Bio:

Come meet Lily at The Relay for Life, Brewster High School 50 Foggintown Rd. Brewster, NY 10509 from 3pm-5pm.

Meet Lily! 🐾
Lily is a sweet, intelligent, and beautiful dog with a lot of love to give. She is already fully housetrained and knows her basic commands (sit, stay, down, paw, and come). If you love grooming, you're in luck—Lily absolutely adores being brushed, which is perfect for maintaining her gorgeously thick coat!
While she is a wonderful companion, Lily has a sensitive soul and a few specific needs. To ensure she finds the perfect forever home, we want to be completely transparent about what makes her thrive:
🏡 Her Ideal Home & Personality
The Independent Roommate: Lily currently lives with a dog and cats in her foster home and coexists with them beautifully. However, she has zero interest in playing with other dogs. She is content just sharing space.
Kid Dynamic: She has been around children and is tolerant of them, but she can get a bit overwhelmed by multiple kids and prefers to keep her distance rather than engage in play.
Big & Strong: Lily is a large, powerful girl! She will do best with an adopter who can comfortably handle her, and we recommend using a harness for walks to keep things manageable and safe.
❤️ Patience and Understanding Needed
We don’t know much about Lily's past, but we do know that change is hard for her.
New Environment Anxiety: When introduced to a new environment, Lily experiences anxiety. She will pace, bark, and whine at first. The great news? She is not at all destructive, and this behavior completely fades once she feels safe.
Slow Introductions: New situations, people, and places need to be introduced slowly and patiently by someone she trusts. Once Lily feels comfortable in her surroundings, she settles down beautifully and becomes a relaxed, loyal companion.
The Bottom Line: Lily needs a patient, loving family willing to give her the time she needs to build a trusting bond. If you are willing to let her take things at her own pace, you will watch her blossom into the absolute best dog she can be.

Lilly can be met by appointment at her foster home in Pawling, NY email info@pawsafe.org to set it up.
