Lily is a stunning German Shepherd who came into our care after narrowly escaping euthanasia. Despite everything she has been through, she remains a loving, affectionate girl with so much to offer the right family. Lily would thrive in a semi-rural or rural home with someone experienced with German Shepherds or similar working breeds. She is intelligent, eager to please, and loves learning new things. Already knowing a wide range of commands and tricks, Lily enjoys training and would flourish in a home that can continue to challenge and engage her both mentally and physically. Lily has been well socialised with people and loves human company. She is affectionate, loyal, and enjoys nothing more than settling down for cuddles after a day of adventures. Lily has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), which is successfully managed through her diet and will require lifelong management. We are happy to discuss her condition and care requirements in detail with potential adopters. What Lily’s foster home says about her: ❤️ Happy to be left home alone for up to three hours without any issues. ❤️ Clean and well-mannered in the house. ❤️ Loves cuddling on the sofa and being close to her people. ❤️ A tennis ball enthusiast who would happily play fetch all day. ❤️ Travels well and loves going out in the van. ❤️ Her favourite place is a secure field where she can run and play with her tennis balls. ❤️ Sleeps happily on a rug beside the bed. ❤️ Gentle and trustworthy, with no history of aggression, even when items are taken from her. ❤️ Clever and trainable, responding well to guidance and redirection during walks. ❤️ Endearingly brings “gifts” such as shoes or the TV remote in exchange for treats or attention—but never chews them! As with many shepherds, Lily can be vocal when someone passes the house, but this has improved significantly with consistency and patience. She can be reactive towards other dogs on lead and will need continued training in this area, but she is highly responsive and eager to work with her handler. Due to her size, we feel children aged 7 and over would be most suitable. Lily cannot live with cats. Managing Lily’s dietary needs is essential. She is doing incredibly well on her current regime, but as she loves food, care must be taken to ensure she cannot access unsuitable items. Her foster home reports that this has improved greatly now that her condition is well managed. Sadly, Lily is now back in kennels and finding it very difficult. After experiencing the comfort of a home, kennel life is proving particularly hard for her. She desperately needs a forever family who can offer her the love, security, and companionship she deserves. Lily is working with a trainer and doing exceptionally well, lots of support can be offered post adoption to help settle her in Lily has so much love to give and is ready to become someone’s loyal best friend.
