Tilly - Presa Canario Dog Available for Adoption in Durham, North Carolina

Meet Tilly - aka Tilly Beans!

Tilly is a gorgeous brindle girl with a gentle heart and an affectionate personality. She loves being close to her people and is happiest curled up in a lap, soaking up attention. Belly rubs are one of her favorite things, and she'll gladly roll over to ask for more!

Tilly has a moderate energy level. She enjoys playing, exploring the yard, and the occasional burst of zoomies, but she's just as content to settle down for a nap nearby. One of her favorite toys is a small soccer ball, which she loves to push, toss, and roll around on. Watching her play is guaranteed to make you smile.

Smart, attentive, and eager to please, Tilly has already learned Sit, Paw, Down, and Stay. She enjoys spending time with her family but is also independent enough to entertain herself when needed. While she would be perfectly happy as an only dog, she enjoys canine companionship and would likely benefit from having a confident dog friend.

Because of her early life experiences, Tilly can be timid in new environments and needs time to build trust. Loud noises may startle her, and she often retreats to her crate, which serves as her safe space. Her ideal home will be patient, understanding, and committed to helping her continue gaining confidence at her own pace. A home with older or no children and another friendly dog would be a great fit.

As a young, large-breed dog who is still growing, Tilly's future family should be prepared for the needs and training that come with a large dog.
