Lili

Six-year-old Lili came to GRR when her family could no longer care for her. The chubby tub was badly in need of a fitness regimen, and now she is down to 80 pounds and still slowly paring off the excess avoirdupois, ounce by ounce. A svelte & sleek glamour girl is emerging!

The owner told us that Lili enjoyed playing with laser pointers, and her foster mom has noted that she likes to chase light – moving shadows, reflections on the wall, anything. “I wouldn’t put her in a home with lots of crystal or stained glass!” But what Lili loves way more than pursuing those interesting lights is KIDS. She LOVES children and just wants to be near them. She’ll play with them if they are willing, but otherwise she just settles down nearby (though watch out if there’s a board game on the floor – she’ll walk right across it!).

Lili is totally housebroken and completely reliable indoors. She grew up with another Golden, but she doesn’t really play or interact much with other dogs in her foster home—it’s the people who matter to her. As far as toys go, she has fun playing with balls—she bats them around like a cat. It’s funny!

Occasionally Lili gets a bit fed-up with her diet program and snitches food from the counters, so keeping anything tasty (that is, any food at all) well out of canine reach is a good idea.

What’s the best home for Lili? A home with kids ages 6 to 8 or older; a family who will keep up with trimming Lili down and taking her for walks so that she gets fitter; and just about anyone who wants a calm, steady friend & sweet companion.
