Lily - Border Collie and Mountain Dog Dog for Adoption in Evergreen, Colorado

Meet Lily! She is just 2.5 yrs old est. and 77 pounds.
Lily is a beautiful Border Collie mix with possible Bernese Mountain Dog or Husky in her—and the sweetest signature “aroo!” when prompted.

For much of her early life, Lily was chained to a tree in Arkansas. The chain around her neck was so tight it had to be cut off. When she arrived at EAPL, she was also heartworm-positive—but thanks to her devoted foster and months of care, Lily is now heartworm-free and ready for her forever home!

Lily absolutely adores people and soaks up every bit of affection she can get. She is wonderful with young children and has done well around cats, even when they aren’t especially welcoming. Outdoors, she loves staying close to her people and has great recall, but this social butterfly may visit the neighbors if given the opportunity—so a securely fenced yard will be important.

Because Lily went without security and proper care for so long, she will benefit from a patient, confident adopter who can provide loving boundaries and continue her training. She can be protective of her food, so she’ll need a family willing to manage this thoughtfully and help her continue learning that her meals are safe.

Lily has already overcome so much. Now she needs someone to show her that she will never be chained, forgotten or left behind again.

Could you be the fresh start Lily has been waiting for?
