Story
My name is Fancy . I am estimated to be 2 years old. I am a very sweet girl, but I have a very quirky personality. I am very good in the house ; I am crate trained and have used a doggie door. I love jumping right in the car and going for rides ! I walk on a leash every day currently. When I first meet people, I am very cautious, and act scared. I defiantly bond very fast to women. Young kids scare me, and I tend to go hide in my safe place , my crate. Once I feel comfy around you , I act just like every other dog. I love to give kisses , play with my toys and go for walks on the leash. I love fresh carrots for a treat or a big rawhide to chew on. I have lived with several dogs before and enjoy their company. All my vet work is done, and I am microchipped. My adoption fee covers transport from Tennessee. I can be a very good loyal companion in the right setting. I don’t necessarily need a fenced in yard if you walk me on a leash every day.

Lily also has a fun, playful side! She enjoys playing with her furry brothers and loves spending time with her 10-year-old human sister. She has a wonderful balance of being playful when it's time for fun and calm when it's time to relax. One of Lily's greatest qualities is her love for people. She has never met a stranger and greets everyone with a happy heart and a wagging tail. Her sweet, affectionate personality shines through in everything she does, and she's always eager to share her unconditional love.
