Dilly

My story

Dilly's story is absolutely heartbreaking. Dilly had lived her whole life with her owner up until June 21, 2024. It was a Friday night when we got a call from the police department, who sent an officer out to do a welfare check on a person. Unfortunately when we arrived on scene, we were notified that Dilly had been inside of her home with her deceased owner for an unknown time. Obviously Dilly was very traumatized, scared, and shutdown when she arrived at the shelter. Every time we tried to reach out to Dilly to pet or love on her she would yelp as if we hurt her, even though we didn't actually touch her. Dilly spent months in our care before she finally let us pet her. Now Dilly has improved a lot but needs a foster or an adopter. We were recently told by a family member that Dilly is good with kids and other dogs, but not cats. Dilly is slow to warm up at first but is a total love bug once she trusts you. Dilly spent her entire life up to this point with her owner, so that's partly why she's slow to warm up. We are working on getting Dilly to the vet for a checkup to see what she needs.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Dilly, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
