Adopt Lily - in the UK

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Meet Lily – A Sweet, Affectionate Young Dog Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾 Lily 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’s now based near Peacehaven and ready to find her perfect forever home. At nearly 2 years old, Lily is in her prime—full of energy, curiosity, and affection. She weighs around 22kg and stands approximately 60cm at the shoulder . She thrives on playtime, especially chasing a ball or enjoying a good tug toy session, and she’s 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’s 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 hasn’t yet been assessed around children, as she is still quite bouncy and can jump up or mouth when excited. So we think any children in her new home should be teens who are confident around dogs. With continued training and guidance, she is making great progress and shows every sign of being 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, 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. Could you be the one to give Lily the forever home she deserves?

About Lily - in the UK

What life with Lily - in the UK looks like

Lily - in the UK is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dali Dog Rescue UK in Dali.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇾Adopting from Cyprus

Cypriot rescues focus heavily on cross-border placements (the island has more strays than local adopters). Animals are fully vetted before flying. The adopter pays the transport, while the shelter coordinates vaccinations, chipping, and the passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lily - in the UK, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lily - in the UK?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dali Dog Rescue UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lily - in the UK on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lily - in the UK if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dali Dog Rescue 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lily - in the UK 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 — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lily - in the UK isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dali Dog Rescue UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lily - in the UK 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 — 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.
