Luna
Miss Luna has been ADOPTED! Tom and Trish, a young couple from Petaluma had been looking for their “first” dog, as adults, for some time. They met Luna and fell in love; clearly she was "the one”. Tom is a teacher at the US Coast Guard Training Center in Two Rock, Trish is an account manager and works minutes away from home. They have a good plan for Luna's daily care and will make it work.

Jeter - Our first happy tail of 2020!
Jeter, the three legged pup, was adopted and went home with his new mom and dad, RD and Nancy. RD and Nancy have adopted before from Jeter's foster mom Carole. They will give Jeter the perfect forever home he deserves. RD is retired and Nancy is a school teacher, so someone will always be home.
Update from Carole:
They are so in love with him! They already had been to Pet Food Express and bought Jeter a new collar and leash. He has a new bed and all kinds of toys and he's just all set up for success.

Rico
Rico has found his forever home with our very own volunteer Ann and her kittens. Life is pretty darned great in the Moore household....
"Rico is a perfect doggie, so loving and gentle with kittens. We all cuddle on the bed together. Rico goes everywhere with me. He loves car rides and his walks. I'm so lucky to be able to have him in my life, he is truly a gift." - Ann

Ko'olau (now Paco)
Shortly after Koolau arrived at Lily’s, previous adopters Kimo and Janice came to meet him and fell in love. The whole month of December they patiently waited till he fully recovered from his surgery and was ready to go to his new home. Koolau is now ADOPTED and living with his forever family.
Ko'olau (now Paco) - the chocolate Lab pictured here - is a love. He enjoys walks, meals, his bed, and his canine brother Koa. He definitely knows his commands and what it means when people put their shoes on. I felt so badly when he chose to sleep downstairs by himself on the couch the first night. But Alice assured me he'd come up and join us and guess what? Yep! Night #2 found him in his upstairs bed by my side.
Paco is getting stronger walking on leash and going upstairs. He gets up and down with more ease as well. We're working on appropriate greetings of guests and taking treats properly. He's smart, willing to please, and very respectful of us and our dog.
Thank you, Lily's Legacy, for saving this sweet boy's life and letting us be his new parents. - Kimo and Janice

Moira
Moira went home with her best friend Stella to Yuba City. Read their story here (and have your tissue ready): https://www.lilyslegacy.org/fospicedogs.html
Luke
A young couple, Yoshi and Noella, came to meet Luke and fell in love. They both grew up with dogs but have never had a dog of their own, it was time. Luke is a perfect “first” dog for them and they are the perfect forever family for him. Yoshi works from home and Noella works at a doggie daycare and can take Luke to work with her sometimes.
We’ll never know how or why Luke ended up abandoned on the steps of a pet boutique, but we do know that now he’s landed where he was meant to be, his forever home.

Daisy
Daisy sure wasn't with us for very long before finding her new forever home. Miss Daisy’s new mom, Jaime will come from So Cal and bring her home to Temecula.
Jaime is a semi-retired court reporter whose mission in life is to adopt senior Goldens and give them the best life possible till the end of their days. Wow! After losing her beloved Golden a couple of months ago, Jaime is again ready to open her heart and home to Miss Daisy. The fact that she is 15 ½ years old doesn’t faze Jaime in the least. She is so excited to welcome Daisy home.

Max
Mary Lisa spotted Max on our website and had to meet him. She lost her beloved Lab six months ago and had been looking for "a couch potato" Lab! As we here at Lily's all know, couch potato is Max's middle name.
Mary Lisa lives on a horse ranch on the outskirts of Petaluma. She has a small dog. Her parents also live on the property and have 2 dogs. So Max will have a great extended family around him.
We will miss the big marshmallow, he was a couch cuddler favorite.

Rusty
It took a little time to find the best forever home for Rusty. Now it's been found!
Sheila first spotted Rusty on Facebook. He bore a striking resemblance to her beloved dog Rusty who passed in June so Sheila and her family came to meet Rusty in person. All went well, Rusty easily warmed up to everyone. He was a little shy at first, but perked right up when they headed out the door to the car. We think Rusty knew these nice people were his new forever family.
Rusty has hit the jackpot. Sheila works from home some days and will bring Rusty to work with her the other days. We're looking forward to updates soon.
Update from Sheila: "Rusty is settling in pretty well. He is my shadow....So sweet! ... He's my new office assistant and my office mate loves him."

