Tilly

Meet Tilly! Saved from an overcrowded California shelter, transported to safety in Oregon, and ready to join your pack.

Tilly is a 6-month-old, 25-pound girl who is the perfect mix of confident, cautious, and curious. Based on her size, coloring, and temperament, there might be some truth to her being a Basenji mix! Tilly is a silly, social, happy gal who seems to be content in many situations. Playful dogs in the home? Great! She'll love it. Respectful kids at home? Yay! More friends! Only have some boring adults who like to sit around and read? That's okay! Get Tilly her library card, and she'll be happy to curl up next to you with a good book. She's been learning her leash skills and enjoys walks around the neighborhood, taking in all the sights and sounds with curiosity and a little caution. She is a pro at potty training and hasn't had any issues in her foster home as long as she's given plenty of opportunities to be outside. She's also learning to appreciate puppy naps in her crate and has relaxed with her Kong for 3 hours during the day. She's willing to sleep in it all night but would prefer to be next to you in the bed. But get ready—when it's time to let her out, your house and yard become an obstacle course for Puppy Parkour! She tears through the space with zoomies and excitement in rejoining her friends. Tilly is a sharp girl and doesn't miss much. She is at the perfect age for positive reinforcement training classes, and with her keen focus, agile body, eagerness to please, and food motivation, we are sure she will be the top of her class. She is so excited about life and doesn't want to miss anything, so don't be surprised if she tries to sneak out the front door to tag along with you! Her new family must be committed to creating a safe environment for Tilly to thrive. She is only a puppy and still has so much to learn, but based on what we've seen in her foster home, she is working hard on becoming the ultimate doggie best friend and all-around goodest girl.

Ideal Home

Her new family must be committed to creating a safe environment for Tilly to thrive. She may try to sneak out the front door to tag along, so secure doors are a must!

Ongoing Health

Tilly is currently un-spayed. Her new family will have to agree to taking her to her spay appointment at a later date (cost covered by Underdogs Rock Rescue.) Underdogs Rock Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.

Training & Support

Tilly is learning her leash skills and puppy naps in her crate. She can be a bit mischievous and zoom through the house when let out, so continued training and enrichment will be beneficial.
