About Tilly

Meet Tilly! She's the shy but delightful sister in her family, which includes her sibling Marni and mom Tandy. Tilly is friendly and interactive with her furry aunts and uncles in her foster home, as well as adults and children. Keep in mind she's tiny at about 5 lbs, so any kids around should know how to handle her gently. At this young stage, Tilly is still discovering the world. She’ll thrive in a home that offers structure and the chance to play. A fenced yard and a dog buddy would be fantastic for her energy levels. Be ready to help her learn about potty training and basic commands, but she's already making good progress in her foster home. She usually sleeps through the night, which is impressive for a puppy. Though Tilly is up to date with her vaccinations, she will need to be spayed and complete her final round of core shots when she's old enough. A high-quality puppy diet will also help her grow strong. If you’re looking for a sweet, shy companion who will fill your days with puppy antics, Tilly might be the perfect fit! She's got so much growing and loving ahead of her, and we are excited to see where her journey leads. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
