Lila is all dressed up and looking for her new forever home!

Sweet Lila is a 15 year old spayed female poodle. She is fostered by Miri's Haven Senior Dog Rescue in Baltimore, MD.

She LOVES walks! One night she took her foster mom on an hour long walk!

She also loves her food, giving kisses, and naps! She only has 4 teeth but she still loves her treats!

She does have a heart condition and takes Vetmedin every 12 hours.

If you would be interested in adopting Lila, visit mirishaven.org for more information.
