Lily

Meet Lily, a sweet and intelligent pup who is eager to find her forever family! Lily is described as affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted once she feels safe and comfortable. She loves to play, learn, and explore, thriving on positive outlets for her energy such as walks, playtime, and training. While she can be nervous in new environments and around new people, especially men, her true personality shines through with patience and consistent interaction. She's great with other dogs, making her an ideal companion for a home with an existing canine.

As a Labrador Retriever and Border Collie mix, Lily inherits a wonderful blend of traits. Labrador Retrievers are known for their friendly, outgoing nature and intelligence, while Border Collies are celebrated for their exceptional smarts, agility, and high energy. This combination means Lily is a highly trainable dog who will excel with mental stimulation and physical activity. She has a short coat, requiring moderate grooming, and you can expect moderate shedding. Her energy levels are high, and she will need substantial daily exercise to keep her happy and healthy.

Lily is looking for a patient, kind, and committed adopter who understands that building trust takes time. It is a requirement that she goes to a home with a friendly, confident resident dog to help her feel secure and build confidence. She would likely do well with older children who can respect her need for space as she adjusts. If you have an open heart, a welcoming dog, and are ready to provide consistent guidance and support, Lily will blossom into an incredible and loyal companion, ready to be your running buddy and snuggle partner.
