From just a few months old Lily was a member of the family. She had lots of love from her "mum and dad". She lived a very comfortable life, inside the house she would lie on the sofa for a cuddle. In the garden she was able to lay in the sun or shade, survey her surroundings, plenty of grounds for her to roam around. She had the perfect life for a Mastin, but sadly no more.

We did find Lily a new home but sadly her adopter pulled out just a matter of weeks before she was due to travel. Despite our efforts to find her another home, we didn't get any other offers or either foster or adoption.

Lily had to be placed in kennels. All the luxury she knew from her previous life has gone. She is cared for but not like she was before.

Lily has an adopted sister, Norma. They are both in the same position and are still together in the kennels, but where is their new family?

Lily is a beautiful Mastin mix who is back in our care, due to her owner’s ill health. She has been loved and well cared for since she was just 16 weeks old, and this difficult change is through no fault of her own.

Lily is now five years old. She is microchipped, has her passport, and is comfortable around children, dogs, and cats within the home environment. She is 128cm from nose to tail and 83cm tall, and weighs 54.60kg

Lily is a loyal and affectionate dog who forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. She loves getting out and about and is able to walk long distances. While she can be strong on the lead, this has improved as she has matured, and she responds well to guidance, particularly when first setting off on walks. Lily does not enjoy water, possibly due to a past traumatic experience, and prefers to keep her paws firmly on dry ground.

At home, Lily is calm, observant, and protective. She enjoys running around the garden, playing occasionally with pull-type toys, and then settling down to quietly watch over her surroundings. She has a natural guarding instinct and takes pride in looking after her home and family.
Lily is very loving and enjoys sitting close to her people — often joining them on the sofa — but she also has an independent streak and a gentle stubbornness that is typical of her breed. She is intelligent and responsive, coming when called and happily following basic commands such as sit, lie down, and giving a paw.

She enjoys being brushed with a soft brush and prefers minimal grooming, keeping herself remarkably clean. Lily has lived happily with grandchildren and resident cats, although she is not comfortable with cats outside her own home. She is polite with visitors when her people are present but does not seek attention from strangers away from her familiar environment.

Lily eats twice a day and enjoys a varied diet, including dry and wet food, along with meat, chicken, eggs, and vegetables.

This gentle, loyal girl is looking for a calm, understanding home that will respect her independent nature while giving her the love, security, and companionship she thrives on. Lily has so much devotion to offer and is ready to begin her next chapter with the right family by her side.
