Lila

Hi, I’m Lila! If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate pup who loves to snuggle, I’m your girl. My absolute favorite thing in the world is curling up next to my person for belly rubs—seriously, I could fall asleep like that in minutes!

I was lucky enough to spend some time in short term foster. I’m a well-mannered house guest and completely potty trained. I don’t chew on things I shouldn’t, I sleep through the night, and I won’t beg while you eat (though I might quietly keep you company). I do get a little anxious when I can’t be near you—I’ll whine at the door or baby gate, but I don’t bark, and I settle down after a little while.

I’m still learning not to jump up when I’m excited, and sometimes I get a little mouthy when I’m feeling playful, but I’m very good at listening when you tell me “no.” I love squeaky toys and respond well to redirection. Loud noises don’t bother me much, and I’m happy to relax in my bed while you work.

I haven’t lived with other animals, but I’ve seen plenty of dogs on walks. Sometimes I get a little nervous or excited when I see them, and I might whine or stare. If a dog is reactive toward me, I can get scared and might jump, but I calm down once we’ve put some space between us.

The only thing I really don’t like? Being away from you! I just love being part of the action. If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal best friend, let’s meet—I think we’ll be perfect together!
