About Lilo

Meet Lilo, a charming Yorkshire terrier mix. She arrived at the shelter with other dogs when her previous guardians could no longer care for them. At first, Lilo may come off as a bit shy, but once she warms up to you, her affectionate, cuddly nature shines. This lap dog loves being near her person, often preferring to snuggle up in bed at night. When it comes to other dogs, Lilo shows some selectiveness on walks; larger dogs can be intimidating for her. She might be a good fit for a home with another dog after a proper introduction. However, she has shown a tendency to chase cats, so a feline-free home is ideal. Lilo also appears to be housetrained, adding to her appeal as a companion.
