About Tilly

Tilly has fully embraced her new indoor lifestyle after a tough start on the streets. Now, you might find her perched atop a chair, overseeing her domain, or standing proudly in a flowerpot to watch over the yard. When you grab her leash, she springs into action, transforming into your enthusiastic walking buddy. If a sock goes missing during laundry, you might want to check Tilly’s secret stash—not the dryer. This Beagle/Heeler mix is curious and funny, relishing her strolls through the neighborhood where she enjoys meeting other dogs. She's affectionate and delights in back scratches, but she has a quirky habit of gently nibbling toes whenever she seeks attention. Although busy streets can be a bit much for her, Tilly’s confidence is steadily growing. Having another dog at home will give Tilly the extra support she needs to feel secure. She thrives with a friendly canine companion who can help her tackle new situations. While she appreciates her furry friends, she also adapts well to a working household, settling down comfortably when left alone. A patient adopter open to letting Tilly approach life at her pace will be rewarded as her lovable, goofy personality shines through. If you're looking for a rescue dog full of charm, Tilly could be the perfect fit. Addicus' Legacy Dog Rescue has guided her journey into indoor living, and she’s excited to keep exploring—one walk, sniff, and sock at a time. Tilly is available for transport to the Baltimore, MD area, covering Maryland, Washington DC, and beyond. Most adopters are within a 1 to 2 hour drive from our transport meetup. Pick-up details can be arranged during the adoption process. Tilly is ready to find her forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
