Meet Lilly

Lilly is a 5 years, 1 month old female Border Collie/Mix who weighs 53 pounds.

She is currently in a foster home.

Meet Lilly - your future best friend with the wiggliest butt in town!

Lilly is a 5-year-old Border Collie mix with the sweetest soul and the happiest heart. If you're looking for that once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog - the one who makes every single day brighter - this is your girl.

First things first: Lilly lives for fetch. Tennis ball? Toss it. Again. And again. And again. Her foster mom swears she could play for hours and still come back with that same spark in her eyes like it's the very first throw. Watching her sprint after a ball with pure joy is basically free therapy. It's impossible not to smile.

She's active, playful, and would absolutely thrive in a home with a secure physical fence where she can stretch those legs and run to her heart's content. A yard + a ball = Lilly's dream come true.

But she's not just an athlete - she's a total lovebug. Lilly is a certified wigglebutt who greets new friends (human and canine!) like they're long-lost family. She adores other dogs and would be over the moon to have a friendly dog sibling to romp around with. Playdates? Lilly says "Yes please!"

Lils is super housetrained, comfortable in her crate and very well mannered! She's the kind of dog who settles beautifully after playtime and just wants to be near her people.

Lilly is truly special. She has so much love to give and deserves a home that will cherish her playful spirit and gentle heart. The right family is out there - maybe it's you?

If you're ready to add nonstop tail wags, joyful zoomies, and unconditional love to your life, fill out an application and we'll set up a meet at her foster home.

Photography tips

Having photos for each of our animals is a priority! It is difficult to get a prospective adopter who is sitting at home surfing the web to get enthusiastic about a new pet that they can’t even see, so we want to get photos on the website as early as possible. Sometimes, though, the photos available are photos of the animals in their prior shelter homes (lots of chain link and concrete) or from a clinic setting (lots of hands wearing blue gloves). We want to replace these with happy photos of the animals as quickly as we can!

The following is some guidance about how to create the best photos

  • No photos of dogs in their runs. Preferably, no photos of dogs indoors at all. We want green grass and blue skies! When outside, think about background objects (trash cans, etc) and frame your photo to keep the distractions to a minimum.
  • Photos you submit do not have to be square, however the photo will appear square (cropped, not stretched) in many places on the website(s). Therefore, make sure that if your photo isn’t square that the animal is centered in the photo so that important details aren’t lost if the photo is shown cropped.
  • We can put three photos on the website for each animal*. At least one of those photos should be a “full-body” photo so that prospective adopters can get an idea of the size and shape of the animal.
  • Preferably, the animal is off-leash for the photo, but if that’s not possible, at least ensure that the leash is slack. Think about the prospective adopter, who has no idea how the animal is being treated, and make sure that the photos do not give them the wrong impression that a particular animal is difficult to control or that they are not being treated gently.
  • Get low! You’ll get a better photo if you’re down at the animal’s level than if you’re shooting down on them from five feet above.
  • It is better to have the sun behind you than behind the animal. Your color fidelity will be better if you can avoid shadows or shaded areas.

* PetFinder supports six photos (or five photos and a video), so we can post additional photos there.
