Lillian (Lilly) is the bestest girl! Shes seriously what so many look for in an adopted dog. Beyond sweet, calm, nondestructive, easy. She gets along perfectly with both humans and dogs alike. She’s the type of dog that never looks for conflict and is happy no matter what life throws her way. She just goes with the flow and adjusts because life is too short to be complicated. But sadly complicated is exactly what Lilly’s short life has become.
Lilly was adopted approximately 2 years ago. Everything was good until it wasn’t. About 6 months ago Lillian developed female incontinence issues. The adopter took her to a couple of vets but ultimately decided the incontinence wasn’t something she could deal with long term so Lilly was returned to us. Lilly lucked out and landed right back with the foster family who originally fostered her. She spent several weeks seeing our vet and monitoring her bloodwork and we now have a diagnosis. Lilly has Protein losing nephropathy (PLN). Essentially it’s a form of kidney disease. It will never go away but can be treated with a combination of prescription foods and medication. She will likely always have a bit of urinary incontinence but sporting cute little pants helps to manage that issue.
Lilly is fantastic with dogs of all sizes and loves children. She has a sweet and calm temperament and is as quiet as a mouse. Shes a very easy girl, even with the incontinence issue, and her personality would work for any adoptive situation. Shes just a kind dog hoping that an equally kind family can help her manage her medical issue, love her forever and give her the life she’s always deserved.

Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley's Mutts:
Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
All pets will be spayed or neutered
All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
