Lilo is a bright, joyful burst of energy wrapped in a 30-pound Border Collie/Aussie mix body. Around four years old, she is the definition of enthusiastic—always ready for the next adventure, the next game of fetch, or the next opportunity to show off her clever mind. She greets life with excitement and a tail that never seems to stop wagging. This smart girl already knows sit, shake, and lay down, and she learns quickly with a willingness that makes training both fun and rewarding. With her intelligence and drive, Lilo has all the makings of an incredible sport or activity partner. Whether it’s rally, scent work, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, or simply an energetic game of fetch in the yard, she is ready to be your teammate. In fact, she loves fetch so much that she’ll sometimes toss the ball back to you herself if you’re not quick enough—just to keep the game going. Once she’s had a chance to burn off her zoomies, Lilo transforms into a devoted cuddle buddy. She’ll happily snuggle up close on the couch to watch TV, content just being near her people. She’s fully house trained, sleeps through the night in her crate, walks well on leash, and rides comfortably in the car. She loves kids and has done wonderfully with the children she’s lived with, bringing her playful spirit and affectionate heart into the home. Lilo does well with many dogs (but not some other female dogs) and has lived with cats, responding well to redirection when reminded of her manners. She thrives with structure, activity, and engagement, and she would do best in a home looking for a sporty, energetic partner who’s ready to include her in daily adventures. For someone seeking a smart, fun-loving, loyal companion who can keep up and then curl up, Lilo is ready to leap right into your life and your heart.

Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption.
