Lilli - Kitchener

My story

Lilli is a gentle soul with a soft heart and a thoughtful approach to the world. When meeting new people, she can be a bit nervous and may need a few meet-and-greets to feel safe and confident. Give her that time, and you’ll watch something lovely unfold. Once Lilli knows she can trust you, she blossoms into a playful, affectionate companion. She loves to zoom around and play, then happily settle in for snuggles. And fair warning, when she decides you’re her person, she shows it with an enthusiastic supply of sweet kisses.Lilli would do best with a patient, understanding family who will let her set the pace and celebrate each small win. In return, she offers deep loyalty, joyful playtime, and a whole lot of love wrapped in a gentle package.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:44 lbs HOME TYPE:House or Townhouse- No Large or busy apartments as she can be quite nervous of new environments.
