DESCRIPTION
Meet Tillie – 3-Month-Old Female Puppy
Location: Langley, BC
Tillie is a sweet 3-month-old female puppy looking for her forever home. While we are unsure of her exact breed mix, we expect she will grow into a medium-to-large dog (approximately 65–75 lbs full grown).
Tillie is naturally cautious in new situations, but she improves every single day. Once she feels safe, her playful and affectionate personality shines. We’re now greeted with big tail wags, and she loves when we sit quietly with her. She enjoys being held — it just takes her a minute to melt into your arms. Once she relaxes, she becomes incredibly cuddly and soft-natured.
She is fluffy, gentle, and kind, with happy puppy energy once comfortable.
⸻
Personality & Strengths:
• Sweet and gentle temperament
• Playful once she feels safe
• Affectionate and enjoys cuddles
• Likes to be brushed
• Good with kids
• Good with dogs (with supervision around high-value items)
• Good with cats
• Loves her kennel and x-pen
⸻
Training & Development:
Tillie is still a young puppy and learning the basics.
• Potty training: In progress
• Crate training: In progress
• Confidence building: Ongoing
• Typical puppy behaviors: chewing, stealing items, and occasional accidents
She does show some resource guarding with toys and food, particularly with her sibling. She is currently fed separately. A slow feeder or food puzzle is recommended, as she eats quickly. Continued positive training and structure around feeding will be important for her success.
⸻
Ideal Home:
Tillie would do best in a calm, patient home committed to ongoing puppy training, routine, and structure. She will likely grow into an active dog and will need both mental and physical stimulation as she matures.
Her future family should understand that puppyhood includes accidents, chewing, and learning boundaries. With consistency and gentle guidance, Tillie will continue to grow into a confident and loving companion.
Her fluffy coat will require regular grooming and brushing.
