Tilly

Hi there, my name is Tilly, your future best friend and loyal guardian! I am a two and a half year old smart girl who know several tricks. My favorite things to do are play with my toy rope and make a nest of blankets in my crate.

I am fiercely loyal and will alert you of any danger - even if it’s just the mailman or the neighbors. I prefer the solo life when it comes to other dogs and animals. I like to have all the attention and treats for myself! I’m also really fast and love to play outside and retrieve, so a big yard would be ideal for my behavior.

I have gotten along with adults and older teenagers before. I can be hesitant to warm up to males, but when I do, we’re best friends for life! My ideal home would include a single person or couple.

If you’re looking for a loyal dog who loves to give big slobbery kisses and wiggle her whole body with excitement, then I’m your gal! I am up-to-date on my shots, I’m spayed, and I’m chipped! Even better, I am house-broken and crate trained!

Please contact to learn more about my story and to take me home.
