I'm Tilly! Two years old and 55 pounds, 23 inches of knee-high perfection. I'm stocky like a beagle but I don't howl, and I am sprinkled with the most gorgeous multicolored spots, and yes... I've been told I'm simply beautiful. I humbly agree. Toys are my love language. Especially squeaky ones. Give me a basket and I'll curate my own play session, bouncing from toy to toy like it's my job. Frozen Kongs? Elite. Chew sticks? Absolutely. Keeping my brain (and jaws) busy makes me very happy. And I am becoming an expert at my new fave - puzzle games! During the day I like to go, go, go - I haven't yet gotten the memo that dogs are supposed to sleep a lot - but in the afternoons and evenings, I power down like a champ and settle in for cozy naps. And I sleep through the night (outside my crate!) and have had just one oops - and honestly, that was a scheduling mix-up with my foster humans. I'm basically house-trained royalty. And of course given my likely heritage I love to run the yard with my nose in the air, catching scents like the little explorer I am. Adventure is my middle name. I can't use my words so I can't say specifically how I was raised, but all of us at my foster house are pretty sure I was a hunting dog who totally missed out on my puppyhood - so I am soaking up the world with joyful enthusiasm and making up for lost time. I'm still polishing a few skills in my foster home aka finishing school - we think this is my first rodeo with being a family dog, so I am still perfecting my house manners. But I'm getting better every day. I'm smart. I'm eager. I want to learn. I just need someone patient, kind, and ready to guide me. The best part? I absolutely adore my people (hugs and pets are THE BEST), and I am great with other dogs. So if you're looking for a freckled, fun-sized explorer with a playful heart and a whole lot of love to give, I'm your girl. And remember - life's just better with spots. Tilly is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter.
