Looking for a bundle of energy? Or a new adventure buddy?
Meet Tilley! Still a puppy and just eight months old, this Australian Shepherd Husky mix is ready to find her new home. She loves 2-3 walks a day, but that doesn’t mean she can’t relax - Tilley loves to find a free lap to watch some TV, too!
Smart, affectionate, and gorgeous – Tilley is the whole package. Visit the Victoria Humane Society to find out more about Tilley and see the other animals up for adoption.
