About Lillie

Lillie is a large, friendly dog with striking curls running down her back and a sweet, open face that tends to win people over. She gets along well with other dogs and cats, and has handled visiting children without any issues. Lillie became available for adoption after her owner's passing and has taken well to a life with more green grass and open space, especially enjoying swimming and dock-diving for toys. She loves outdoor activity – especially retrieving and splashing around. She’s house trained, rides well in the car, and does well on leash except when particularly excited, as she’s strong enough to need a steady hand. She grew up in a home with a fenced yard and wading pool. Lillie likes company, and would be happiest with at least one other dog, unless someone is home most of the time. She’s used to sticking close to her people off-leash and just wants to be involved in what’s going on. Lillie is spayed and her vaccines are up to date. Ready to meet your new best friend?
