Lilly 3-adopted!

She was bought from a pet shop without permission from mom and dad so that did not work out too well for Lilly. Luckily for her, a family friend took her in so she would not end up at the animal shelter. As much as the new family wanted to keep her, they were already at the local, legal limit for pets and could not keep her. That is where ARF and hopefully, you come into the picture. 

She is 11 months old and is spayed, up to date on her shots and ready to begin life with her forever family. She is crate trained and we are told she is house broken too and knows sit (sort of). She has all the enthusiasm you'd expect to see in a girl of her age. She has a lot of puppy in her and will need a lot of training and love and exercise. 

Lilly has the wonderful lab temperament that so many of us find irresistible. She starts to melt your heart with her warm eyes and soft snuggles. Then she wants to play! This girl loves fetch and with the jump she has in her legs she just might give the frisbee champs something to look at. What a sweet heart. Can you let her into your heart?

UPDATE: Lilly has behaviorally passed and evaluation by the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation and is being considered for entrance into training as a search dog, pending a medical evaluation. 

Lilly passed her medical exam, but was put through more retrieving abilities. It was decided that she did not have the extreme drive that they were looking for. It was a difficult decision among several of their trainers, but it was decided to return her back to ARF. Lilly got adopted immediately on her return to ARF.
