About Lily

Bonded alert: Lily and Rita are a package deal—these two tiny girls are searching for a loving home together. Lily is a 1-year-old Jack Russell blend, weighing just 4 lbs. She’s gentle, shy, and loves to snuggle close, especially with her best friend Rita. Rita brings 5 lbs of charm in a Pug-Chihuahua frame and matches Lily’s age and devotion. Both are happiest when held, and you’ll often find them curled up in their human’s bed or nestled up for a cuddle almost any hour of the day. Training comes naturally to these two: both are smart, eager to please, and reliably housetrained with regular outings. Rita knows how to sit for treats, while Lily prefers keeping tabs on her people and soaking in affection. Leash walks and car rides don’t faze them, making them easy companions. Health-wise, they’re both up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed, with just routine monthly preventatives required. Both girls get along nicely with calm dogs of all sizes and are likely to do fine with cats based on their easygoing natures. They haven’t been around children, so families with gentle, respectful youngsters would be a better fit. Apartment, condo, or a quiet house—they’ll adapt as long as they’re together and with a caring human. If your heart (and couch) have room for two, Lily and Rita are ready to bring double the joy into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
