I'm ready for my new family!

Chantilly, or Tilly for short, is a ton of love, personality, and snuggles with a hint of diva all rolled into a compact 32 lbs of gorgeous brindle and white!!  We call her Silly Tilly!!  She is nearly perfect!  She has impeccable manners!  At 6 years old she is mature enough to know the ropes!  Completely housebroken, fine left alone uncrated for several hours, no inappropriate chewing, listens well and takes treats gently.  Her energy level is perfect.  Mostly chill but will play with toys and have the zoomies in the yard once or twice a day.  She even has a few commands in her repertoire including "sit", "shake", "spin" and "speak"!   She likes a shower too!  She walked right into the stand up shower with her foster Mom so she got a shower  with some lovely human shampoo since her foster Mom wasn't prepared for this!  She was comfortable and easy-going from the start in her foster home and took to the house routine almost immediately.  This girl will acclimate and bond SUPER QUICK with her new lucky family!

She was dumped at a crowded rural shelter in April.  Her family simply stated they could no longer care for her.  The shelter was getting VERY over crowded like all shelters across the U.S. these days so Rogers' took her in to get her off "the list".    It is a sad state our shelters are facing these days.  There are just so many dogs being dumped so we are glad you are here, reading about Tilly, because that means you want to help this situation and ADOPT!!

Tilly is one of the best behaved fosters her foster family has ever had and they have fostered alot of dogs.  Tilly's new family must have one thing. Her new family needs to have a southern facing backyard so she can do what she loves to do best.  SUN BATHE!  (ok any direction backyard will actually do :).   If competitive sunbathing was a thing, Tilly would win GOLD!

Tilly is fine with other dogs.  She was kenneled at the shelter with two and there are 2 resident dogs in her foster home.  She enjoys the company of people over dogs but co-exists lovely with other dogs in the home.  She loves to be where you are but not annoyingly so, loves a sturdy lap to enjoy pets if you let her, and will just snuggle up next you and be happy watching you do what you do!  Need a home office buddy?  A movie watching friend?  An instant guest at backyard BBQs?  Tilly is your gal.  

Tilly's breed is likely Boston Terrier with something else mixed in ... a bulldog perhaps?  Maybe even Beagle?  Only a DNA test will tell us for sure but she is sooooo adorable and has the cutest mug with her underbite!!  You have to meet this gal to really appreciate how easy it is to love her!  Wouldn't it be fun to have a DNA reveal party for this gal??

At this point you may be thinking ... "this gal sounds too perfect.  what is the catch?".  Well there is one catch.  Tilly has a bum back left knee.  It doesn't appear to cause her much pain and she gets around just fine, holding her leg up at times.  We are in the process of getting her evaluated and so far it appears she will need orthopedic knee surgery.   We are open to having her adoptive home take her and get the surgery done either with the vet she is going to now or their own vet and the rescue will pay for the surgery. We are also open to a family stepping up for her but having the surgery and recuperating while still in foster care and then being adopted to her family.  Either way, Tilly gets the care she needs.  Rogers' Rescues always commits to getting the care needed for all our dogs regardless of their issue.

Want to spend the rest of your days with a silly, fun loving gal that will make you laugh and feel unconditionally loved all day?  Apply for Tilly now.  This funny little gremlin is truly one of a kind!!
