Lily

German Shepherd Β· Female

Meet Lily 🐾 Age: 4 years Size: Large Sex: Neutered Female Good with other dogs: Mildly reactive on lead but good with proper introductions Good with cats: No Good with children: 7+ Lily is a stunning German Shepherd who came into our care after narrowly escaping euthanasia. Despite everything she has been through, she remains a loving, affectionate girl with so much to offer the right family. Lily would thrive in a semi-rural or rural home with someone experienced with German Shepherds or similar working breeds. She is intelligent, eager to please, and loves learning new things. Already knowing a wide range of commands and tricks, Lily enjoys training and would flourish in a home that can continue to challenge and engage her both mentally and physically. Lily has been well socialised with people and loves human company. She is affectionate, loyal, and enjoys nothing more than settling down for cuddles after a day of adventures. Lily has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), which is successfully managed through her diet and will require lifelong management. We are happy to discuss her condition and care requirements in detail with potential adopters. What Lily's foster ho

About Lily

What life with Lily looks like

Lily is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Auras Dogs UK in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible β€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lily, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lily?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Auras Dogs UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lily on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lily if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Auras Dogs UK will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lily already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lily isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Auras Dogs UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lily and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
