About Lily in TN

Lily is a sweet five-year-old Dachshund looking for a patient forever home in Shelbyville, TN. As a retired breeder dog, she needs time to come out of her shell and learn how to enjoy the pet life. Although she has not been heavily socialized, once you gain her trust, her affectionate personality shines through. She does best in a calm environment without small children, as they can be overwhelming for her. Lily would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and prefers to be with a human female or a very patient male. Having another small male dog will help her adjust and feel more comfortable. An adopter with experience in rehabilitating retired breeder dogs will be especially beneficial. No apartment living is allowed; she needs a space to roam freely. Lily has been spayed and is up to date on vaccinations. She's house trained, although crate training is still a work in progress. Understanding her needs is crucial, and with time and patience, she'll blossom into a loving companion. Ready to make a difference in Lily's life? Start your journey together! Apply now.
