Lilly, terrier and pit bull terrier mix

Lilly is a winsome female terrier and pit bull terrier mix currently residing at Friends of Strays Inc.

Lilly is spayed and vaccinated. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.

Notes from Lilly's caretakers:

My name is Lilly. I'm a super sweet, gentle soul. I came from a place where I was mistreated, so I'm timid around new people. Once I'm around my K9 pals, I'm like a new gal! I would love to go to a home with at least one other doggy friend and a human that can be patient with me.
