About Dalilah

Dalilah is a spayed female Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier mix in Gilberts, IL with a playful streak and a strong sense of duty when it comes to keeping squirrels and bunnies in line. At about 64 pounds, she splits her time between patrolling the yard and flopping down for a solid nap. After raising her puppies (who’ve all found homes), Dalilah is ready to enjoy the good life herself. She’s completely house trained—no accidents, no fuss. Walks and tennis balls make her day, and she especially loves kids, especially if snacks are involved. If she borrows your stuffed animals, she’ll claim it’s for comfort, but there might be a little mischief in those eyes. She’s not a fan of car rides, and cats are definitely not her cup of tea, as her protective instincts kick in. Dalilah gets along with most dogs and isn’t shy about bringing a little excitement to a household. She’s even a surprisingly good swimmer. If you’re looking for a companion who keeps things interesting, Dalilah may just be the one. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
