About Tilly

Little Tilly has had a tough time recently and is eager to find her forever home. After sustaining life-threatening injuries from being attacked by another dog, she has proven to be resilient and is friendly with both dogs and people alike. As a small Boston Terrier, she loves to play tug-o-war, toss her toys around, and keep an eye on the local squirrels. Tilly thrives in a terrier-savvy home with a fenced yard where she can run freely, and ideally, she should have playmates close to her size. While she gets along well with children, her enthusiasm can lead to accidental nips during play, so she’s better suited for a family with older kids. She’s currently working on potty training and shows improvement, often letting her foster mom know when she needs outside. Although she’s still getting used to the dog door, she enjoys being outdoors. Tilly will need a human who can help boost her confidence and support her during walks, as she’s a little hesitant about leaving home. Although she’s crate trained, she’s comfortable being alone for short periods and tends to find your shoes to keep your scent close. This adorable little gremlin will bring immense joy to a Boston Terrier lover. She adores snuggling, especially on a pillow right next to you.
