Wickedly smart dog found wandering streets all alone. Now she needs a home
A darling pup in Indiana has undergone a big glow-up — not with her looks, but with her timid personality.
“From lost and scared … to loyal and loving, meet Lilith,” the Humane Society for Hamilton County in Fishers said in an April 16 Facebook post. Lilith, a tan terrier with a ton of puppy glee to spread around, wasn’t the happy girl she is now when she was first found as a stray.
“Lilith was just a baby, only one year old, when she was found wandering the streets in October. Alone. Confused. Terrified. She didn’t know what came next, but what she needed most was someone to give her a chance,” the shelter said.
“Now? Lilith is still young, still learning, and still searching for a family.”
The intelligent pup is known for being a little beam of light and a giant cuddle bug these days, her pet profile says.
“She’s young, full of joyful energy, and completely devoted to her people,” her profile says.
“Lilith loves to cuddle, loves to learn, and loves to be included in whatever you’re doing. She already knows a few cues like ‘sit,’ ‘paw,’ and ‘go lay down,’ and she’s super food-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for both of you.”
While Lilith plays well with other dogs — cats are not her favorite thing.
“She plays well with other dogs, but no cats for this girl,” the shelter says. “And since she’s still figuring out how to handle those big puppy feelings (like when she gets too excited and starts bouncing around!), she’ll do best with older kids (8+) who understand how to help her stay calm and confident.”

Fishers is about a 20-mile drive northeast from downtown Indianapolis.
