Age: 5 months
Adoption fee: $650
About
This pretty youngster is Lilly, a sweet-natured red cattle dog pup born on 16 December 2021.
If you had to pick one word to describe Lilly, it would be affectionate.
She wants to be everyone’s best friend and she loves to get up close and personal.
If she could sit on your lap, she would.
With a little time to settle, you will see a confident dog that will make a loyal and loving companion for a family or an individual.
She’s good with children but is probably too exuberant for the very young.
She loves other dogs and currently lives with two other pups, a male and a female.
She also lives with a cat, but their relationship is still subject to negotiation.
Clever and eager to please, Lilly is making progress with her basic commands.
She is getting the hang of “sit and stay” before being invited to eat, which is a hard ask for a girl who loves her food.
Her recall is good.
She walks well on a halti, but not so well on a standard collar.
She’s definitely an inside-outside dog and is house-trained.
She has claimed the lounge as her bed – lucky pup – and sleeps right through the night.
Lilly does not jump fences.
Preference will be given to homes where someone is around most of the time and/or there is another compatible dog for Lilly to play with.
Prior experience with working dog breeds will be highly regarded.
She is not suited to life in the backyard by herself and secure fencing is a must.
If you are interested in meeting Lilly, please complete the online application at southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and one of our volunteers will be in touch.
Her adoption fee is $650 and she is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.
