About Lily

Lily is a charming 7-year-old Basset Hound ready to embrace her new life. After spending years in a puppy mill, she's beginning to discover the joys of being a beloved pet. This little lady, with her lovely red and white coat, weighs in at about 51 pounds and has a short coat, perfect for snuggling up. Lily thrives in the company of other dogs but would also be content as the star of a single-dog household. When she's in the mood to play, she approaches her furry friends with a gentle bow and a tap of her paw. Having been around children, she's curious about them and enjoys their company as long as they approach her with care. While she’s not had much experience with cats, her calm demeanor around other critters suggests she'd likely do well with them. This spritely gal is already housetrained and crate trained, which is impressive for anyone looking for a new companion. Stairs and couches are no issue for her, and she would adore having a fenced yard or a nearby park to explore. Toys have sparked her interest, and she’s always game for treats!
