LILY

Mixed Breed · Female

Our lovely Lily is looking out for a perfect adoptive home, she does have some very specific requirements. Lily is a very sweet loving girl, she came to us after her owners no longer could keep her.. absolutely no fault of Lilly’s, she’s been her for quite some time now, this is due to her needing a lot of time to come to terms with the change and learning to trust us. Lily can be very nervous of new people, however she is absolutely fabulous with us here, she’s been to the vets and was spayed and she dealt with it all very well, we believe she has suffered some very harsh treatment before coming to us which makes her back off from new people. Lily is a really fun girl, she’s got lots of love to give and we can all see such a positive change in her. Lily needs a one owner adopter.. a woman would be her and ours preference. She won’t adapt into a busy household at all, she needs a home with very few visitors so she doesn’t have to back off and bark and get herself worried. We are confident if she can find that one special person she will settle and absolutely love the one on one attention. An adopter with experience with rescue dogs is must for our girl. We know Lily very well and will know the home when we see it, she’s does truly deserve her own home but if that was to never come we will always keep her safe with us… after chatting to Lily we all decided it was worth to try now to find her a home, she hasn’t been ready until now, is her home out there? Lily is good with other dogs, but she will defend her self if she feels she needs too, her best mate here is Eddie the Pom and the pair of them tear up the fields together and do all their craziness together! We do think she would be better being the only dog though. We can say so much about this girl, so please do contact us if you feel you have the specific environment for our lily, could you be her special person?

About LILY

What life with LILY looks like

LILY is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rushton Dog Rescue in Langport.

An 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 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. Rushton Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — 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 — Rushton Dog Rescue 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 — 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 — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Rushton Dog Rescue 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 — 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.
