More about Lillie

Meet lovely Lillie!

Lillie originally came to Battersea from a Greyhound Rescue. She was rehomed and then returned through no fault of her own. She is an ex-racer with a gentle, affectionate nature.

As sweet as her name suggests, Lillie loves interacting with people and will happily seek out fuss from familiar faces and new friends alike. She truly enjoys human company and has a calm, loving presence. She can be a little needy and would benefit from some confidence building around independence.

Lillie can feel a little worried around other dogs and prefers the company of calm, steady companions who are happy to walk politely by her side. She has been known to tell off more boisterous dogs and will remove herself from situations when she feels uncomfortable. For this reason, she may potentially live with another calm, like minded greyhound but wouldn't benefit from living with other types of dogs.

Despite her racing background, it isn't a necessity for Lillie to be muzzled and remain on lead whenever she is out and about. Though owners would need to be vigilant if there're small fluffy dogs running about. It may be in her best interest to stay on a long line until recall is 100%. She would also really benefit from having her own garden or communal areas, where she can relax and enjoy sniffing in a safe, familiar space.
