MEET LIVVY… a lucky “whatever she is” 3 yr old, 15 lb, white and brown liver colored Teripoo!  She would love nothing more than to sit next to you and get belly rubs all day long. This does not mean she is without energy! She loves playing fetch and gets bursts of zooming energy that take her running around the house entertaining herself. She wants to please, seems house-trained (but we never guarantee)!   

Sadly, Livvy was adopted to a home we hoped was right, but she needs a place where her people are there and don’t leave her alone.  It turns out that her new mom has to go into the office and could not take her with.   

Livvy was originally dumped in the shelter with hip dysplasia!  She was so frightened!  Poor thing, never had a haircut or handling or love 🙁  Not our typical breed, but she wasn’t getting out without help.  She was walking abnormally, so we took her to the vet and she indeed needed surgery for hip dysplasia, which she got on both hips, is good as new!! 

Livvy can be wary of new people and things, but she has gotten so much better.  SWEETNESS OVERLOAD!  All you need is patience because she is a very loving puppy. She can be fearful of new environments but she settles quickly.  However, in the home she can be jealous of other dogs, so she might need to be your one and only!   HOWEVER, if you have patience and a calm dog, after a “get acquainted period” Livvy is good!  We think she would be better in a home with kids over 8 or without kids.  She gets used to quick movements once she is in an environment she knows.  On walks, she has gotten 99% better but still may bark to say hello!!  When she came back to us, she was scared of the car and we are working on this with her.  

If you are looking for a playful, sweet, loving pup, Livvy is your girl.  Oh yeah, she LOVES men and men have been very successful with her!!  She wants to go to a home where there is her family who will dote on her.  SHE NEEDS PATIENCE AND TRAINING.  Loves her walks and likes to go out about 3-4 times a day.  She is very smart, playful and we love her!  So will you!
