About Delilah

Delilah is a sturdy, big pup who would rather belly up to the couch than chase after a ball. When temperatures drop, she’s happiest snuggled beside her people, perfectly content watching TV and soaking up the warmth. Affection runs deep with Delilah; her loyalty is matched only by her love for kisses and quiet companionship. Her story’s taken a few detours. After being adopted from Williamson County Regional Center, she was left behind in Lago Vista and has since bounced between rescues and foster homes. Through it all, Delilah has stayed gentle and trusting, waiting patiently for a permanent family to call her own. She gets along well with other dogs and absolutely loves kids. Born on May 27 (making her a compassionate Gemini), she weighs in as a large girl with a short, bicolor coat who is fully house trained, spayed, and current on vaccinations. Someone out there is meant for Delilah, she’s just waiting to meet them. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
