• 2-yr-old • Female • Border collie mix • in foster
care • Arrived 14-Feb-2008
9/3/2008 - Please help Livvy, rescued from euthanasia from Town Lake Animal Center, and now homeless again due to foreclosure on her foster mom's rental home.
Bored? Tired of your treadmill? Looking for a new hobby? Boy, do we have the dog for you! Meet Livvy, 2 years young, very smart and eager to please, but most of all a born athlete. Get out of your daily rut and join an agility group with this quick-to-learn power dog!
Don't like workouts, but have a bunch of livestock to keep in check? Livvy may be able to help you with that as well, as she has strong herding instincts that need to be channeled properly! Keep Livvy mentally and physically engaged and she'll be your best friend for life! She would do best as an only dog (she does ok with some dogs) and without cats or kids - Livvy just craves your undivided attention; no wonder after the hard life she's had. First, the stress of the local shelter - nothing to do around there!! Austin Pets Alive! rescued her from euthanasia there and put her in a foster home, then her foster-mom lost her rented home due to a foreclosure - yes, even dogs get affected by these difficult times ! So, please - help homeless Livvy TODAY!
A very special person came forward to help APA save Livvy a second time, but this is a very short-term placment where Livvy will not get the individual attention she needs and deserves. Livvy is safe for now, but she needs a real home by the end of the week. If you are interested in Livvy, email adopt@austinpetsalive.org or call 512-961-6519.
4/21/2008 UPDATE: Austin Pets Alive! and CNC Rescue have joined together to start an off-site adoption program for long-stay dogs at Town Lake Animal Center. Livvy will be the first dog in this special program. Because of her short deadline, APA has taken Livvy into one of their foster homes. Livvy is doing great there and is even getting along well with other dogs and interacting well with children. She will go to an adoption event at a local Petco or Petsmart daily until a permanent home is found.
4/14/2008 UPDATE: Livvy is having a hard time at the shelter. Her behavior is starting to deteriorate. Staff have given her a deadline of April 22 to find a home. Livvy is very responsive to strong leadership and learns quickly. She will need help learning not to be too bossy towards other dogs, and to share her treats and toys nicely. She would do best as an only dog in a home with no young children. Low cost training options will be available for Livvy.
