About Tilly St Petersburg

Meet Tilly, a charming 4-year-old Maltese mix looking for her forever home in Redington Beach, FL. Tilly is a bright little lady who loves her humans and thrives on companionship. She's a cuddle bug who dances and spins when you come home, eager for some affection. Tilly enjoys brisk short walks and is always up for a game of chase or a good belly rub. This sweet girl is house trained, but she does require regular outdoor outings. She's a bit vocal and enjoys expressing herself during walks, which also makes her a good guard dog. Tilly does get along with other dogs, particularly those of similar age and size, but she prefers to be the only dog in the home to avoid conflicts. A securely fenced yard is a must for her adventurous spirit. Tilly needs an experienced dog owner who can help her master leash manners and provide the structure she craves. Her ideal family would have someone home most of the day, perhaps working from home or retired. If you think Tilly could be the one for you, please fill out an adoption application on VIPRescue.org. Let's make Tilly's next chapter a happy one!
