If you followed us in Fall/Winter 2024, you may recognize this beautiful girl. Lilo was a former Brown Paws pup known as “Feldspar”, adopted out at just 4 months old. Unfortunately, her owner was no longer able to keep her, and was turned into the shelter as a stray. We picked her up as soon as her stray hold was released, and promised her that this time, will be different. Lilo is about 1.5 years old and is a unique and stunning mix of what appears to be Cattle Dog/Pharoah Hound/Pitty mix. Would be cool to see a DNA test!!! She is currently on medical hold while she decompresses, gains healthy weight, and recovers both physically and emotionally from being abandoned. She arrived back to us in very poor condition and is finishing up a heat cycle; she is scheduled for her spay on 1/23. After surgery and recovery, she will be ready for meet & greets and adoption events. We felt that after everything she's endured, she deserved a new name to mark a fresh start and second chance. Her foster chose “Lilo", inspired by the movie Lilo & Stitch and the quote: “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” Once you're part of the Brown Paws family, you are always part of the Brown Paws family — and Lilo is living proof of that. Lilo has been slowly reintroduced to life with other dogs and is loving making friends with her foster siblings. She does well with kids, and we were told she previously lived with a cat; we can cat test upon request to confirm. She is currently working on crate training, potty training, leash manners, and basic obedience. She is very food motivated and truly wants to please her people. She is up to date on vaccines and monthly preventatives, and she's blossoming a little more each day. Sweet Lilo is learning that she is safe, loved, and home again — and soon, she'll be ready to find her forever family who will never leave her behind. Stay tuned... her second chance story is just beginning. **Dog breeds listed are best guesses from veterinary professionals, they are never a guarantee. www.brownpawsrescue.com.
