Story
Meet Lillie! Born 06/16/2026
Meet Lillie, a Great Pyrenees/Blue Heeler mix, also known as Lillie Bird, Bird Dog, and—when the occasion calls for her full government name—Lillian. She’s a playful puppy with a busy social calendar, a passion for chewing, and hearing that occasionally operates on an appointment-only basis.
Lillie does great with other dogs and loves playing with her foster buddy, Ron. She’s also a lovely companion to the resident cat, playing appropriately and taking feline company in stride. Another dog could be a fun addition to her future home, but she doesn’t need a canine roommate to thrive. Grasshoppers, however, should probably make their own arrangements.
Her favorite things include outdoor adventures on a leash, Benebones, and investigating whether her foster mom’s belongings were secretly purchased for her. They were not. Management regrets the misunderstanding. She’ll need plenty of appropriate chew toys, supervision, and someone willing to help her learn what belongs in the puppy toy department.
She’s already kennel trained! House training is still on her to-do list, along with keeping all four paws on the floor. Lillie enjoys an enthusiastic greeting, but she’s expected to be a large dog, so helping her learn polite manners now is important. A secure six-foot fence is recommended given her jumping ability and anticipated size, and apartment life may not be the best fit for her.
Lillie also takes her self-appointed position as household announcement system seriously. Visitors may receive a barking welcome, and she needs time to warm up to unfamiliar people in her home. Her family should be ready to offer patient introductions and consistent training to help her feel more comfortable with guests. Her experience with children is unknown.
One important part of Lillie’s routine is private dining. Although she enjoys other animals, she guards food in her kennel and will stiffen and snarl if dogs or cats approach while she’s eating. She needs to be fed separately, with other pets kept away from her kennel during meals, and a family committed to managing this consistently and working on her food guarding.
Lillie brings the playfulness, the personality, and a whole collection of excellent nicknames. Her future family brings patience, structure, and a sense of humor while helping her grow into her very best self. If your idea of a good match includes a lively puppy, a walking buddy, and a reason to stop leaving your things within chewing distance, Lillie would like to submit her application!
The suggested adoption fee for Lillie is $465. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated. Adoption donation fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. All dogs adopted through BNBR will have been administered their age appropriate vaccines which may include DHPP, Rabies, Lepto and Bordetella. All dogs will also be adopted out as already altered if of age, for those not of age, a voucher will be provided. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. BNBR does not adopt on a first serve basis. All available dogs are adopted based on their needs to provide the best fit home.
