Sweet, social, snugglebug - is Tilly May the trifecta of terrificness?! We think yes!
If you’re out on a walk and Tilly spots a group of people, you best be ready to make some new friends as she’ll march you right into the middle of things and will not be leaving until she’s had her fill of pats and praise (and with a face like hers, there will be praise a’plenty!). She loves nothing more than to say hello to humans and canines alike!
Tilly can take a little while to build confidence in new places, especially if they are very noisy or have lots of traffic - but once she’s found her feet she will stride out and enjoy her explorations. She needs at least two half an hour walks a day, but she happily takes more if it is on offer. She would make a wonderful companion for slow strolls out in nature or on quiet trails, and her foster carers have noted she can go up to two hours on an adventure.
A fluffy toy connoisseur, Tilly May takes the “fuzzy tax” very seriously and will ensure that she gets to have a turn with anything that looks like a stuffed toy (fluffy make up bags included!). She is a gentle playmate and mostly wants to cuddle with these toys in her bed.
While Tilly is a cool cucumber when left home alone, she loves the company of other dogs and could easily share her home with another medium to large dog. If she was an only dog she would appreciate the opportunity for regular socialising - including safe off lead play in her yard or at family/friends. When very excited she does get the “twirly wirlies” and does crazy zoomies, so she should be carefully supervised around small dogs and humans to ensure she doesn’t knock anyone over accidentally.
This sweet little bean is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, and we know she’ll make a forever home very happy!
