagnosis of hip dysplasia, although she is not experiencing any issues at this time. What does this mean? She will have a high risk of developing OA at a younger-than-average age. She will require a family that will provide her with what she needs to postpone those issues and continue to live a robust life, such as supplements, proper weight management, and appropriate exercise to maintain good muscle tone. <br/><br/>Lily Bell walks pretty nicely on a leash. She does like to sniff, is interested in new things, and curious about new surroundings. She will do best with an experienced handler.<br/><br/>Lily Bell enjoys other dogs and would be OK with another appropriate dog in the home. It will be important that any dog interactions/play are monitored and appropriate for maintaining her hip health. A calm, mature dog would be a good match.<br/><br/>Lily Bell has displayed that she loves the water and would be really happy with a family that can provide her with the opportunity to enjoy that. And swimming is a great low-impact exercise for her. She likes to learn and be mentally stimulated and would likely enjoy a dog sport such as nose work. <br/><br/>Lily Bell would like a family that will provide her with structure/routine, have plenty of time to interact with her, provide mental stimulation, lots of long walks, as well as other appropriate physical exercise.<br/><br/>Lily Bell’s adoption fee is $1,500. If you think that she sounds like a good match for you, please send an email to info@summitdogs.org (no phone calls, please) to request an application or ask questions.
