Sweet Tilly – A Resilient Soul with the Sweetest Heart Tilly is a 6-year-old petite greyhound with a stunning light auburn brindle coat, a distinguished dark face mask, and one adorably floppy left ear that gives her irresistible character. When she prances down the sidewalk with her quirky Clydesdale gait, she's an absolute eye-catcher. This remarkable girl has overcome tremendous hardships to become the happy, well-adjusted companion she is today. When Tilly first came into foster care, she had everything to learn – stairs, leash walking, potty training, even how to be a pet. She tackled each new challenge like a champ and has blossomed into the happiest little girl ever. What makes Tilly special is her gentle, undemanding nature. She's unusually independent for a greyhound and will often put herself to bed in another room, making her ideal for families who appreciate a dog that isn't underfoot constantly. Yet when she's with you, she's extremely affectionate and loving. When she feels confused or out of her depth, she does the most endearing thing – she simply freezes and stares straight ahead rather than panicking. She's truly unobtrusive and an incredibly easy dog to have in the house. Tilly is wonderfully polite on walks, non-reactive to dogs of all sizes, and loves all people (though she may be a touch shy initially). She doesn't bark at the doorbell, isn't destructive, and has recently discovered the joy of playing with toys for the first time in her life. She's still learning to play with her foster siblings and can be a little clumsy in her enthusiasm, but this clever girl picks up new skills every week. Tilly is deeply empathetic and sensitive – she needs a little confidence building, as corrections can make her feel terribly guilty. When she apologizes with those big brown eyes, your heart will absolutely melt. She thrives with gentle guidance and patience. Low-maintenance, sweet-natured, and resilient beyond measure – Tilly is ready to bring her gentle presence and loving heart to her forever home.  We so not know yet if she can live with cats or if she requires a companion.   We adopt within 1 1/2 hours of Kansas City.December 21, 2025, 6:34 pm
