Tiger Lily and Dude’s story began in a heartbreaking way — these two sweet puppies were found dumped at a lake, left to fend for themselves. Thankfully, they were rescued and given the chance they deserved.

Despite their rough start, Tiger Lily and Dude are happy, affectionate puppies who are ready to leave their past behind and start the next chapter of their lives. They are friendly, playful and enjoy being around people and other dogs. They have wonderful puppy personalities and are already showing how much they want to learn and please.

Both are crate trained, walk nicely on leash, ride well in the car and are working hard on their house training. They aren’t big barkers, aren’t destructive and have no known issues with food. Like any young puppies, they have plenty of playful energy and will benefit from a family who is ready for the fun, patience and commitment that comes with raising a young dog.

Tiger Lily and Dude do not need to be adopted together. Each can thrive as an individual dog and would love a family of their own. What they do need is a home with a yard where they can run, play and continue growing into the wonderful dogs they are meant to be.

After being abandoned at a lake, these two deserve something very different for their future — a safe home, a loving family and the promise that they will never be left behind again.
