If you’re after a playful dog who keeps things calm and doesn’t coat your shirt in drool, Lily fits the bill. This brindled German Shepherd/Border Collie mix balances loyalty and spirited energy with calm self-control. She’s comfortable around older kids and enjoys the company of some dogs, though she can be assertive if another dog tries to dominate. Cats are not her thing. Lily rarely barks unless someone’s at the door. She’ll gladly chase a tennis ball or squirrel, and chew toys never last long around her. She relishes belly rubs, food, and being among people. Loud fireworks aren’t her favorite, but thunder doesn’t faze her. Lily knows basic commands and is both house trained and puppy pad reliable. She’s clever enough to scheme for snacks, so clear counters and a firm “NO” help keep her honest. Lily is finishing up a slow heartworm treatment and currently stays with a foster family, but she’s ready to move on to a forever home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
