About Lily

Click apply to start the adoption process. Lily is an energetic, full-throttle kind of girl who truly grabs life by the horns—or more accurately, by a big stick! She thrives on running and chasing, always seeking out the biggest stick she can find. Bursting with confidence, Lily displays a dash of bossiness and is selective about the company she keeps, preferring a quieter household with a couple of active adults who enjoy a less social home environment. She's incredibly loyal and protective, which means she can become possessive without clear boundaries, so it's important her future family establishes these from the start. Lily is a smart, athletic canine who will thrive with dog-savvy adults who have a yard and the time to provide her with plenty of love, engaging play, and ongoing training and mental stimulation. She isn’t a fan of crowded spaces or dog parks, preferring the comfort of her own territory. It is essential that only experienced, dog-savvy applicants apply for Lily. Thanks for considering adopting from The Milo Foundation Sanctuary, where dogs with a little extra personality and quirks find caring homes suited to their individual needs. With Lily’s birthday falling on October 31st, she's a spirited Scorpio—known for their passion and determination! Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
