New Foster Dog: Lilo

We got our newest foster dog yesterday. Her name is Lilo. She's a Staffordshire Terrier, one of the smaller lines of 'pit bulls'. She's about 35lbs.

The initial greeting with our dogs and cat went very well. She was a little slow to come through the front door, so I had to carry her in, but she's beginning to understand that this is her safe place. She is loving and gentle.

She is available for adoption from Rugaz Rescue, Inc.

She just got spayed and is undergoing slow-kill heart-worm treatment. We don't have all the details yet, but we'll be in touch with Rugaz to find out more.

Between the time I wrote this and the time I got it published, I found out that she'll be transitioning from the slow-kill to the fast-kill version of heart-worm treatment. It's generally considered a harsher treatment, but it gets the issue resolved and lets her go unencumbered into her forever home.

Here are a couple of pictures I took this morning. I hope to supplement them with some of her and Houdini, the cat.
