Adoptable Dogs

Max | Border Collie/Pyrenees | 7-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 77 lbs.
Max came to us after his family moved and could no longer care for him. He had been with them since a puppy and grew up alongside kids and another dog and did well with both. Max even reportedly loves cats, enthusiastically trying to play with those that are willing! That being said, Max is part Pyrenees and can be protective of his family in the home with dogs he has never met, so proper introductions will always be important. Max is a youthful senior who is always smiling. While he's always up for an adventure, Max also knows the luxuries of long naps and settles inside, happily napping next to you. He loves stuffies and in addition to his basic commands knows kisses, go to bed and potty. Max is a sweet guy who will do well in almost any family, but would really love the company of another furry friend. He has made fast friends with a few dogs here at Lily's and watching the joy he shares with them brings a smile to everyone's face. |

Harli | Mix | 9-Years-Old | Spayed Female | Approx. 70 lbs., should be closer to 60 lbs.
Bear | Border Collie Mix | 8-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 61 lbs. This sweet bonded pair ended up at the Kern County Shelter after their human passed away. They had been with her since they were young and were very well-loved family members. Sadly, they started shutting down at the shelter, but luckily a kind foster stepped up and cared for them for several months before having to go oversees to care for family. That’s when Harli & Bear made their journey to Lily’s, first spending time with a temporary foster and now with a long-term foster until they find their forever home (hopefully soon!). With all the changes in their life, understandably, Harli & Bear take some time to warm up to new people. Once they do, they spend most of their day lounging, wanting to be near their humans. Bear loves toys and won’t go anywhere without his stuffy. He is curious and a bit more reserved than Harli. But once settled, he sure loves his belly rubs! While she can be shy at first, Harli is a couch potato and a “go with the flow” kind of gal, just happy to be a part of the crowd. Both are learning confidence in their foster home, slowly learning to greet new people and open up. They both get along well with other dogs. In one of their foster homes, they had 5 resident doggy siblings and did well but would prefer a smaller pack at home with maybe one other dog so they can get all the attention they deserve. The pair have been working to befriend the resident cat, waiting and hoping at the top of the stairs that the cat will appear and want to play. While the resident cat isn’t quite as into his new friends, they are beginning to slowly win him over with time and persistence! Despite all they’ve been through, these two remain sweet and gentle dogs, looking for their new furever home to call their own. They have received rave reviews from their fosters on how easy and lovable they remain. Here’s what one of their fosters had to say: "These two are the most adorable bonded pair I have ever seen. Harli is sweet and shy. She is often afraid to go outside to greet my other dogs, so Bear will be by her side and he is her best bud and will always be with her. I have seen him give her kisses on the face to reassure her. They are an easy pair. They want mostly to be with their person and to have their bellies rubbed or their back scratched. They are not aggressive. They eat their food together peacefully and do not guard their food or toys. Wherever they go, their new guardian would be so incredibly lucky to have them. I have only fostered them for six days and already love them so much. They're an easy loving pair. Please consider adopting them. You will love them! |

Enzo | Border Collie Mix | 9-Years-Old | Approx. 50 lbs.
Before Lily's Legacy swooped him up, Enzo was found running with a pack of dogs in Stanislaus County. He was most likely hit by a car that dislocated his hip. Our good friends at Fairfax Vet did a stellar job getting it set back into place. Despite some restrictions with rough play, Enzo is always up for fun -- balls, toys, jumping, climbing, hiking, fetch, obedience, you name it. Enzo is true to his breed and is one smart dog, so no couch potatoes please. But he does also really love to relax next to his people and soak up pets, brushing, love and affection. Enzo has also made some really nice friendships with dogs here at the sanctuary and would probably enjoy being part of a well matched pack. So, if you are an active person looking for a ride or die for yourself of a resident dog or tow, Enzo just might be your good boy! |

Duke | German Shepherd | 4-Years-Old | Male | Approx. 75 lbs.
Handsome Duke was found as a stray in Stanislaus County with a prong collar embedded into his neck. He was understandably nervous with handling and with these two strikes against him he was placed on the euthanasia list. As a rescue we were allowed to take him on and we are so glad we did. Given his condition both physically and mentally due to neglect, he was initially thought to be a senior, but as Duke has gotten comfortable we are fairly certain that isn't the case. We think Duke is closer to 4 years old. He has become quite the love while he has been at Lily’s Legacy. His neck has healed nicely, and he is learning to trust in leaps and bounds. Duke seems to really enjoy the company of people and is very eager to please. He is also calm around other dogs once they meet, but he can be reactive when he sees them on leash. We know Duke just wants to play so bad, but he will need proper introduction with other dogs. Duke is appropriate with small dogs and the previous shelter reported he is also good with cats. Duke will need a home that will meet his needs both mental and physical. Walks, hikes and some fun puzzle toys will go a long way with Duke. He is highly food motivated and is so ready to have someone work with him on obedience. We are enjoying watching Duke begin to shine like the diamond he truly is. He is going to make someone a wonderful and loyal companion. |

