The lovely Lila is a 5 year old cross breed. She is very affectionate and loving and adores human company. She will make a wonderful addition to any home.

Lila is polite with other dogs that she meets out on walks and may be able to live with another dog in her new home. She has shown no interest in cats she has passed in the streets so may be able to live with a dog savvy cat in future.



Lila is very good when left and can be left in her crate for about 4/5 hours without a sound. She settles down for a nap with no problems. She is very good at night and waits patiently until you come down in the morning with no sound.

Lila has good basic training and know sit, stay, paw and is learning her new name. She will need some continued training for recall and heel work as she can sometimes be strong on the lead. She is very intelligent and food motivated so with kind, positive training she will catch on quickly.

All Hope Rescue dogs are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped prior to rehoming. A homecheck will be required, and you will need to come and meet the dog with your own dogs and family. Hope Rescue rehomes throughout the UK. A Pre-Home Interest Form can be downloaded from www.hoperescue.org.uk and should be returned to dogs@hoperescue.org.uk

I am not being picky that is Southend, Essex with the longest pier, if anyone wants to have a look around while visiting the dog.
(Has had several fires over the years at the end of the pier..)

she looks very sweet..perhaps bit of staffie in there somewhere.

Well Lila has well and truly settled in to her foster home but is still looking for her own family.



She loves going out for a walk and gets extremely excited when we get ready. We have been to the beach a lot lately as the park is muddy and she is very keen to go in the water, even though it is freezing cold. She is good when we meet dogs out and would probably like to have a friend to play with, preferably someone as lively as herself. She could certainly keep up with a younger dog as she has an endless supply of energy. She loves to run round and round the garden, launching herself off the patio and running behind the bushes, and never seems to tire of being played with. Even after a long walk Lila will always come in and pick up her ball to play.

Lila is learning to wait nicely while you throw her ball and will drop it for you when told. She still prefers to be chased for it though, and would appreciate some dog savvy children to play with her.



Lila likes nothing better than to sit with you wherever you are whether it be on the computer chair behind you or even better on your lap so you can't see what you are doing. However if you are busy she will happily settle in her crate and you will not hear from her until you come back into the room. She is still sleeping all night and happily waits until you get her up in the morning and let her out of her crate.



She enjoys a hide chew and loves to find somewhere to bury it for later, sometimes you will find it in your boot when you go to put it on.

Lila loves a cuddle and gives lovely slobbery kisses when asked.

Lila is still looking

Oh fingers crossed she looks a sweetie...

Lila has been adopted by her fosterer

great news

Isn't she gorgeous! I don't think I'd have been able to resist keeping her forever either with that face.

Great news. Have a wonderful life Lila.
