My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I see you staring and admiring my girlish good looks so let me introduce myself. I’m Lilly, and I’ve heard it said “she’s as sweet as she looks”.

I’m 3 1/2 years old, weigh 88lbs and I’m very lean and in great shape because my previous owner was a runner and I had to make him keep up with me. Just joking I ran right beside him and I like to get a good laugh and smile from everyone.

I’m very well socialized with people and think everyone is my friend…I’m a very playful girl and puppy-like and happy around people, good with older kids but with supervision. You know I will sit immediately when told especially if I think I am getting a yummy treat which I’ll take very gently and politely.

I’m leash trained but haven’t been trained not to pull so I’ll just need a little guidance from you on that. I’m still young so I have lots of energy and need a home with an active person…I make an excellent running partner and once you tire me out I’ll be very mellow and calm when in the house. I’m awesome in the house, no accidents and I’ll let you know when I need to go potty. Since I was mostly an outdoor dog I’ll need you to show me some basic training and a helping hand to show me what is acceptable indoors. Also, please don’t leave anything out around the house that might get me into trouble. I do love toys and I have a favorite one that you put cookies in and will work and work on it to get the cookies out, that’ll make you smile for sure. I love car rides too!

I’ve chased the cat I lived with so best to not have me share my home with cats, I have gone after chickens when I was brought to a ranch once so none of those please and other small animals. You’ll need a 6’ or higher fence to keep me safe as I’ve jumped over shorter ones.

Imagine my surprise being so sweet and then I was attacked by a big dog while at the lake having fun with my friends. That bad dog gave me a pretty bad bite on top of my muzzle but I’m all healed up now. Prior to that happening I loved all dogs, big and small now I’m apprehensive about other dogs until I see they are not going to hurt me. With a slow, careful and supervised introduction to new dog friends I’m fine with them as long as they don’t get aggressive with me. To set me up for success I will do best in a home as an only dog.

I’m very excited about meeting you so don’t be shy and make sure to check me out. I’m looking forward to getting a great new Forever Home and hope it’s with you. Gotta go now, I heard the treat word. See ya soon.
