About Lily

Meet Lily, a beautiful Blue Heeler who’s looking for her forever home. Originally a bit shy around new people, Lily has shown tremendous growth thanks to her time in Missouri's Puppies for Parolees program. She received obedience training and built confidence while working with inmate trainers, allowing her to emerge from her shell. Now, she’s in foster care, attending daycare every day where she continues to blossom. Lily needs a family that understands the importance of patience and kindness. With gentle encouragement, she will develop into a loyal and devoted companion. She’s already getting along well with other dogs and children, making her an ideal addition to any family. For someone with a soft spot for gentle souls, Lily could be the perfect fit. She’s ready to discover the world around her with your guidance. This sweet girl is spayed, around 2 years old, and weighs approximately 45 lbs. If you’re ready to help her on her journey to confidence, Lily is waiting for you. Every confident dog was once a puppy learning about life, and Lily is making progress every day. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
