My story

Hi! I'm Lilah, and I'm currently accepting applications for my forever family. A few things you should know about me: I firmly believe that personal space is overrated. If you're sitting down, congratulations — you've just become my couch buddy. If I can fit on your lap, I'm going to give it my best shot. My hobbies include squeaking soft toys, solving the incredibly important puzzle known as "How do I get these treats out of this Kong?", and collecting compliments about what a good girl I am. I'm pretty polite on leash! I like to walk out front to see what's happening, but I listen when my person asks me to slow down. Since I'm still a young lady, I'd love to keep learning with some training classes. I hear they're a great way to earn snacks! My energy level is low to medium, which means I'm always up for an adventure, but I'm equally happy hanging out with my people afterward. I came to the shelter as an unclaimed stray, and while I have some scars on my head and legs that hint at a story we'll probably never know, they don't define who I am. What does define me is my sweet, gentle heart. The shelter staff absolutely adore me and honestly, the feeling is mutual. I was a rock star during my medical exam, letting everyone handle me without a fuss. Apparently, not everyone enjoys blood draws... but I figured being brave was the way to go! I may even enjoy having a calm, polite canine roommate one day, as long as we're introduced nice and slowly. So, if you've been searching for a loyal sidekick, an expert cuddle consultant, and a dog whose greatest ambition is simply to love her people with her whole heart, I think we should meet. I promise to bring the snuggles, the squeaky toy entertainment, and the unconditional love. All you have to do is bring me home. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Lilah has an appointment to be spayed on July 15th. She will be ready to go to her forever home after this surgery. Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

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