Lydia in MO

The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at 'https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application.<br/>Phone interviews do not take place til after an approved application is on file and we have a possible match for your home<br/><br/>My name is Lydia. I am 6 years old and weigh 29 pounds and trying to lose a few pounds. I need a new home because I was released from a breeder. I am being fostered in Higginsville MO.<br/> <br/>After spending my life as a breeder everything about the world is still new to me and very scary at times. I can be very skittish and nervous. Loud sounds and sudden movements cause me to freeze or scramble. At my core, I'm a goofy, happy girl who loves to run around, especially with my stuffy in my mouth. I love to snatch clothes, shoes or towels when you're not looking and run with them. I don't chew up anything. Every day I'm becoming a little braver, a little more confident, relaxed (especially on the couch snuggling by you), and a lot more fun and sillier.<br/><br/>Because I'm still learning that people are kind, I can be a little startled if hands move toward me too quickly. Once I realize you're there to give me love, I'm all about the pets and affection.<br/><br/>I'm good with other dogs as long as they stay out of my face at first. I'm not a player yet, but I think that will be in my future. I have gained so much confidence by following my foster sibling's lead. Because of that, a home with a friendly, calm dog to help me continue learning how fun life can be would be great. I'd also enjoy someone is home often to keep my progress in learning new things.<br/><br/>If you take me outside often, I have no accidents in the house. I need you to stay outside in the yard with me. I am good in my crate with lots of blankets while I'm left alone and sleeping for the night.<br/><br/>My perfect home at this time is low activity, a calm dog to help teach me life is good, slowly introduce me to new things, including learning to go on walks and lots of cuddle-time on the couch.<br/> <br/>Here's a little more about me:<br/>Housetrained? no<br/>Leash-trained? no<br/>Rides well in car? yes<br/>Good with other dogs? yes<br/>Good with cats? not tested, but probably<br/>Good with young children? no - fast movements scare me at this time<br/>Good with strangers? yes<br/>Shy or confident? shy<br/>Barks? no<br/>Apartment qualified? no<br/>Any Special needs or Health Issues? needs to lose a few pounds<br/> Additional Comments: $325<br/><br/>The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at ''https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application.<br/><br/>All our dogs are spayed/neutered (if six months and older), up to date on rabies and distemper, heartworm tested, and microchipped.