Miles
Hurrah, Miles has been ADOPTED too! Bette came all the way from Guerneville to meet him. Miles was very attentive to her, they both liked each other. Bette lost her beloved German Shepherd mix 6 months ago. She is now ready to once again open her heart and home to a new dog. That lucky dog is Miles! Bette is a semi-retired realtor, is dog savvy and comes highly recommended by everyone we spoke with. |

Phil (now Izzy)
Adopted by Audrey, a former Lily’s cuddler. She is retired, loves dogs, does occasional dog sitting in her home and has a lot of dog experience. Audrey’s son and his two children stopped by our table at Pet Food Express here in Petaluma. Phil was very responsive to them and they immediately thought Phil would be the perfect dog for Grandma Audrey. Later in the day Audrey came to to meet him. Audrey fell for him and the adoption wheels were set in motion.
Update from Audrey: "Phil’s new name is Izzy, he’s settling in beautifully. He loves his yard and the kids are just as thrilled as I am. We love him so much!"

Martha Marie with her Wubby - my new home office assistant.
Martha
Martha Marie (we added her middle name 😊) continues to settle in and we are over the moon for her! She is so much more comfortable with the horses and seems to have come to an “agreement” with the neighbor donkeys.
She has taken to sleeping at night on the couch or chair in the living room. She slept in the bedroom one night and we are hoping she gets more comfortable with that.
She looooves being outside!! We’ve had such nice weather so she’s been soaking up the sun! She has discovered the toy baskets and a few favorites - a squeaky Rudolph and Mr. Moose as well as her cuddle Wubby ❤️.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of sweet Martha Marie and making it possible for us to bring her into our family. We all love her so much and are so very happy she has come home to us.
Love and hugs,
Kris, Bruce and our furry family”

Abby
Kathy, Malcomb and Miss Lillie (in her special wagon and another Lily's pup previously adopted by Kathy) came to bring her home. Now Abby is in a perfect home to begin the next phase of her sweet life. She will be lovingly cared for for the rest of her life.
We all miss sweet Abby, she was everyone's favorite LOVEBUG since the day she arrived.

Bella
In January 2018 Beth Ann and Chris adopted Bear (re-named Gordy). Sadly, Gordy recently crossed Rainbow Bridge. They decided to adopt again. As soon as they walked in the barn, charming Miss Bella waltzed right up to them and quickly won them over. Before we knew it the decision was made, Bella was adopted
"We've been fortunate to have Bella at our home for almost a week now. She is still quite reserved, but is starting to show signs of her sweet personality and we've had some play time! She happily follows us where ever we go! We are positive that with a little more time her shell will be removed and we will all become a happy and loving family.
Thank you Lily's, again, for honoring us with such a beautiful animal. We will treat her with nothing but respect and love for the rest of her days. She deserves it. We're glad our family is once again complete after the loss of our sweet Pie guy and I'm sure she's happy to have a family of her own again! We're so in love!"

Rumor, now Shayla
Rumour's new mom, Jodi is a previous adopter of Zori who recently passed. Jodi missed having a dog in her life and was ready to open her heart and home again to another senior dog.
She drove down from Oregon and spent time with several of our pups. By the end of the day, she knew Rumour was her girl.
"Many years ago I fell in love with a Dragon in a fantasy novel," Jodi tells us. "She was a gentle giant that befriended a young girl. I always knew that someday a dog would come into my life and share her name...Rumour's new name is Shayla, a true gentle giant. She is doing so well, a joy!"

Lili
Lili’s new mom Chris is over the moon about adopting her. She is retired, loves Shepherds and has been involved in rescue for many years.
Chris is a recent widow and summed it up in her own words, “Lili will be my life now!” And what a happy life they’re going to have together! These two are going to make a dynamic duo!
We are so very grateful to Allan for providing Lili with a loving foster home the past 6 months.

Ernie
Well, we can scratch one more doggie off the foster-to-adopt list! Ernie has been adopted. Foster mom Diane signed the final adoption papers making Ernie an official member of her family. Little Kitty has acquiesced ½ her beam of sunshine to share with her new brother. Happy tails!

Rex
Rex is an 8 – 10 year old Yellow Lab mix from the Modesto Shelter. He was confiscated from a terrible home due to neglect. At the shelter the volunteers who spent time with Rex agreed he is an absolute sweetheart, even though he’s been through so much. They took a special interest in him and worked hard to help find him a safe haven. That haven was Lily's until he found a new home full of happiness and hope.
Within days of his arrival, he found just that with Lisa and Aaron, a wonderful couple from Benicia. They have two little rescue dogs and Aaron is home most of the time. Rex will truly experience what 'home' is meant to be.

