Lillith - Cattle Dog Dog for Adoption in Effingham, Illinois

Meet our newest arrival, Lilith! ❤️🐾

Lilith is a 6-7 year old Red Heeler who has spent her whole life being someone's beloved companion. Unfortunately, her owner's living situation changed, and now this sweet girl is looking for a new best friend to share the next chapter with.

And whoever gets her is getting a GOOD one.

Lilith is house trained, knows her basic commands, and is laidback, affectionate, and wonderfully easygoing. But don't let that calm demeanor fool you when a toy comes out. This girl LOVES fetch and goes absolutely bananas for squeaky toys. 😂

In her previous home, Lilith enjoyed outdoor fun, rides in the side-by-side, and then coming inside to enjoy the cushy life with her person. Basically, she appreciates a little adventure followed by the comforts of home. ❤️

We're told Lilith does well with other dogs. Cats are unknown right now, but we'll give her some time to settle in before testing her with them.

At 6-7 years old, Lilith is in that wonderful sweet spot: past the puppy nonsense, but still plenty ready for walks, fetch, adventures, and years of companionship.

She didn't expect to be starting over at this age. We'd love to make sure she doesn't have to wait long. 🥹
