Lily has been an animal lover her whole life. Her passion for working with animals started with horses. She developed her training skills through years of experience, eventually competing in shows, earning national recognition in her division, and winning multiple first-place ribbons at local events. Over time, her interest shifted to dog training and canine behavior. She studied different training methods and breed-specific behaviors, gaining hands-on experience by working at doggy daycares and later at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh. She was then offered an apprenticeship with a well-respected dog trainer. Through this experience, she developed strong skills in off-leash training, which ultimately led her to start Fetch & Follow

 

In addition to Fetch & Follow, Lily is in the process of launching Death Row Dogs Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping bully breeds. Inspired by her own dogs, Benny and Opal, she is passionate about giving these dogs a second chance.
