Lily is a 2 year old female Labrador Retriever Cross. She is a beautiful young mixed-breed girl with a look that hints at Labrador heritage and a personality full of life and love.
Rescued from Cyprus, she is now based near Peacehaven and ready to find her perfect forever home.
At nearly two years old, Lily is in her prime—full of energy, curiosity, and affection. She weighs around 22 kg and stands approximately 60 cm at the shoulder.
She thrives on playtime, especially chasing a ball or enjoying a good tug toy session, and she is just as happy settling down afterward for a well-earned rest.
Lily is house-trained, clean, and sleeps soundly through the night in her crate for up to nine hours. She sees her crate as her safe space and settles well after walks, though she does enjoy having people around when she is awake.
She communicates clearly too—expect a loud bark when she needs to go outside.
Out on walks, Lily is generally good on the lead, though she can get excited and pull if something catches her eye—especially squirrels or rabbits, as she has a strong prey drive.
Her recall is improving well, and she responds reliably to a whistle when using a long line.
She is friendly and sociable with other dogs when out and about, often engaging in playful, appropriate interactions, particularly with younger, energetic dogs.
However, due to her high energy and enthusiasm, she would be best suited as the only dog in the home or with a similarly playful companion. She would not be suitable for a home with cats or small animals.
Lily has not yet been fully assessed around children, as she is still quite bouncy and can jump up or mouth when excited. Therefore, any children in her new home should be older and confident around dogs. With continued training and guidance, she is making great progress and shows every sign of becoming a wonderfully well-rounded dog.
The only reason Lily is looking for a new home is due to a mismatch with the resident older dog, who cannot meet her playful needs. This has led to a few incidents driven by Lily’s excitement rather than aggression.
Lily is a truly sweet and affectionate girl who is learning quickly and eager to please. In the right home—one that can match her energy, continue her training, and give her the love and structure she needs—she will make an incredibly loyal and loving companion.
