Delilah the Dog needs a home

Hi! I'm Delilah! Are you my 'pawfect match'? I've been with my foster family since December 2016 - they are really cool but I really need my own family...I'm probably a lab mix and I'm a good medium size dog -- I've been through a lot in my short little life but I'm doing great! The vet & foster mom say I developed a little slower than a typical dog, but I don't let it stop me. I run and play at my foster mommy's house and love exploring the back yard. My best friend is a big dog who lets me run into him and knock him down and let him do the same!...I am a little selective of my canine friends - not a huge fan of the really hyper ones that get in my face so if you have another dog, we'd just have to see how we get along. Maybe a home with a more mellow adult dog, one that will play with me but won't knock me down and pin me down would be ok. My back legs are sometimes a bit off balance (see background below) but it doesn't prohibit me from walking or running! I also grunt a lot - foster mommy says maybe I'm part PIG! (there's nothing wrong with me that I grunt - I just do!) I love treats and food and any toy my foster mommy gives me - I like to run around the house and yard with a toy in my mouth and pose for my picture with it. I am house trained but definitely need a schedule because I'm still young and joining a new family will be an adjustment! Foster mom wants a home for me with a fenced yard - she says I march to the beat of my own drum (whatever that means as I don't think we have any drums) and need to explore and not always have to be confined to a leash...My pawfect match is out there - my foster mommy says so - is it you?
 Background: Delilah & her littermates came to us from a rural county shelter. Delilah had an obvious issue with her head as it was oddly shaped when she arrived - she was taken to the vet where x-rays & ultrasound were  completed - it appeared she had a fluid pocket & a small skull fracture - the cause is unknown - the fluid was drained & her head returned to normal shape. There was initial concern that Delilah might have impairments including a vision impairment - however, she's been in her foster home for several months now and she functions normally - if there is any impairment it's not significant. She is a good dog who is a little goofy, always hungry and playful. She is just a bit atypical - her legs and gait are a bit off - but trust me, it doesn't slow her down - she is not going to be a running buddy for hiking any major trails - she does like to run and play as well as chill with toys or a bone on the couch - she's a special girl who deserves a special family!
