My personality

My story

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

Meet Lily!! A very sweet and gentle Portuguese Water Dog. Lily is almost 5 years old, DOB 12-31-20. She weighs 32 lbs. Love-A-Stray had her spayed, completely vaccinated, and she is micro-chipped.

Lily is scheduled for a professional grooming at Polished Paws for a traditional PWD cut.

Lily lived with her confident littermate since she was a puppy and depended on her to set the tone. Now her littermate has been adopted, and Lily is working on building her own confidence.

Lily really is a special sweet doggo. She gets a little startled by loud noises, BUT she makes the effort to come and see what is happening—she doesn’t just run and hide. She is adjusting very well and doing better each and every day.

Lily would love a home with another dog, and she will require a fenced-in yard (not electric) so she has the freedom to run and play. She LOVES to cuddle and sit on your lap too! She will follow her human around the house. ;-)

Lily is working on walking well on lead. Her foster said she is doing really well. She does, however, love going outside to explore in her fosters fenced-in yard.

Lily is crate trained, but since she’s not a chewer and very well behaved, the fosters has given her free run of multiple rooms, and Lily does great and can be trusted "home alone". Lily is completely potty trained. She also knows the meaning of “no.” if she decides to stand on her hind legs to see what's on the counter LOL. She really listens well.

Lily sleeps in a dog bed at night and stays in bed all night and doesn’t wander. She also loves to nap in her bed during the day—a lot! 😄

She will make a great dog for the right person. A low-key environment would be best. Lily is not a super high-energy dog. She’s mostly cuddly or nappy after a couple of outside bouts.


If you are interested in Lily, please submit an online application, so we can learn a little about you to make sure Lily would be a good match. We do not do out of state adoptions, due to our trial adoption process. Adoption fee/donation is $ 350.00.00 completely vetted.

If you have specific questions, please email the adoption coordinator at info@loveastraydog.com If you can't foster or adopt, please consider donating to help us with medical expenses and ongoing care. You can mail your donation to: Love-A-Stray, P.O. Box 125, Attn: Lily, Avon Lake, OH 44012 or visit www.loveastraydog.com for credit card/PayPal information, adoption application, available dogs and upcoming events. Thank you!

Additional adoption info

Love-A-Stray is a non-profit all volunteer rescue group with most of our volunteers also having full time jobs, so we do the best we can to answer all inquires as soon as possible.

We ask that you complete our adoption application, so we can lean a little bit about you to ensure we can help find your perfect match.

Please do not ask us to ship our dogs out of state. WE DO NOT SHIP! We require adopters to fill out an adoption form and agree to the terms of our adoption contract. All pets are spay/neutered and vaccinated.  

In addition to looking on the website, we show many of our rescued dogs at regular adoption events. Check out our upcoming events for the next opportunity to meet some of our dogs in person.

More about this rescue

Love-A-Stray is a small, non-profit, all-volunteer organization focused on helping abandoned, forgotten and neglected dogs. Without a physical shelter, our rescue dogs are housed in loving foster homes; minimizing operating costs and allowing adoption fees, donations, and fundraising efforts to directly benefit the dogs in our care. Every dog we rescue is completely vetted including spay/neuter before they are adopted out to a new family. We strive to find new adoptive families willing to make a lifetime commitment for each dog we rescue. We rely on our loyal supporters to help us raise funds to help us continue our good work.
