Lily

Adopt Lily - Lily found her way to the animal shelter because someone found her and didn't know what to do with her. A matter of fact, it was her and all her siblings. They are so sweet and playful. I just know they would make wonderful family pets. Just remember when adopting a puppy, you have to make time for them. They need a little more attention than an adult dog. Miley has received her first shots and wormer. She is ready to start a new life with a new family that will love her forever.

She is available for adoption at:

Brenham Animal Shelter
2007 Old Chappell Hill Road
979-337-7351
