Meet Lily! This adorable scruffy pup was seen running down the middle of the road in Kings Mountain, NC. Luckily, Paula, a FedEx driver and animal advocate, saw her while doing her route and took action to get her to safety. Lily knew it was her lucky day and jumped right in her truck. She temporarily stayed in a neighborhood home with dogs, cats, and chickens while she completed her stray hold and was an excellent house guest.
We learned very quickly that Lily is a social, fun-loving pup who loves everyone she meets — human and dog. The world is her oyster, and she's ready to be a part of it. She has pearly white teeth and a good amount of energy, so our vet feels she's an adolescent, maybe 10-12 months old. She has been fostered with multiple dogs and has lived as an only dog. She is very adaptable and does well in both scenarios. She loves to play with other pups and would welcome all playdates, but she also appreciates your attention.
Lily is still learning manners and basic commands as a young pup, but she already knows "sit" and "down." She's also crate-trained and has never had an accident in her crate. Her foster mom crates her if they leave for a longer period of time. She's pretty much housetrained but needs regular breaks. Because she doesn't yet know to alert you, she needs time to learn the routine before you can fully trust her. She does well on leash and meets new people and dogs well.
Overall, Lily is the total package that will make a great family dog or is well-suited for an active single owner or couple. She is the pup you can take with you anywhere. She just wants to be near you, is very affectionate, and loves snuggling on the couch. She's been fully vetted and groomed and is looking very sassy.

Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to save a dog’s life!
Adding a dog to your family is a rewarding and life-changing experience. Dogs enrich our lives and have the amazing ability to give and receive love unconditionally. They can be your loyal companion and friend, and a watchful playmate for your kids, but they are also a serious, long-term commitment. They will depend on you for their health and well-being, and require an investment of love, time, and money for the rest of their life.
As you search for your new dog, please remember that there is no shortage of dogs who need saving. There are far more dogs waiting to be adopted than people who are willing to adopt them, so if the dog in the picture who you’ve imagined bringing home isn’t available, there are thousands more amazing, loving dogs just hoping for the chance to be your dog. We ask that you keep an open mind, stay flexible, and we will do our best to work with you to find a great match for your family.
We strongly encourage anyone thinking about adopting a dog to do your research and make sure you are prepared for the commitment. If you have thought about what’s required and are ready to adopt, here’s what you can expect when you apply to adopt a dog from Worthy Dog Rescue.
Worthy Dog Rescue cannot guarantee that the dog you apply for will be available once you have been approved. We do our best to work with adopters and meet your needs, but we do not adopt dogs on a first-come, first-serve basis. All applications are screened to determine the most suitable match for the dog and the adopter. We want to place dogs in good homes as quickly as possible, so the dog can start their new life with their family, and we can free up their foster home to save another dog in need.
We understand how easy it is to become attached to a dog you’ve found online, but sometimes the dog you apply for may already be scheduled to meet another adopter, or it may not be the best fit for your home for a variety of behavioral reasons. Our dogs are fostered by one of our volunteers, living in their home as part of their family. This allows us to get to know the dog, what they need, their level of socialization, and the type of home that will best suit them.
Our goal is to place dogs in loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. We take great care in finding good matches for our dogs and adopters too. We look forward to working with you to find the dog that will be with you and your family for many years to come.
