ALL OUR DOGS ARE PETS FOR PATRIOTS ELIGIBLE!
We're a shelter partner with Pets for Patriots.
If you're a veteran or active military please check them out. The charity's goal is to give the most overlooked pets a second chance at life through adoption. We've partnered with them because we have the same goal. Every one of our senior dogs is an eligible Pets for Patriots dog. Join Pets for Patriots - it's free - and you'll also receive discounted pet care at 2 of their veterinary partners: The Fairfax Veterinary Clinic and Petaluma's Washington Square Veterinary Clinic. |
We have so many wonderful companions that are waiting for you and the furever homes. Please be sure to "meet" them all here, then call us (707-787-7010) to meet them in person.

Jenks
Jenks arrived at Lily's by airplane! (Yes, you read correctly). He came from a Santa Barbara shelter straight into the Petaluma Airport. He was accompanied by Lily’s longtime supporters (friends) who made the flight possible, and their own pups . All the dogs apparently enjoyed the plane ride. Noteworthy: Jenks bares the distinction of being our first ever pup to “arrive in style!” Jenks is 8 or 9 and is a healthy boy. The short time Jenks has been with us, he’s charmed his way into our hearts. He’s a very sweet dog with an engaging, curious personality. He even knows some “tricks” and will shake with both paws. Jenks is always on the move, busily checking everything out. He’s also quite spry and likes to jump up on the window sills to see what’s happening outside. Jenks walks well on leash and gets along with everyone (two-legged & four-legged). He’s just an all-around great dog and handsome to boot! It’s doubtful Jenks will be with us for very long. |
Oso
Oso, an owner surrender Newfie/Lab mix from Central California SPCA. He had been at the shelter for 2 weeks and was scheduled to be euthanized because he had some health issues. We weren’t going to let that happen and stepped up to take him. He is a dream pup. Sweet and cuddly and friendly to everyone he meets - 2 and 4 legged alike. Oso, our OH-SO sweet Lab/Newfie mix has quickly become our 80 lbs. resident love muffin! He gives kisses to everyone he meets and loves to be groomed. Oso is still a bit fearful of the outside world but he’s made remarkable progress the short time he’s been with us. He can now walk all the way around the driveway, albeit a bit zig-zaggie. We still need to coax him to venture out of his kennel for “barn time”. He’s starting to figure out there’s a whole new world out there he’s never known before, and it’s all good! |

Faith
Faith is a 9-year-old Shepherd mix from Fresno Humane. Her intake exam went well, bloodwork was good, she needs a dental. She has bad skin and hair loss caused by flea allergy dermatitis and poor nutrition. Cephalexin, an antibiotic, flea meds, twice weekly medicated baths and good nutrition should fix her right up. Faith is also quite skinny, she needs to put on a good 5 – 10 pounds. Luckily, she has an excellent appetite and is wolfing down 3 squares a day with enthusiasm. Faith is such a love, gentle and sweet. She has a surprisingly energetic side as well. It's amusing to see her frisky, deer-like trot when playing fetch in the barn. No doubt, once Faith puts on some weight and her skin condition clears up, she will be even more beautiful than she already is and ready for a forever home. We’re still seeking a perfect home for sweet Faith and are a little surprised there hasn’t been more interest in her. She's a gorgeous, petite Shepherd with soulful eyes and a loving heart. She will no doubt be a loyal companion for some lucky someone, that someone just hasn’t found her yet. Please spread the word, help Faith find her forever home soon. |
Gracie
Our new girl is a 13 year old Aussie mix. Sadly, she was surrendered by her owner due to life changes in her family. She has degenerative arthritis in her shoulder. Rimadyl twice a day is helping manage that. Gracie is a sweet girl + she is receiving lots of extra TLC + love from all of us - belly rubs are her favorite. Gracie walks nicely on leash until she’s D-O-N-E, then she lets you know she wants to head home. It’s not hard to love Gracie... just look at those eyes! She is a perfect companion dog for someone with a laid back lifestyle and a quiet home. |

