Gorgeous Tilly is a large American Bulldog aged 8+ and to know her is to love her! She is a firm favourite with her carers at Dogs Trust Merseyside and gives back the love she receives tenfold. She deserves to be loved and at the heart of a family.
Tilly loves playtime and will happily entertain herself (and everyone) with a few things to fling around and be silly with. She will happily approach people for a fuss but can get spooked if her personal space is invaded unexpectedly. She does seem more comfortable with women but has taken quickly and wonderfully to her male foster carer. Tilly is a real sweetheart and shows this to anyone who takes the time to get to know her.
Tilly really likes to get out and explore (and go to the pub!) and she simply loves being in the car. She isn’t a fan of other dogs and will make her feelings clear if they’re too close. It’s best to allow her to keep some distance between herself and other dogs. So Tilly needs a home free from other pets and where any children are older teens over the age of 16 and can recognise when Tilly doesn’t want to be bothered, for instance if she has a nice, long-lasting treat. She is house-trained and can be left alone for four hours.
Tilly’s favourite thing is to be made a fuss of, but she’s less keen on formal handling, such as baths and ear cleaning. Tilly is a big ol’ girl with some age-related aches and pains and she’s had a tough time of late. She does get recurring ear infections and also has dry eye. She is not considered to be XL Bully type.
