Meet Lilly:
Your Future Shadow, Cuddle Bug, and Professional Toy Demolisher. Looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side? Meet Lilly! This 3.5-year-old German Shepherd is an absolutely amazing dog with a heart of gold. She is the perfect mix of outdoor adventure companion and calm-couch-potato snuggle bug. Lilly is what we affectionately call a "velcro dog." She loves her humans and wants to be involved in whatever they are doing. She will happily be your shadow around the house.
The Best Things About Lilly: A Total People-Lover: Loves every person she meets and is absolutely fantastic with kids! Smart & Eager to Please: She knows "sit," "lay down," "shake a paw," and understands "outside," "treat," and "walk." Quiet & Calm: You won't have to worry about barking. Lilly is quiet and only barks on occasion. Perfect House Manners: She isn't crate trained, but she doesn't need to be! She is perfectly well-behaved when left alone or while sleeping. The Perfect Balance: She loves going for walks or runs, but the moment you get home, she is ready to curl up and snuggle with you on the couch. Her Funny Quirks: The Toy Assassin: Stuffed toys and squeakers, beware! Destroying plush toys is her absolute favorite pastime. She also loves balls and is actively working on her fetch skills. The Meat Thief: Lilly is incredibly well-behaved around human food... unless it's meat. She has zero guilt about stealing an unattended steak if given the opportunity! Selective Hearing: When it's just the two of you, her off-leash recall is great, but if there are other dogs or people around to distract her, her listening skills completely go out the window! Lilly's Ideal Home & Training Needs: While Lilly is a perfect angel with humans, she does have some specific needs to ensure she thrives: No Cats: Lilly has a very strong prey drive. Lilly can also be reactive to other dogs, especially on leash. She requires very slow, structured introductions. Because of this, homes with small dogs are not recommended. Experienced Owner Needed: We are looking for an adopter who has knowledge with dog reactivity and is committed to working with her on her leash skills and distraction recall.
Lilly is an incredibly sweet, calm, and loving soul who just wants a family to call her own. If you have the time and experience to work with her, she will reward you by being the most devoted best friend you could ever ask for.
