Meet Lilly your new best friend (and future backyard MVP)! Lilly is an adorable ~2-year-old, 40-pound petite shepherd mix with a hint of spitz, bringing together the best of both worldsintelligence, loyalty, and a fun-loving, playful spirit. Shes incredibly smart and eager to learn, making her a wonderful match for someone who enjoys teaching, exploring, and building a strong bond with their dog. This bright, spirited girl loves games, adventures, and anything that lets her stretch her legs and curiosity. Whether its a walk in the park, a hike on a trail, or a lively play session in the yard, Lilly is happiest when shes on the move and by your side. (And as you can see, she may even have a future in basketball!) Lilly would especially love a home with a fenced yard where she can run, play, and burn off some of that happy energy. Having a safe space to zoom around and enjoy daily playtime would truly help her thrive. She has been wonderful with adults of all ages and has a friendly, social nature. Lilly is still building her experience with young children and would do best with respectful kids and proper introductions. She has shown friendly curiosity toward cats and may do well with a dog-savvy cat who can help set boundaries. Lilly appears to be both house trained and crate trained, and she does well on a leash. Like many curious, smart dogs, she can pull a bit when something exciting catches her attentionbut shes eager to learn and will benefit from continued guidance and consistency. True to her sweet nature, Lilly also has a soft, affectionate side. She absolutely adores belly rubs and will happily roll over for extra love. When the day winds down, shes all about snuggling up close and soaking in the comfort of being with her person. If youre looking for a fun, affectionate, and devoted dog who will keep you active, smiling, and loved, Lilly might just be the perfect match for you. Apply at www.caninecollective.org.
