Livvy

Meet Livvy: Professional Sniffer, Amateur Leash Walker, Full-Time Sweetheart!!<br/>(case #14185) <br/><br/>At approximately 1 to 2 years old, Livvy is a lovable bully mix who arrived as an unclaimed stray and is now searching for a family of her very own. While we don't know much about her past, we do know that her future is looking bright!<br/><br/>Livvy is a medium-energy girl who keeps her kennel tidy, loves meeting new people, and firmly believes that every stranger is just a friend she hasn't greeted yet. She's already mastered "sit" and is currently expanding her resume with "paw" and "stay." Like many young professionals, she's eager to learn and highly motivated by snacks.<br/><br/>Speaking of snacks, Livvy would happily like you to know that she considers food a love language. Treats, puzzle toys, food searches, lick mats, and sniffing games are all excellent ways to keep her busy. As a smart bully mix, she thrives when her brain gets as much exercise as her body.<br/><br/>On walks, Livvy approaches life with enthusiasm. If she catches an interesting scent, she may temporarily forget she's attached to a human and begin following her nose with great determination. Loose-leash walking is definitely on her "to-do" list, and she'd benefit greatly from continued training and consistency.<br/><br/>Livvy enjoys meeting other dogs but has started to show some resource guarding around them, particularly when valued items are involved. She prefers not to share her treasures and likes to be in charge, so she is looking for a home where she can be the one and only canine. Being the only dog will allow her to relax, avoid unnecessary conflict, and soak up all of her family's attention without competition.<br/><br/>Livvy also has a habit of expressing her affection vertically. If she's excited to see you, she may attempt to become your personal lap dog despite being considerably larger than a lap. Because of her enthusiasm and strength, she'd do best with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to interact respectfully with a larger, energetic dog.<br/><br/>Livvy is a strong, athletic girl who will thrive with physically capable, experienced owners who are committed to continuing her training and providing clear, consistent boundaries. She's intelligent, eager to learn, and responds well to positive reinforcement, making her an excellent candidate for someone who enjoys building a partnership with their dog.<br/><br/>At the end of the day, Livvy is exactly what many people are looking for: friendly, affectionate, fun-loving, and ready to build a strong bond with her family. She has all the ingredients to become an amazing companion—she just needs a home that understands her needs and is willing to invest a little time, patience, and training.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you active, and love you with her whole heart, Livvy is ready to leave shelter life behind and start her next adventure with you.<br/><br/>Please complete an adoption request to meet Livvy!<br/><br/>Bonus Livvy fact: She currently believes every smell within a three-kilometre radius deserves immediate investigation. Training may convince her otherwise... maybe.<br/><br/>https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions<br/><br/>Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only.
