Are you right for Lily?Lily is a lovely lady who is searching for her forever home. She has been happy to say hello to everyone she meets but has shown resource guarding behaviours in the home, so is looking for an adult only home. For this reason, she also needs to be the only dog in the home but can socialise out on walks. Lily does have some worries around traffic, so will prefer walks in quieter areas.

Millie is a beautiful 6-year-old Deerhound cross Poodle, about the size of a Standard Poodle, with the softest, silkiest coat and the most delightfully goofy hair you’ve ever seen. She turns heads wherever she goes but it’s her gentle soul that truly makes her special.Millie’s world was turned upside down when she lost her canine companion, and she’s been struggling to find her footing ever since. She’s a sensitive, affectionate girl who forms deep bonds, and right now she’s feeling that loss more than ever. In kennels, without a familiar friend by her side, she’s finding it hard to relax and be her true self.Millie would thrive in a peaceful home with another well matched dog who can show her the ropes and help her feel safe. In return, she’ll offer quiet companionship, gentle affection, and those endearing, slightly goofy moments that will make you smile every day.She doesn’t need much, just a soft place to land, a steady friend, and someone willing to see the lovely dog she is beneath her worries and help build her confidence in the big wide world.2020 - 2026 Animal Concern Cumbria.
