There is really no "nice" way to start this bio for Lillian :( She was a Cruelty case from Hondo, TX. She was taken by Animal Control because she was being beaten up in the yard by her "owner" and a neighbor called the police for help AND THEY HELPED HER!!!!. It is unusual in TX to have the people surrender their dog because- like in the DARK ages, animals are considered "property"... You know.. like a purse or a pair of jeans...............
But enough of the depressing facts.. lets talk FUTURE for Lillian 😊
She is a sweet mooshy girl, ONCE she knows you and that she can trust you. Can't blame her. She is shy at first then warms up, sweet when she knows she is safe.
She will "smile at you" or can nip out of fear, so her future family has to be adult only and patient. She is not the happy go lucky dog/puppy that everyone wants AT FIRST, and you have to understand that up front. HOWEVER, there is NO GREATER love than a pup who KNOWS the bad and GETS THE GOOD 😊 She will be a goofy girl when she knows you are her family.
She is adoptable only in TX and has to have a meet and greet with her and her foster to get your stamp of approval to adopt Lillian.
She loves dogs, NEEDS a playmate.
So if you are the one for her, you will know. ADOPT...... DON'T SHOP!!!! Over a MILLION pets a YEAR DIE WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU :(

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
