Jilly is the sweetest. She loves human attention once she’s comfortable with you and is good with all dogs she has met and ones she has been in foster with. She is friendly, gentle, and and an overall gem, but has a playful/spunky side especially with toys. Jilly is a snuggler, fun, and a fairly easy keeper! She is around 2 years old and around 12lbs.
