About Tilly

Meet Tilly, a sweet American Foxhound recently rescued from a shelter in Virginia. After being part of an animal control seizure involving ten hounds back in February, she's been patiently awaiting her forever home. Tilly adores people, gets along well with other dogs, and is even learning to accept cats into her life. True to her hound nature, Tilly loves the outdoors and enjoys her walks, but she is just as content lounging indoors, especially during the hot summer days. At around 45 pounds and about 3 years old, she displays the typical charm of a hound — always wearing a smile and showing joy at being free from the shelter. Though she was previously used as a hunting dog, she’s ready to chase new adventures in a loving home. If Tilly has caught your eye, reach out to us today!
