About Lilly

Meet Lilly, a spirited and playful dog looking for an equally lively family to call her own. She's spent time with toddlers and infants, proving to be gentle, though she sometimes forgets her own strength around tiny humans. This young lady has already completed some basic training and knows commands like "Sit" and "Leave It". With the guidance of her foster family, she's picking up "Down" and "Stay". Lilly enjoys walks and shows her best behavior with a harness. She's potty trained, but keep in mind that any dog may need patience while adjusting to a new home. Having a good crate training history, she’s also lived harmoniously with other dogs and is currently sharing her space with a larger dog foster sibling. A playmate in her forever home would likely make her very happy. Lilly is spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. Ready to meet this affectionate companion?
