About Lily

Meet Lily, a delightful and affectionate one-year-old Chihuahua weighing in at twelve pounds. With her endearing little underbite and floppy ears, she often resembles a mini Italian Greyhound. Lily absolutely loves attention; if you stop petting her, she’ll nudge your hand with her paws, eager for more! This little one is not just friendly; she's genuinely excited to meet new faces and greets guests with joy. Socializing with other dogs also makes her happy, though she’s not one to seek them out specifically. She's fully potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and responds well to commands like ‘come’. Her food motivation helps make her training process smooth and effective. Lily strikes a perfect balance between calm and playfulness, loving her walks and playtime, yet just as happy snuggled up on the couch for a long nap. Ideal for apartment living, she thrives in a moderate home where she can enjoy both energetic outings and quiet days at home. Whether as an only pet or alongside a canine sibling, she’s looking for a loving companion to cuddle with. As her foster puts it, she’s "the best companion, ready to provide warmth and affection all winter long." Their loving bond can start with you if you apply today!
