About Lilly

Click apply to start the adoption process. Lilly is a friendly and affectionate 5-year-old, medium-sized black Labrador Retriever mix located in Piedmont, OK. Spayed and up to date on vaccinations, Lilly weighs 65 lbs and has a short black coat. She is dog and cat friendly, house trained, and kennel trained. Lilly loves belly rubs and thrives on social time with people, although she does not get along with children and would do best in an adult-only home. She enjoys both playtime with other dogs and relaxing on the couch, showing a great balance of energy and calmness. Lilly already knows commands like sit, lay down, and shake, and she reliably lets you know when she needs a potty break. She is currently working on perfecting her leash walking and respecting personal space, especially when she's excited. It’s important to note that Lilly has a bite history; she once nipped at a boy in a shelter when he was in her face and does not appreciate fast movements. Because of this, she needs to be adopted by someone with experience who understands her boundaries and her need for a calm, child-free environment. Lilly would make a wonderful companion for adults who are ready to provide guidance, structure, and affection to a loyal, loving dog. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
