PET OF THE W EEK
MEET LILLY
Lilly is like a Golden Lab in a
tiny package. She is sweet, silly
and soulful. She did have some
separation anxiety issues with her
previous adopter, so she needs a
home where family is there for
her, maybe a playmate who isn't
demanding. She loves a good belly
rub and her soft blanket.
