About Lily

Lily is a charming little black and tan dog looking for a loving forever home with her best friend, Daisy. This bonded duo must be adopted together, so get ready for double the joy and unconditional love! Lily is a bit more outgoing than Daisy, always helping to boost her confidence. They do everything side by side—from eating and sleeping to enjoying walks. As a loving lap dog, be prepared for some serious cuddle time. If you have a big lap, that’s even better, because Daisy will likely want to join in, too! There’s no need to worry about leaving them alone, as they keep each other company. If you can open your heart and home to these two delightful dogs, swing by the shelter—Lily and Daisy can’t wait to meet you!
