Notes: Lilly is an energetic young dog, two to three years old, 45-50 pounds, who loves to explore her surroundings and smell all the smells. She is not completely house trained because she does not get outside as often as she needs but it should not be hard to get her the rest of the way. Lilly walks well on leash although she does pull sometimes. She is friendly with people and should do fine with older children. She is somewhat selective about her dog friends but not aggressive, she just likes to express her opinion. Lilly would love a forever home with a family with an active lifestyle who enjoy long hikes in the woods and who want to spend lots of time giving their dog the belly rubs she loves.
