FOSPICE HOMES NEEDED
We need your help!
We have some pups in need of fospice homes! As much as we selfishly would like to keep them here to snuggle with us at the sanctuary, they all deserve a warm and loving place to land at the end of their life.
As a fospice, Lily’s Legacy would provide all medications, medical costs and care and you would provide the food and needed supplements for the pups. You would agree to care for the pup until the end of their life, no matter how long or short they may have left, providing a loving home for these pups in the time they need it most.
Please consider bringing one of these sweet seniors in need into your home! Contact us at [email protected] or 707-787-7010 for more info.

Tank | Yellow Lab | 11-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 80 lbs. FOSPICE HOME NEEDED
Tank came to us from a Central Valley shelter where he had ended up after his owner passed away. Tank came in with a sister doggy sibling who was adopted by a family friend and sadly Tank was left behind on his own at the shelter. We couldn’t let that be his fate, so we found space and brought him up to Lily’s.
At 11 years young, Tank does not let his hip dysplasia and arthritis get in the way of his exploration. With the curiosity and enthusiasm of a youthful pup, Tank has proven that age is just a number! Tank gets along with doggies and humans alike at the sanctuary, excitedly approaching new furry friends for play and asking for belly rubs from those with opposable thumbs! Tank is stealing hearts left and right at Lily’s and once you meet him, you will see why!
Tank has a heart condition and is on medication for it, but the condition isn't curable and over time, his body may stop responding to the medication. But in the meantime, Tank has plenty of adventure left to squeeze out of this life and would love a home of his own where he can be the playful, lovable goofball he is! He deserves to find someone to give him the best rest-of-his-life, however long that may be. Tank does not have a “timeline” and should remain treated just like a normal dog, getting his daily walks and sniffaries and LOTS of cuddles. A bonus would be a doggie friend and playmate!

Charlie | Lab/Pittie Mix | 10-Years-Old | Male | Approx. 65 lbs. FOSPICE HOME NEEDED
Charlie is a bundle of pure love, hoping to find the other half of his Velcro during his final time. This sweet boy was found on the side of the road in pretty rough shape including eye abrasions, ear infections, skin masses and sadly, fluid in his lungs that has been confirmed to be terminal cancer. Despite it all, Charlie is always happy to see you with his toothy smile, active tail and enthusiastic grunts. We don’t know much time Charlie has left, but he deserves to spend it surrounded by loving humans he can call his own.
Charlie is on some meds to keep him comfortable and will need periodic checks at our vet. Given the cancer has caused fluid to build up in his lungs, Charlie will need to be kept as calm as possible to avoid respiratory failure. That all said, he still enjoys his leashed, short walks and even more, CUDDLES! Charlie is a wonderful companion and promises to be an even better house guest!

Copper | Lab Mix | 14-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 65 lbs. FOSPICE HOME NEEDED
Copper is a sweet old man looking to live out the rest of his days in a loving home. Copper was found as a stray in a campground in the Delta when he wandered up to some good people looking for food.
Copper is easy to love. He draws you in with his sweet face and affinity for cuddles. We’re not sure of his past, but we’re doing the best we can to make up for it in the time he has left with lots of TLC, good medical care and nutritious food. Copper has gotten along well with every other dog he’s met and seems to enjoy their company.
Copper has an inoperable liver mass that makes him a hospice dog. In addition, he suffers from doggy dimentia which causes some confusion and aloofness, but at the heart of it all, Copper is as sweet as can be. While he doesn’t ask for much, Copper likely wasn’t house trained as a pup and needs someone who is patient and willing to work around his potty schedule. Otherwise, he is as happy as can be in the company of his humans and going on short walks.

Hello to our wonderful dog loving friends and faithful supporters,
Thank you for your tremendous support of our Saving Senior Dogs Week! We are humbled by the support, love, and sharing we received during our SAVING SENIOR DOGS WEEK campaign. Your passion, compassion, conviction, and joy about saving and enriching the lives of senior dogs is inspiring!
Saving Senior Dogs Week 2026 will be October 25th–October 31st.
We are looking forward to another great week. We choose the last week of October for Saving Senior Dogs Week in the hopes that it will provide impetus for people to adopt during National Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November of each year. We look forward to the wonderful stories yet to be written for all of the beautiful senior souls who need humans to love them, and who will love those humans right back, and then some!
Our deepest gratitude to each of you, from the bottom of our hearts and paws!!

In October, we'll be partnering with senior dog rescue organizations from across the United States to present the seventh annual Saving Senior Dogs Week, a national campaign to raise public awareness of the plight of homeless senior dogs, all across the United States. We’re hoping once again to bring even more attention to this cause and to raise much needed funds for senior dog rescues to continue to carry out their missions.
If you’re interested in becoming a partnering senior dog rescue or to become a sponsor of Saving Senior Dogs Week, contact Alice Mayn at [email protected] or call 707-787-7010. |

Lily's Legacy in the News....
Michael, Bettina & Lady
Lily’s Legacy Lifetime Care Program
Thank you for thinking ahead about the care of your dogs if you should be unable to do so.
The first thing we do to set up a dog with our Lifetime Care Program is meet the dog or dogs to do a behavior assessment. We do this to make sure he/she is a dog we can commit to bringing into our program should the time come. If it is not feasible for us to meet your dog, we try to arrange another way to do the
assessment. It is important that your dog gets along well with both people and other dogs?
Once we have determined that your dog is a fit for our program, we have you fill out our pet profile form for each dog. We ask that you set up a pet trust for your dog and fund it sufficiently with an amount that gives you "peace of mind” that all of their needs will be covered. We will send you a pet trust expense checklist to help you determine the how much would be appropriate to leave for your dog. At the end of the lifetime of your dog, if there is anything left in the trust, the remainder would be gifted to Lily’s Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary so we can help more senior dogs and senior people.
We also ask that you make an annual gift in any amount to Lily’s Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary to help build the security of the organization and ensure that we will be around if/when your dogs need us. Some people also choose to leave an additional unrestricted donation to Lily’s Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary in their estate plan above and beyond the pet trust, which will help fortify our organization's future in carrying out our mission. This is all voluntary and not a requirement.
Please check with your attorney to set up a Pet Trust for your dog. Let me know if you have any questions. The first step would be to set up a time for us to meet your dogs and answer any questions.
Warm Regards,
Alice Mayn
