*Lily can be adopted now, but will need to wait until December 22nd to go to her new home! Meet Lily  — born October 27, 2025, and weighing 3 lbs 9 oz, this lively little pup is full of energy and charm! About Lily's Breed: Our best guess is that Lily is a Shih Tzu mix. Shih Tzus are affectionate, loyal, and charming little dogs that make excellent companions. They are known for their long, flowing coats, gentle personalities, and adaptability to different living environments. Because of their small size and moderate exercise needs, Shih Tzus thrive in apartments or houses where they can enjoy short walks and plenty of indoor time. Their ideal home is one that provides consistent grooming, a calm environment, and lots of companionship, as they love being close to their humans. Shih Tzus do well with families, singles, or older adults, especially in households that appreciate their affectionate nature and don’t mind a bit of regular coat care. Lily is an energetic and vocal sweetheart who loves to play, eat, and explore. She’s often the first to dive into playtime but also one of the first to curl up for a nap once the fun is over. Right now, she’s teething on her puppy chew bone and has discovered the bell inside a ball—her new fascination that keeps her entertained for hours. Lily’s Highlights: Playful and spirited , loves toys and mealtime Vocal pup , not shy about expressing herself Toy enthusiast , especially her chew bone and jingling ball Balanced energy , quick to nap after play Tiny but mighty , weighing just 3 lbs 9 oz Lily is the perfect mix of playful energy and sweet snuggles, ready to bring joy, laughter, and love to her forever family.