Diesel (now Lolo)
Anastasia first spotted Diesel on Facebook and fell in love. She had lost her beloved Shepherd several months ago and was looking for a new companion. She plans to have Diesel come with her to her job sites and he gets to live with her in beautiful Guerneville, CA. Sounds like a perfect match for Diesel, he’s scored big time!
Update from Anastasia: "Lolo (short for Angelo) is doing so well...I think how was I ever without him? We have totally bonded. He’s the last one out of bed...best kept secret about senior dogs. Loves riding in the truck and makes friends with humans everywhere he goes. ... Life is good now with Lolo and I am forever grateful to Lily’s for taking such good care of him."

Rufus and Sonny
It’s official, bonded pair Rufus & Sunny get to stay together. Jude, a previous adopter, took the twins home last weekend for a “foster-to-adopt” trial run. A couple days later, the twins had a successful meet and greet with Jude's tenant's little dog that lives nearby. That sealed the deal, the twins are staying!
Update:
"The twins are such a delight and wonderful addition. I love coming home and seeing them on the couch like the photo. Thank you!"

Red
As we predicted, Red wasn't with us for long, just 8 days to be exact. Saturday Jim, Christine and dog-brother Buster came all the way from Reno to take Red home. They spotted Red the first day he was posted online. They got their adoption application in right away, home visit was done (4 paws up), they were good to go! Jim and Christine are both retired, love the Aussie breed and have had four over the years. Red's a lucky boy!
Update:
"Red 'n Buster are doing great....Red LOVES the big yard and he has inspected and marked all of it. We think he will have a great life here! And he deserves it."

Sasha
Sasha's foster mom Donna M. has happily joined the Foster Failure Club. They had strongly bonded over the two weeks Donna was fostering Sasha. It became crystal clear that there was no way she was going to give her up. Sasha is one happy girl, just look at that smile. She knew Donna was her new mom the first day they met!

Joan is retired and just loves seniors. She wants to give Bailey the best life possible till the end of her days. We sure will miss this sweet girl but we're so grateful to Joan for opening her heart and home to her.

Congratulations and thank you to Jennifer & her husband for coming all the way from Auburn, CA to adopt this sweet girl. We always say a dog picks their owner at Lily's. When Emma saw her new family she jumped into their arms. TRUTH!

Her new mom, Lisa had been looking for a companion for her senior dog and fell in love with Shelby's picture. Sadly, Lisa's dog recently took a turn for the worst and passed away. She and her husband will now open their hearts and home to Shelby - and what an ideal home it will be! Lisa is a vet tech who works part-time and her husband is retired.

Miss Myra has been ADOPTED! Shandi and her two boys came with their yellow Lab, Rex to meet Myra. Everything went well and adoption wheels were set in motion. It's a great situation for Myra. Both mother-in-laws live on the property so there will always be someone there. Myra and Rex get along just fine. It was wonderful to see the two dogs sharing toys and playing together. |

Bailey (now Rosie)
Miss Bailey has been ADOPTED! David and Jackie came with their 12 year old yellow Lab and family cat to meet Bailey. No surprise, everyone got along great.
David is retired and Jackie works part time so someone will always be home. Better yet, the whole gang is going soon on an extended road trip to Michigan in a fabulous motor-home.
It was bittersweet saying goodbye to Bailey but we are so happy she’s finally found the perfect, forever family she deserves.
Update…..Bailey is settling in nicely, we renamed her Rosie. She’s currently sleeping on my feet under the shade of our outdoor umbrella. She has an aversion to hardwood floors so we placed several random carpet tiles so she can build her confidence. So far so good!!!

Fargo has been ADOPTED! Mary and her teenage son and daughter came all the way from San Jose to meet Fargo. Right from the start, he responded warmly to them. It was like he knew this was his new family that had come to take him home. He posed for the happy adoption picture and then off he went to his forever home.
First reports, Fargo has settled in beautifully. He’s getting along fine with the other little dog and cat. They’re one big happy family! Yeah!

Cody
Jim and Dottie came all the way from Ojai to meet him for the first time. When they walked in the barn Cody came right up and greeted them enthusiastically. They were pleasantly surprised with his responsiveness and energetic personality, something you can’t see online. Cody is a lucky boy; Jim and Dottie will provide him with a wonderful life. They are retired and are Shepherd lovers going way back.
Saying good bye to this special dog was certainly bitter sweet, he stole so many hearts the three months he was with us. We’re over the moon that he’s finally found the forever home he deserves. He will be missed by all!

Maddie
Her new mom, Sophie, lives on a family ranch in the hills near Lodi. She recently lost her beloved dog and has been miserable. Her son and daughter-in-law (who also live on the ranch) have been looking for a new dog for mom. A friend told them about Lily’s Legacy and Maddie. When they all met, Maddie liked them right away - it was a perfect match. Sophie found her new dog and Maddie found her forever home! Hurrah!

