Hello to our wonderful dog loving friends and faithful supporters,
Thank you for your tremendous support of our Saving Senior Dogs Week 2022 – we raised over $55,000! 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 2023 will be October 23rd – October 29th
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 2023, we'll be partnering with senior dog rescue organizations from across the United States to present the fourth annual Saving Senior Dogs Week, a national campaign to raise public awareness of the plight of homeless senior dogs (with even more need in the time of COVID-19), 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 2022, contact Alice Mayn at alice.lilyslegacysds@gmail.com or call 707-787-7010. |

We would like to thank actress and film documentarian Jacqueline Piñol, creator and host of The Canine Condition podcast, for inviting Alice to be a guest on an episode about senior dogs. We invite you to listen to the 33 minute episode, "They're Not Senior Dogs, They're Vintage Dogs", as Jacqueline talks to Alice about Lily’s Legacy, Saving Senior Dogs Week, and the joys of adopting “Vintage Dogs”.
Alice did an awesome job!

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.
One of the first things 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” so that all of their needs will be covered. I’ve attached 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 at the time of registering or as part of their estate plan, also to 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 me to meet your dogs and answer any questions.
Warm Regards,
Alice Mayn

COVID19 has affected us all. At Lily's we are going out of our way to stay safe. We have reduced our volunteers to just 1 or 2 per shift. When walking our dogs we keep 6ft or more away from each other. Hand washing has always been important here at Lily's. During this time it has become obsessive. Hands are washed before & after handling each dog. Our kennels are kept meticulously clean. Floors and sidings are disinfected on a bi-daily basis. Bed sheets and blankets are regularly laundered and a disinfectant is added to each load. When the need arises for volunteers to share close quarters, face masks are worn.
Team Lily... we will get thru this. We understand the stress and financial strain this has put on everyone in Lilyland. As our dogs still have major expenses, we are asking you to give what you comfortably can. Our senior dogs count on the benevolence of those who believe in our vision and support our mission. Thank you!
