About Lily

Lily landed in the shelter after her stray hold ran out with nobody stepping up to claim her, though staff did eventually find her former owner. She's a big, beautiful yellow lab and pit bull mix, an easygoing senior at nine years with a sweet, steady vibe. Lily isn't one to play model for the camera—pet her neck, though, and you get that classic, exaggerated head tilt every time. She soaks up attention, always leaning in for affection. Her personality straddles both breeds: a little alert and eager like a pit, but mostly the goofy, loving, lab temperament. Sheds a bit too, as most labs do. She’s not been formally tested with other dogs, cats, or small kids yet, so slow intros are best. Lily is house trained, spayed, vaccinated, and ready for someone to give her the attention she craves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
