Story
Meet Lily — a 2-year-old Terrier mix with a heart full of sweetness and a bright future ahead! When Lily first arrived at her foster home, everything was new and a little overwhelming. She preferred the comfort of her crate and needed some encouragement to feel safe. With gentle patience, hand-fed meals, cozy carries to the yard, and lots of soft ear rubs, Lily slowly began to trust. Before long she was eating, drinking, and exploring on her own — and once she started going outside regularly, she hasn’t had a single accident in the house. Leashes were also a brand-new concept for her, but a few tasty chicken treats and lots of practice worked wonders! Now she enjoys going out on a long lead in the yard or taking relaxed walks around the neighborhood like a little pro. Just two weeks after settling in, Lily surprised everyone by giving birth to five beautiful puppies. She was a wonderful, devoted mama, but with her pups growing big and independent, Lily is finally ready for a life that’s all her own. Today, Lily is blossoming into a fun, affectionate, silly young dog. She loves: Playing with soft toys and chew toys Zooming around the house Wrestling and running with her foster brother Going for walks Sneaking off with the occasional sock (her guilty pleasure!) She knows how to sit for treats and sits patiently to have her harness put on. During the day she curls up next to her foster mom for naps, and at night she snoozes soundly on a comfy chair in her cozy gated room. Her breed mix is a mystery, though a dog-ID app suggested she resembles a Danish-Swedish Farmdog. Whatever she is, she’s adorable — especially those velvety ears that perk up like Baby Yoda when something interesting catches her attention. If you’re looking for a small, gentle, intelligent, and incredibly sweet companion, Lily just might be your girl. She’s ready for love, adventure, and a forever family who will help her continue to shine. Could Lily be your new best friend?
