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.
Connor
This handsome fellow is a 9 year old male Pointer from the Tulare Animal Shelter. He was a stray. The shelter described him as a sweet old guy, dog friendly and has some skin issues from a flea allergy. Meds will easily take care of that. Connor does indeed like other dogs and is friendly with everyone. He loves to go for walks and spend time in our dog park and corral. Connor is a true Pointer, always has his nose up sniffing the air, looking for birds. Back in his kennel, he settles down quickly and enjoys napping on his comfy bed. |

Molly
Molly is a 10 year old Basset Hound from the Lake County Shelter. When Molly’s owner died she was surrendered by his wife who was moving to an apartment where dogs were not allowed. She’s a sturdy, active hound who weighs in at 85 pounds. She’s very sweet, good with other dogs and not interested in cats (always a plus!). She’s quite a character, playful, easy going and just an all around fun dog. She’ll chase a ball and actually bring it back to you. You do, however, have to trade her with another ball. She even plays ball by herself, tossing it in the air. It’s amazing how fast Molly can move with her short little legs. She even manages to get her big, long body up on the couch with a little hop. Good golly Miss Molly, she's such a delight! Molly is Lily's first ever Basset Hound, a short-legged scent hound that was originally bred for the purpose of hunting hare! |

Huxley
Huxley is a 13/14 year old Springer Spaniel from San Francisco Animal Care & Control. He was owner surrendered for unknown reasons. At the shelter Huxley was neutered and had a full grooming, his coat is velvety soft. Huxley arrived Saturday understandably discombobulated. He's slowly settling in a bit more each day. Huxley is a sweet ole guy, friendly and needy. Huxley seeks attention (in a nice way) from everyone he meets. He deserves and needs all the TLC we can give him to help him adapt to his new world. |

Clover
Clover is a stray from the Central Valley. She is 7 or 8, in great health and a sweet girl. She craves human attention and is cuddly and adorable. Clover is very active and would make a great hiking buddy. She is housebroken and loves her dog door here at LIlys. She seems to be dog selective so she will do best as an only dog. She will also be happy cuddles you with you on the couch. |

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!

Hank and Snoopy, bonded brothers - in foster-to-adopt
Hank & Snoopy recently went home with Dandi & Doug as Foster-to-Adopts. Dandi & Doug previously adopted Lily's pup, Mocha, in March 2019. Sadly, Mocha has since crossed Rainbow Bridge. Hank & Snoopy's foster home is on a large country property with lots of animals. The family includes 3 dogs, multiple cats, chickens, other farm animals and even young grandkids. It sure looks like the boys have landed in just the right place, an environment much like the ranch they grew up on. So far so good, they are fitting right in with the whole family. Most importantly, they are happier and more physically active. This Just in.... "My granddaughter drew Snoopy on her ipad. So far the dogs and kids are getting along great." |

COURTESY POST - HENNA
Henna is a mature German Shepherd who has spent most of her life living outdoors. Because of this she learned to defend her property from other dogs, which got her in a bit of trouble! But she is ready now for a cush, indoor retirement home where she will no longer have to be "on guard".
Henna is very affectionate with people and will likely bond very quickly with her new family. She was great for a bath and grooming and let us handle her all over, and she walked nicely on leash. She has exhibited some anxiety in the kennels, so she might need a bit of time and patience and family who is around a lot, but we think she will relax much better in a home environment.
We introduced Henna to a young, confident male dog and she was pretty tolerant of his pushy greeting style. She would likely be ok with select canine pals but introductions should be done carefully because of her history.
Henna is looking to spend her golden years with someone who is ready to offer her a soft bed, lots of treats and affection, and maybe even take the time to train her a bit more. Henna is a smart girl and would likely enjoy a class like Nosework immensely. She deserves the good life!
SHE IS AT THE MARIN HUMANE SOCIETY. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT LILY'S. CLICK THIS LINK TO THEIR WEBSITE.
