Lucky Dog Lily goes on an epic playdate!
Special adoption considerations: Lily is nervous in new environments and around new people. She is REQUIRED to a home with a welcoming resident dog who will help show her that the world isn't so scary!
Lily is Looking For: Lily is a smart, energetic large-breed puppy who’s still growing into her body (and hasn’t quite realized how big she is yet!). She loves to play, learn, and explore, and she does best when she has a positive outlet for her puppy energy—walks, playtime, training, and enrichment are right up her alley.
She’s wonderful with other dogs and does well with kids. Lily truly shines once she feels safe: she’s affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted to her people. That bond just takes a little time and patience to build—especially with men, as Lily can be shy and nervous at first. With calm, consistent interactions, she warms up and gains confidence.
Because Lily is a sensitive, nervous girl who’s still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place, she must go to a home with a friendly, confident resident dog. Having a canine role model helps her feel secure, build confidence, and navigate new experiences with reassurance.
Lily is looking for an adopter who understands that love doesn’t have to be rushed—someone patient, kind, and committed to helping her blossom at her own pace. In return, you’ll get a loyal companion who will grow into an incredible dog with the right guidance and support.
If you have a welcoming dog and an open heart, Lily may be your perfect match.
What My Foster Says About Me: Lily is an intelligent, playful dog and very loving once she feels safe with you. She's great with other dogs and kids but needs extra time and patience to warm up to certain men. Lily is an energetic girl that loves long walks and will be a great running buddy once she's fully grown. She's smart and food motivated, so she could be a great candidate for trick training. She loves to be petted and have snuggles. She's still working on crate training, but has been making great strides!
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
