Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Watch out world, I’m looking for my forever family! My name is Lillian but I also go by “pretty girl,” “Princess Lilly” and “What Are You Eating!?” I was born with a congenital condition called PRAA: Persistent Right Aortic Arch - which means a blood vessel near my heart wrapped around my esophagus while I was in the womb. It slowly crushed the trachea and my ability to swallow. As a pup, before Underdog, I was very thin because I couldn't keep food down. I had surgery at the U of M and they removed the blood vessel. Sadly, damage had been permanently done, but we figured out the best way for me to eat - and that is standing up with my front legs higher than my back legs! It sounds complicated but I trained my people very well and they understand how to feed me without any problems. I eat Honest Kitchen and it would be best if I could stay on that because the consistency is perfect for me and it is simple to make. Sometimes I still vomit after a few hours from eating - but I just try to eat it again and help you clean that up. I also take Viagra to help with pressure and motility. Once you and I get the hang of it, it's really no big deal and impacts my daily life very little. I’m a very smart girl and I am quick at learning all the important dog things. I love to please my humans so training me will be a breeze! I am doing super well with potty training and I’m working on leash manners. I absolutely loathe my kennel and will make it very kn
