Lollipop is quite the sweetie. She's very gentle with both people and other dogs. This gal out in the yard at the shelter wanted nothing other than to chill, get a few head scratches, and explore the yard. She wasn't into fetch but was into nap time.
The shelter medical team did state that this gal has severe bilateral hip dysplasia (collapse of disc space t-10-11, spondylosis present in L2-3, 4-5-5-6). Lolli arrived to her foster in Virginia on September 28th. Since then we've learned that she is potty/house trained and loves to lay on the dog bed or the couch. She must've had some trauma regarding food because she refuses to get excited about meal time, and will not eat in the kitchen. She will eat the entire bowl if the foster sits next to her. If the resident GSD gets near her, she will abandon her food and go lay down. She is very docile, gets along with dogs and kids and loves nap time. She hates the crate. However, she will go in the crate when she needs some space or alone time but only if the door is open. She does fine in the car as long as she hasn't eaten before the ride. She did try to escape when she first arrived, but since getting comfortable she has had no interest in leaving.
