About Lilya Aircraft Litter Momma

Lilya started out in Perris, CA, arriving at the rescue after her sister. By the time she was picked up, she had just given birth to ten puppies, so her earliest days were spent as a devoted mother. After some time to decompress, Lilya revealed a gentle, observant temperament. She enjoys her outdoor doghouse and pays close attention to what's happening around her, finding comfort in routine and quiet surroundings. Lilya hasn't had much exposure to leash walking or obedience training, so her adopter should be patient and ready to help her build confidence through the basics.

Lilya's personality is still emerging, and given reassurance and space, she is likely to flourish into a wonderful family dog. Her ideal home will offer steadiness, space to decompress, and someone ready to help her grow into herself. Lilya is in Imlay City, MI. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
