Lily - Border Terrier and Schnauzer Dog for Adoption in Newport Beach, California

Meet Lily

Look at that sweet, scruffy face! Lily is a gorgeous 1-year-old terrier mix who was rescued from our Phelan desert rescue effort. She has a heart full of love for people and a wonderful, gentle nature.

While Lily loves human affection, she hasn't had much exposure to the big wide world yet and is still learning the ropes of full socialization. A little patience goes a long way with her—she just needs a few gentle introductions to warm up and feel completely comfortable in new environments.

Key Highlights & Ideal Home

Best with a Canine Buddy: Lily would thrive best in a home with a playful, confident dog. Having a dog sibling will help her build confidence and continue learning how fun being a dog can be.

Warm & Loving: Once she knows she’s safe, her sweet and loving personality shines right through.

Their friendly and playful demeanor makes them wonderful companions for active families, especially those who enjoy outdoor adventures with their loyal four legged friends.

The schnauzer is a versatile and intelligent dog breed known for its distinctive beard and eyebrows.
