About Lila

On Saturday, Nov 29 at 4PM, Lila will be humanely euthanized unless someone steps in to save her. Writing this feels like watching her spirit crumble piece by piece. She doesn't want to die - she's only 3-4 years old, and all she's ever done is love with her whole heart. Lila has waited 15 long months behind those cold kennel bars. Fifteen months of watching other dogs leave. Fifteen months of hoping someone would finally see her. Fifteen months of her bright, happy personality being slowly crushed by the stress of shelter life. And now - after all that waiting - she is on the euthanasia list. Soon, she won't be Lila anymore. She'll just be A274705�'�| another number scheduled to disappear. Inside her kennel, the stress has taken over. She jumps, spins, and barks at anyone passing by - not because she's 'bad,' but because she's breaking. Because this place is suffocating her. Because 15 months is too long for any dog to survive emotionally. But outside that kennel? Lila is everything a family could ever hope for. She is house trained. Crate trained. Loves car rides. Good with playful or mellow male dogs. She walks beautifully on leash. And she is absolutely obsessed with tennis balls - they are her whole world. She's sweet. She's loving. She's playful. She is a GOOD dog - a wonderful dog - who has spent far too long waiting for someone to give her a chance. She even did well in a foster home at first�'�| until the stress and jealousy of sharing attention with another dog got the best of her. Lila isn't broken - she's overwhelmed. She needs a calm, patient home where she can finally decompress and remember what it feels like to be safe. I've shared. I've begged. I've hoped. But time is running out. If nobody steps forward�'�| Lila's story ends on Saturday. No more walks. No more tennis balls. No more love. No more life. Lila needs a foster, adopter, or rescue NOW. She cannot stay in the shelter any longer. A training stipend is available through Friends of Pinal Pets. Located at Pinal County Animal Care & Control - Casa Grande, AZ 1150 S.

She deserves so much more than 15 months of waiting just to die alone.
