See Tilly in Action!
Tilly has fully embraced the luxurious indoor lifestyle after spending part of her life surviving on the streets. These days, she can be found perched on top of a chair surveying her kingdom, standing proudly in a flowerpot to monitor the yard, or springing into action the moment your shoes and her leash appear. And if a sock disappears while you’re folding laundry, check Tilly’s collection before blaming the dryer.
This Beagle/Heeler mix for adoption is curious, funny, and discovering just how good life can be. Walks are a favorite, and she’ll happily sniff her way through the neighborhood before gently greeting canine friends along the way. She loves back scratches and even has a funny little habit of gently nibbling toes when she’d like your attention. Busy streets and crowded places can still feel overwhelming, but her confidence continues to grow.
Another dog is an important part of that confidence. Tilly looks to canine friends for reassurance and guidance, so she needs a home with a friendly, confident resident dog who can help her navigate new experiences. She may take comfort in having a canine buddy, but she doesn’t require her humans to be home all day. Tilly settles comfortably when left alone and can fit easily into a normal working household.
A patient adopter who lets Tilly approach the world at her own pace will get to see more and more of her affectionate, goofy personality emerge. If you’re hoping to adopt a rescue dog with plenty of quirky charm, this rescue dog for adoption might be your girl. Addicus’ Legacy Dog Rescue has helped Tilly discover indoor life, and she’s ready to keep exploring—one walk, one sniff, and one stolen sock at a time.
Tilly is available for adoption throughout Texas through Addicus’ Legacy Dog Rescue, and to approved adopters in CT, VT, NH, NY, NJ, PA, MD, VA, NC, OH, and TN via a trusted transport partner. With fosters across the region and an Austin-area hub, we place dogs rescued from Texas and Mexico with loving foster families throughout the country.

HOW TO APPLY
Please fill out an adoption application and be sure to completely fill in all fields, as our volunteer adoption coordinators will only follow up on completed applications.
Our coordinators will follow up on all the vet and personal references that you provide and then reach out to you to schedule an interview. It may take a few days as we are 100% volunteer based and our wonderful coordinators also have jobs and families. Please be patient and know that we will be in touch!
Our interviews are typically around 30 minutes in length. We will talk about your home, yard, current and past pets, kids, your schedule and what kind of dog you are looking for. If we feel the dog you applied for is not a good fit, we will suggest a different dog for you to consider.