Gunner (now Tucker)
Gunner was adopted by Erica, the daughter of one of our volunteers here at the sanctuary. Gunner spent the weekend with Erica in Sacramento as a trial run. The weekend couldn’t have gone more smoothly, Gunner was perfect in every way. They had a great time taking long walks along the America River and hanging out together in Erica’s apartment. By the end of the weekend, there was no doubt, Gunner (now Tucker) was her boy!

Jasper
Jasper has been adopted by previous Lily’s adopters, Andrew and Peg. They came to meet him and spent a lot of time getting to know him. Evidently, it was one big Love Fest! They went home to think about it and the very next morning we got the good news.
Lucky Jasper will be living in a beautiful country home on the outskirts of Petaluma. Peg is a grower of Chinese medicinal herbs and works from home. Andrew is a fine woodworker and can take Jasper with him to work at the wood shop. We are so happy for sweet Jasper.

Lady Bug
Our cute, cute Ladybug has been ADOPTED! Her new mom and dad, Wanda and Wayne, came to meet her and brought along their 12 year- old yellow lab – Ladybug’s new brother. It was love at first sight for everyone. Ladybug’s new mom works 4 days a week and dad is retired so she will have someone home with her almost all the time. Happy days ahead for our sweet girl!
Update: Our Ladybug is absolutely wonderful. She has already melted our hearts. She is truly the sweetest girl. I am a little sad though because her hips are so bad. But we love her dearly. Thank you for all of your help.

Dahlia
Dahlia has found her forever home! She has been adopted by Lily’s volunteer Larry and his wife Paula. They have a soft spot for Mastiffs and fell in love with Dahlia’s pictures. Who can blame them? All is well in Dahlia’s new world. She’s doing great and has settled right in with her 3 canine siblings. Life is good for this sweet girl! |

Sarah
Lucky Sarah was adopted by Pris, a Lily’s Board Member and multiple time adopter going back to 2011! She wasn’t looking for a dog but since she was at the Sanctuary, she decided to just “take a peek” in the barn. Well, Sarah came right up to her and that was it…they chose each other!

Mocha
When Dandi and Doug came to meet Mocha, Dandi sat down on a dog bed in the bunkhouse while we let Mocha out of her kennel. Immediately, Mocha went and plopped down right in Dandi's lap. When she rolled over to let Dandi rub her belly, both Dandi and Doug said "this is our dog". They packed Mocha up and brought her home. There she was introduced to her new family that includes 3 Labs, 1 Dachshund, 1 Terrier, multiple cats, chickens and other farm animals. Right from the start Mocha assimilated into the family as if she had been there her whole life.
Update:
"She’s having a good time here. She loves the feeding routine for the horses, goat and donkey. She is so much fun. She has found every toy on the property. She’s met all the cats (6) and she didn’t bat an eye. She’s a perfect fit."

Foxy
We had another great day at Lily's. Miss Foxy was ADOPTED by the previous adopter of Toby. Christine took great care of him through heart worm treatment and then Cushing’s disease. Toby passed last Fall. Now Christine is ready once again to open her heart to another senior pup. She had been “following” Foxy for some time and made the decision to adopt her. Christine took her home to start their new life together. This is an ideal situation for Foxy with Christine being home with her most of the time. We’ll certainly miss having Foxy with us.

Shasta
Shasta, an 8 year-old yellow Lab from a Butte County shelter, has either larynx or thyroid cancer. The cancer has not metastasized but the tumor is inoperable and cannot be removed. Depending on how fast the tumor is growing, Shasta is estimated to have 6 months to a year. That's the sad news but here's the good news: When her new mom Kathy came to meet her, her intention was to bring Shasta home to fospice. Well, once Kathy laid eyes on Shasta, she quickly changed her mind and ADOPTED her. (Kathy previously adopted another Lily's pup, Miss Lilly, in April of last year. Lilly was seriously over weight and under Kathy’s loving care she slimmed down to a healthy 30 pounds. She became known as our Biggest Loser.) Kathy will take equally good care of Shasta, providing her will lots and lots of love. Since going home, she’s become quite the couch potato and has fit right in with her 'little' sister Lilly. |

Shadow
Warren, a gentleman from San Anselmo, had been looking for a companion dog for some time. He visited Lily’s several times, but it wasn’t till he met Shadow that he knew he had finally found his dog. Warren is retired and Shadow will be his constant companion.

Oso
Jennifer and her daughter Tessa came to meet Oso and introduce him to their 9 year-old Shepherd mix Tali. The meet and greet went very well, it was a good match. It was Oh-So bittersweet to say farewell to this special Shepherd, we’ll all miss him.
