My story

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

Meet Waterlily
Waterlily is a gorgeous bluetick coonhound (possibly mixed, but she looks like a purebred). She was a
scared and uncertain doggo, needing rescue from a kill shelter. We took her in. Unbeknownst to us she
was pregnant with two puppies, Elvis and Hank. Waterlily was placed in a foster where she was able to
decompress and have her pups. She loved the quiet and calmness of her foster home. She was a good
mama. Patient and attentive. With her puppies weaned, Waterlily is ready to find her forever home.
Waterlily is thought to be about four years old. She is a gorgeous girl. She is athletic and has a lot of
energy that she needs to run off. She is very smart and affectionate, and loves everyone she meets.
Life most likely hasn’t been kind to her, given where she ended up, but she
loves her people when she feels safe. Waterlily is curious and likes to explore. She is super smart and
will do best with an active family. She will need a containment fence to keep her safe. Waterlily will be
an excellent hiking and running buddy. She seems to enjoy adventures and wants to be part of all
activities. Waterlily is a little hesitant to get into a car, but once she's in, she travels travels well. Waterlily is a gentle dog. She longs to belong, knowing she’ll be safe and protected.
Waterlily is dog friendly. We’ll test her with cats for potential adopters. She has been on several hikes with volunteers, and absolutely loves it. She has good energy and loves to sniff and walk her day away. She is a gem, just needing to feel
secure and loved. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, sweet, smart and athletic young dog to welcome to
your heart and home, Waterlily is the whole package.