Martha | Rottie Mix | 7-Years-Old | Spayed Female | Approx. 80 lbs.
Martha came to Lily’s as a stray from Contra Costa shelter. We don’t know much about her past, but based on how sweet and lovable this girl is, we have a suspicion she’s known love somewhere. It’s also clear that Martha has had several litters of puppies, some very recently. She has since been spayed and we’ve promised her that in this next chapter, she will be spoiled as she deserves. Martha is a very sweet girl who loves meeting new people and gets along well with other dogs who respect her boundaries. The more we get to know her, the more this social butterfly shows her playful and spunky personality! |

Zack | Lab Mix | 11-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 50 lbs.
This social guy came to us as an owner surrender from Contra Costa shelter. Zack has proven to be an amenable guy who goes with the flow, just happy to be an attendee at the party! Whether the party is getting cuddles on the couch, going on adventure sniffari’s or accompanying you on your daily errands, Zack is the best sidekick you could ask for! Zack gets along well with almost every human and dog he meets, taking feedback well from other dogs when appropriate and smiling his way through the rest of the moments. Zack will make a wonderful, loyal companion and is ready to find his forever pack! |

Bella | Lab/Rottie Mix | 10-Years-Old | Spayed Female | Approx. 90 lbs.
Bella came to us as an owner surrender after changes in her humans’ life. She had been with her family since a puppy and was a well-loved family member and it shows. Bella loves to take leisurely naps and be close to her people. She is a gentle, affectionate girl and is wonderful with children and other dogs. Bella is a chill senior gal, but still likes to chase the ball on occasion and loves her daily sniffaris. This love bug is looking for the loving family bond she once knew, where she return will love in spades. |

Koda | Mix | 7-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 50 lbs. IN FOSTER-TO-ADOPT
This spunky guy came to us from the Contra Costa shelter where he was a volunteer favorite. He’s been a charming resident, curiously meeting each new person and dog. We don’t know much about Koda’s past, but he certainly is a lover, politely greeting each new visitor with an enthusiasm and cuddles. Koda is an engaging, active senior who brings a calm, easy-going personality. He loves his daily walks and enjoys his time with doggie playgroups. Koda will make the perfect companion, whether it’s a hiking-buddy, car co-pilot or people-watching park company. Wherever this guy came from, he has clearly known a loving bond! |

Bubbles | Pittie Mix | 8-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 65 lbs. IN FOSTER-TO-ADOPT
This perfect gentleman came to us from Contra Costa Shelter and has been a delightful resident since he arrived. Bubbles brings an easygoing, calm nature that is infectious to pups and humans alike. Bubbles walks great on leash, knows some basic commands and is wonderful with other dogs, proving to be gentle, patient and socially appropriate with those he’s met. But most of all, Bubbles has a deep love for his humans! Bubbles fancies himself a lapdog and who are we to tell him otherwise? He isn’t overly pushy for affection, but he gladly accepts it and leans in and close for more once he feels comfortable. With his beguiling eyes and charming smile, this guys is sure to steal your heart. And his easygoing and loving nature will ensure he keeps it. This sweet guy will make one lucky human/s a loyal and steadfast companion! |

Lilly
7-8 yrs old, German Shepherd/Husky, 60 pounds Lilly is a sweet, affectionate girl who enjoys being with her people. She had a rough beginning as she was apparently abandoned in a field near Escalon CA. After weeks of foraging and doing her best to survive, she was secured by a kind rescue volunteer. She then spent about two weeks at Oakdale Animal Shelter. When she was pulled from the shelter by PAWS, she stayed for a short time with a nearby foster. Her comments: "I was surprised how quickly she integrated with my other dogs. I didn't have to keep her in the outdoor kennel as I had planned."She enjoys her daily walks, and has settled nicely into her foster home. Notes from her current foster: "Lilly is doing well. She's playing with toys more and I notice she's "smiling" and wagging her tail more and more. She's not as "Velcro." She's able to stay out on the deck/porch by herself now. I don't leave her for more than 15 minutes, mainly because it's been hot, but she likes laying in the sun more than the shade! I keep an eye on her through the windows and French doors that look out on the deck. She loves her morning and evening walks. She's a very lovable girl. Lilly continues to blossom." Please note that Lilly is not at Lily’s Legacy. Lilly is being fostered through PAWS network. Contact: [email protected] |

Buddy
9 yrs old, German Shepherd, 75 lbs This sweet boy was pulled from Contra Costa County Shelter and has proven to be a loyal, lovable and regal German Shepherd. Buddy is looking for a person, couple or family to spend the rest of his years with. Still active and engaged, he also wants to ease into retirement and increased lounging and cuddling time! Buddy is dog friendly but is likely best as an only dog in the home, or paired with an easy going female dog. A foster home would also be welcomed! Please note that Buddy is not at Lily’s Legacy. He is available for adoption through Milo Foundation at this link. |
