Lilly, Plott hound
Lilly is an adorable female Plott hound puppy in the care of Paw Print Hearts Inc.

Notes from Lilly's caretakers:
Meet Lilly. She is 4 months old, rambunctious and loves everyone (sometimes the cats say she loves them TOO much!). Sometimes, she can be pretty dominant and over zealous for such a young puppy. But we are working on her manners. Contact us to meet her and be prepared for puppy kisses!