Gemma - adoption pending
Gemma is an 11 year old Chocolate Lab from Marin Humane where they found her as a stray. Super, Super sweet. Gets around pretty well considering she needs to lose 40 lbs. Otherwise great check up at vet. She's ready to go to her new home. |

Sophie
Sophie is a Golden Retriever stray. We got a call from a Good Samaritan about an abandoned senior Golden he had found lying under a tree with a note attached to her collar. She was a friendly dog and had a large infected growth on her backside. Of course, we agreed to take Sophie. She is a sweet dog who clearly needed medical attention. She appears to be healthy; her bloodwork was all good.

Buddy
Buddy is a medium sized, Lab mix from the Yuba County Shelter. He was picked up as a stray and had been at the shelter for about a month. He was loved by everyone and got to hang out in the office during the day. Now he's coming to Lily's. We'll post more about him soon.

Moonshine - in foster-to-adopt
Moonshine is a 12 year old hound from the Tracy Shelter. At intake they discovered he has an undescended testicle that is enlarged.
The good news is the pathology report shows an overall good outlook. The whole tumor was removed from his testicle, only one slightly enlarged lymph node was found and there is a 10% chance the cancer will reoccur. He will have a re-check ultrasound in April/May.
Now for even better news….previous adopter, Judy, who has a soft spot for hounds, came to meet Moonshine. She had lost her beloved hound Joey (fka Hudson, adopted January 2020) several months ago. Moonshine and Judy hit if off right away. He was very attentive to her and the treats she had in a pouch! We told Judy about his health, house training issues and his vocalizing. She was unfazed, actually said she liked a hound’s howl and missed hearing it! In the end Judy took Moonshine home as a Foster-To-Adopt. Paws crossed!

Coulson
Agent Coulson is a dapper fellow who, while pretty independent, likes to check in with his peops regularly. Coulson does communicate quite a lot using body language, soft woofs and an occasional growl if the situation warrants it. He’s a dog who does not want to say hello to every dog or every person on the street. Of course there are very few of us who want to greet *everyone* we see – at the very least it’s too time-consuming. Unfamiliar folks make Coulson a little nervous and he communicates this quite well if you are paying attention. No problems. A dream to walk with, he’s a fluffy guy who likes who he likes and loves the treats they carry. Coulson would prefer not to share his space with very young children. If you are interested in learning more about this cool dude, please complete the online interest form. Learn more and apply to adopt here.

Greta
She’s a beautiful dog with a beautiful personality and she could be your very own canine catch! Greta will tug at your heartstrings (fishing line?) and any other rope -like item you offer. Tug and Fetch are two of her most favorite games. She is happy to learn new tricks and has recently begun agility activities. Greta is always eager to get outside and see what the world has to offer. Seeing other dogs while out on those adventures can cause her some consternation. She is becoming an expert at checking in with her person so she’s not practicing being frustrated. If you are interested in learning more about Greta, please fill out the pre-adoption interest form. Learn more and apply to adopt here.

COURTESY POST - TOM
Tom is a handsome boy with a winning smile from Lake County Animal Care and Control. He was underweight and had a number of resolvable health issues which have all been taken care of. After a couple of months of good food, rest and health care he's a healthy weight and his coat is shiny. His rescuer needs to surrender him because the female in his pack is very jealous and attacks him. Tom is crate trained and well behaved on a leash. He likes people and is friendly and sweet with everyone he meets. He's a great companion. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO MEET TOM, PLEASE EMAIL ELIZABETH - etsailer@sbcglobal.net.

COURTESY POST - ATHENA
Single Collie/Lab mix seeks companionship. I’m a very good looking 11 year-old girl who loves to play. I love short evening walks and nice rides in the car. I’m mild mannered and do well in public places. Ideal for a retiree or someone working from home, as I’ve been going to the office with my foster mom. I also do well with other dogs. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO MEET ATHENA, PLEASE EMAIL MARCELINA - linablea@gmail.com. DO NOT CONTACT LILY'S PLEASE. |
