About Lilley Kay

Lilley Kay is a mid-size black Lab mix with a gentle spirit and deep reserves of affection. Now about five years old, she found herself in tough circumstances—rescued as a stray while caring for her puppies—but she’s come out the other side healthy, settled, and ready for a new chapter in Houston, TX. Lilley Kay is house trained and has great home manners: she confidently uses a dog door, isn’t destructive, and just might curl up with a sock or shoe for comfort, never chewing on them. She takes correction well and seems to genuinely enjoy being part of the household. She gets along well with other dogs and gravitates toward loyal companionship. Lilley Kay can be a bit reserved with strangers or in new situations but opens up quickly with patience, revealing a truly affectionate side. There’s still a playful side to her, too—she can sprint around with surprising speed—but she’s happiest curled up with her people for snuggles. Kennel and potty trained, fully vaccinated, and spayed, Lilley Kay is eager for a family to call her own. She’s a good fit for those seeking a calm presence who still knows how to have fun.
