Lilli is a calm and clever girl with a heart of gold. Found abandoned in a forest in Turkey, Lilli was in a pitiful condition—skinny from starvation and covered in mange. She was found alongside another dog, Lena, and although initially thought to be her pup, they may have simply been dumped together or found each other while wandering alone in the forest. The two of them formed a strong bond, and they were inseparable.

After receiving medical treatment, Lilli and Lena were fostered by a kind Turkish couple, but when they moved to Antalya, the dogs were placed in another foster home. It was at this point that Animal Friends of Turkey (AFOT) was asked for help in finding them loving permanent homes.

Lilli has transformed into a stunning, friendly dog with a lovely temperament. She gets along well with everyone, including children, other dogs, and even cats. She’s affectionate and loves cuddles, with tummy rubs being her absolute favorite. If you’re lucky enough to adopt Lilli, you’ll need to be prepared for plenty of tummy rubs!

While Lilli has a sweet, easygoing nature, she can be a little food aggressive, especially around other dogs. This behavior is common in dogs that have had to fight for food in the past, and any potential adopter should be aware of this and work on training accordingly. Lilli adores her food, and if there’s a resident dog, they should be fed separately to avoid any issues.

Lilli is highly intelligent and enjoys mental stimulation, so she’ll thrive in a home that provides both regular exercise and opportunities for training. She’s good on the lead, so walks with Lilli will be a joy.

This beautiful girl weighs around 40kg and has the most captivating golden eyes. She can be re-homed as an only dog or with a resident male dog. Lilli is used to a home environment, and while she may need a brief period of adjustment, she will quickly bond with her new family once she builds trust.

Lilli is neutered, vaccinated, and chipped, and she’s ready to start the next chapter of her life in the UK.
