Lily — a tiny survivor with the biggest heart. 💕

At just 2 years old and only 20 pounds, Lily’s story could have ended very differently. This sweet Mini Australian Lab mix was surrendered after animal cruelty charges were filed against her previous owners. When animal control found Lily, she had been tied to a tree with no food, no water, and no shelter. We may never know how long she endured those conditions alone, but what we do know is this: Lily never stopped loving people.

Since coming into rescue, Lily has absolutely blossomed. Despite everything she’s been through, she greets everyone she meets with love, tail wags, and a gentle spirit that is impossible not to fall in love with. She has proven that her past did not break her — it only made her stronger.

Lily does wonderful with cats, loves playing with other dogs, and enjoys being part of the action. She is leash trained, knows how to sit on command, fully vaccinated, and has been spayed. She is eager to continue learning with a family who will finally show her the life she has always deserved.

This little girl has survived neglect, loneliness, and heartbreak — now all she wants is a safe couch, a full belly, and someone to love her forever.

Lily’s past may be painful, but her future deserves to be beautiful. Could you be the one to give this brave girl the happily-ever-after she’s waited so long for?

Medical & Spay/Neuter Information:
Most puppies travel with two rounds of vaccines, and sometimes three. Occasionally, we may not have had a puppy long enough for a second round.

Puppies under 6 months of age are not spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering is a required condition of adoption and must be completed by the puppy’s first birthday or by your veterinarian's recommendation, at the adopter’s expense. Out-of-state surgery costs are not included in the adoption fee.

Breed Disclaimer:
Breed is our best estimate based on the puppy’s appearance and, when known, the mother’s appearance. Fathers are rarely known, and litters can have multiple fathers, meaning puppies may be half-siblings with different breed mixes.

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.
