Adopt Lilly a Senior Pit Bull Mix and #BSL Victim at #WaysideWaifs | Tuesdays Tails



This sweet girl is Lilly.  She's an 8 1/2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix and she is a victim of BSL.  When the town she lived in enacted breed specific legislation, her family was unable to move, so they surrendered her to Wayside Waifs.

Here's Lilly's adoption message:
Let me introduce myself, I am a beautiful American Pit Bull Mix, my name is Lilly and I am 8 -years-old. Sadly, my owner surrendered me because I was not allowed in the city where we lived. Such a sad rule because it means so many great Pit Bulls like me will miss out on being adopted by some awesome families.

I am such a sweet and laid back girl and I am longing for a home of my own. I have been at Wayside for too long now, and even though I have made some really special friends, I am ready for a family. Just hearing the word family gives me a twinkle in my eye because I know that my family is out there somewhere. Could that family be you? I may be a little older but I have so much love to give! My buddies here at Wayside describe me as a loyal and loving girl and not to toot my own horn, but I agree!

My previous owners gave Wayside more information about me in the hopes that it would help me find a home. They said I was happiest when I was exercised daily! It will be important to me to have both physical and mental stimulation daily. Enrichment toys would be a wonderful way to help me use my brain more! I will probably need a refresher with my house training and basic obedience but I am well on my way! Plus, I am eager to please you and that will help me get where I need to be. My previous owner also said I am great in the car, so if you are looking for a fun riding buddy, I'm your girl! They also said I am an excellent snuggle buddy! I loved to sleep in the bed or on the couch; as long as I was near my people I was one happy lady.

I was tested with other dogs when I first came to Wayside and I didn't get along well with them. The staff thinks it would be best if I am the only animal in the home. I know it seems like a lot to ask but with all the changes I've had at this age in my life I am just wanting to soak up all the love I can from you and not have to share! Due to my age and the fact that I wasn't around kids very much before, I should go to a home with kids over 5 years old. Sometimes an older girl like me can get overwhelmed with a lot of commotion going on! I am a very special and a sweet girl and I so deserve a second chance in a loving home.

I hope after reading my story you realize that I am the one for you, the part of your life that has been missing! Come on out to Wayside Waifs and ask to meet Lilly! I'll be here waiting patiently until the day you walk through the door for me!
Hugs and Kisses,
Love Lilly
