Lilo came into rescue after being picked up as a stray by the local humane society and is estimated to be between 2 and 4 years old. She is undergoing some medical treatment and we are getting to know her. She loves humans and to play ball!! This girl will need her very own home once proper vetting is done.
From her foster mom:

Lilo loves everyone--adults, kids, babies, men, women, teens, no preferences whatsoever, she LOVES people.  I brought her to work with me and she made numerous friends with her happy demeanor and wiggle butt. She encountered a baby and was enchanted and kissed the baby as much as she was allowed. 
She is medium drive, medium energy for  mal, enjoys ball and tries to shove a ball into your hand when she's wanting to play. She settles down easily after a play period.  
She is housebroken and crate trained. She sleeps in her crate, but wants the door open. She would prefer to sleep in bed with her humans, but we already have two dogs doing that. She also does great with dogs, I have a male mal and a female coonhound. The only caveat is that she tried "herding" them, and they didn't like it and let her know immediately.  Since then she has let them run by without incident.  I also have a cat, and she's learning that cats are not bad creatures, they are just interesting. She no longer chases the cat, but likes to observe and is frankly more interested in the cat's food and litter box than the cat herself.
She is highly food motivated and highly ball motivated
Bad habits: Lilo tended to pull on the leash when I first got her, but has come a long way. It seems as long as she's exercised she is fine and doesn't pull. I did buy a leash that hooks around her chest and that seemed to help.
Lilo is also a champion counter surfer. I learned early on to push any food item way back. She has not shown any sign of stopping but with enough training I'm sure this habit can be overcome. 
Litter box: Surfs the litter box for snacks. She hasn't done this recently, so maybe she has learned she's going to be fed
Shoving the ball in your hand: just being a mal!
