My story

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

Loveable Lilly cannot wait to spend the holidays in her comfy new home. Better yet, could she possibly make it home to celebrate her first birthday?!?! Let's try and get this girl adopted!

Lilly is a petite girl at about 45 pounds. She loves her canine friends and the people she knows. In fact, she is obsessed with the people she knows (but in a good way)! She does need some work on her overall socialization and will need an adopter who is committed to getting her out and about to build her confidence. Not to worry, she is not aggressive with people she does not know, she just runs and hides!

Lilly is in a foster home with dogs and children and does fantastic with both of them. We think she actually warms up to kids a little quicker than adults.

Lilly is housebroken and knows some basic commands. She is eager to keep learning and is food motivated!

Lilly was part of an unplanned litter. Her dad is a pure bred Australian Cattle dog and her mom is a pure bred chocolate lab. She has the perfect blend of the breeds giving her a stunning coat and an awesome personality.


The adoption fee for this dog is $400.

If you are viewing on Petfinder and cannot see photos or would like to apply for this dog please visit our website, www.frecklesfoundation.org.

Dogs are up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption coordinators have conversations each applicant to ensure a good match for the pet and person/family, perform vet checks if there are current pets. Adopters must come to either the foster home or an event to meet the pet. If the dog/cat is too young to be altered, a deposit is taken and our spay/neuter coordinator follows up ensuring the procedure is done. Below is our link to our dog application. We also have a cat application but there is only space for 1 link.

We are a foster-based rescue. We will hold adoption events at local pet stores, community events, and vet offices.

More about this rescue

A kitten named Freckles, who was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), and a desire to help more at-risk cats and dogs find forever homes, were the catalyst that ignited Athena Reizakis to start Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue. While our main mission is to place animals in need in loving homes, we also place a special emphasis on the “underdog.” We will not let age or a medical diagnosis, such as FIP or heartworm, be a barrier in giving that animal the chance at the life they so deserve.

Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue, founded in December of 2023, is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are a foster-based rescue with a volunteer network spanning across Maryland, DC, and Virginia. We are committed to creating awareness within the communities we serve and working towards the best interest of the animals in our care. It is not just about finding homes for pets in need but finding a home that is right for them.

Freckles Foundation works with shelters, other rescue groups, community organizations, and individuals to identify cats and dogs in need of rescue. Once in our care we provide these animals with necessary veterinary care and a loving, nurturing foster home until they are adopted. Cats and dogs receive vaccinations, preventatives, and spay/neuter (if age appropriate) prior to adoption. Our rescues are cared for in our network of volunteer foster homes and provided with food, shelter, socialization, training, and other necessary care while awaiting adoption.

We are funded solely by donations and adoption fees. We are 100% volunteer-based currently.
