About Lily Lab

Lily Lab is a black Lab mix who has grown up at the rescue and is ready for her first real home after years in a structured environment. At 3 years and 4 months old, Lily brings a calm, medium energy to the table, and she has a gentle, shy way about her. She’ll need some patience as she acclimates, but once she trusts you, she forges a deep, lasting bond. Lily relishes her daily walks and would make a steady walking companion for someone who appreciates routine. She’s most comfortable in an adult-only household and will thrive where daily rhythms are predictable and quiet. She’s not a candidate for a home with cats and, while she can sometimes get along with other dogs, she may prefer being the only pet—or will need careful introductions to future canine siblings. Lily is spayed and vaccinated, and waiting in Olney, IL to leave the rescue life behind. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
