About Tilly

Meet Tilly! Tilly is a tiny 9-pound, 12-year-old Chihuahua and long-haired Dachshund mix. This sweet senior lady is an absolute gem. Tilly came to us from a neglect situation where she lived among many other dogs, missing out on the individual love she truly deserves. Now, we want nothing more than to ensure her remaining years are filled with comfort and affection. Initially shy, Tilly warms up quickly once she feels safe. She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and friendly. All this little lady really desires is to snuggle up beside you and enjoy being loved. She also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and seems unbothered by cats. House trained and well-mannered, Tilly goes potty outside and keeps her kennel clean. She sleeps nicely in her crate, although she wouldn’t mind sharing your bed at night. Recently spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and set to receive her health certificate before adoption, she just wants a soft bed, wet food, and a family who adores her. Tilly deserves the world now, and we're hoping someone very special will give it to her. Start your journey together! Apply now.
