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 two of their veterinary partners: The Fairfax Veterinary Clinic and Petaluma's Washington Square Veterinary Clinic.

​W
e 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.

Harley

Harley is a special boy. He came to us from Fresno Humane after his person passed away. He has settled in nicely at Lily's. Harley is on the younger side. He is an energetic, fun dog. He is learning his basic commands like sit and walking politely on a leash. 
After a long romp in the dog park, he settles down nicely and enjoys couch time with a human.

We do think that Harley would prefer a home without cats. Harley has his doggie friends. He seems to prefer calmer, more mellow canines. 

If you're looking for a senior on the younger side, then Harley is your dog.

Chloe

Chloe is a 9 year old Lab mix. Sadly, she came to us because her family could no longer keep her. She has had her intake exam and is in overall good health, just needs to be spayed and have a dental.

When Chloe first arrived, she was scared and unsure. Well, that was then and this is now, Chloe has blossomed into a completely different dog. She’s friendly and engaging, loves to give kisses to everyone she meets, has lots of energy and is eager to please. Her beautiful shiny coat matches her sparkling personality. She’s a happy camper, looking for her next adventure.

Fuji

Fuji is a gentle, sweet German Shepherd. When Fuji got here, he was timid and shut down. We are now seeing a new version of Fuji. He is getting more comfortable walking on leash. He enjoys meeting new people and dogs. 

Fuji is definitely a gentle soul. He will run around the corral and sniff everything, but he will always come back and settle at your feet. Fuji would really like to be in a home with another dog. He really relaxes when he has a canine companion close by. We aren't sure about how he feels about cats.

Shaggy

​Shaggy is a 10 year old Shepherd mix who came to us from the Kern County Animal Shelter.  As soon as Shaggy arrived, he was given a much-needed bath. He was very cooperative and cleaned up nice!

Shaggy has easily settled in, he's enjoying lots of love and attention from everyone. He likes to lean into you, nudge his head into your hands seeking a good pat. Shaggy also can be quite energetic and playful. He'll run after a toy and sometimes bring it back to you. Despite the hair loss on his ears, backside and tail, Shaggy is beautiful inside and out, he's a real sweetheart.

Higgs - COMING SOON

Higgs is a 13 year old Chocolate Lab from San Francisco Animal Care and Control. Sadly, he was surrendered due to a life change in his family. Higgs is in good health and spirits, a sweet dog with a great temperament who passed his dog/dog testing nicely.

Stay tuned for more!

Juno
Yoshi and Juno, a bonded pair

Yoshi & Juno are a bonded pair of Lab mixes. They were abandoned at a boarding kennel in Walnut Creek 9 years ago and have been living there ever since. We were contacted by a rescue person who met them, by chance, when she was at the boarding kennel rescuing 2 younger dogs who had been abandoned there 3 years ago! Last week, Carole Mason assessed Yoshi & Juno and found them to be very happy, friendly pups who are bonded. We're hoping to adopt them out together.

Their intake exams went well, both are in good health. Yoshi, the Chocolate Lab mix, is overweight at 55 lbs., she needs to lose about 10 lbs. Juno, the Heinz 57 mix, is smaller at 52 lbs., she should be around 48.

When Yoshi & Juno landed at Lily’s, they were so happy to be here. They hopped out of Alice’s car, went straight into the corral and ran around sniffing and greeting everyone with kisses and full body tail wags. No adjustment period needed for these two girls, they’ve settled right into their new digs. Yoshi’s the more outgoing one, she loves attention. Juno is a sweetie too, a little lower key, but equally adorable.

Atticus - RIP
Indie - FOSTER TO ADOPT
​

Indie, an 8 year old German Shepherd, was surrendered to Lily’s due to a major life change. Indie’s owner was moving out of state and could not take his two Shepherds with him. The other Shepherd, Finn, was surrendered to the Mendocino County Animal Shelter.
 
Indie had her intake exam. She’s in good health, just needs a dental and to be spayed. Indie's foster mom, Alice brought Indie home as a Foster-to-Adopt. Alice and her brother Lee adopted another Lily's pup, Atticus in November 2020. Sadly, Atticus recently passed. Below is their heartwarming Goodbye and Hello announcement.

The good news is that we are springing Finn from the Ukiah Shelter and taking him straight to Fairfax Vet for intake. The even better news is Alice and Lee want to adopt Finn too! We are so thrilled and their former owner is greatly relieved that Indie and Finn will stay together.
 
Update: Indie is settling in beautifully. She explored the yard when we got home and got some exercise. Then we decided to take a short afternoon nap. She got on the thick blanket and never stirred until I got up. She is incredibly sweet and smart. Indie loves to go on walks; she knows exactly what a leash is, gets so excited she can’t contain herself. She loves to chase a ball, great coordination and super exercise for her! Adore this girl. Just adore her!

Goodbye and Hello 
It was with great sadness that on June 22 we said “Goodbye” to our beloved Atticus, a Belgian Groenendael Shepherd, 92 lbs and 12 years young. He came to us just 19 short months ago, but he made an imprint on our hearts that will be with us forever.

COURTESY POST - Buster Coffee Bean

Buster Coffee Bean is around 8 years old and still pretty active. He lives his daily walks and chewing on toys. Most of all he loves to snuggle and enjoy a good treat. He is friendly with dogs and may do okay with the right cat. Mr. Bean can sometimes get grouchy about his space or being woken up because of this he would not be ideal for young children. He has great house manners and is the best walker. You can find him at North Bay Animal Services. Check out the website or give them a call! Northbayanimalservices.org

COURTESY POST - Dina
Muttville Senior Dog Rescue


Dina, an 8 year old Cattle Dog mix, will have you rooting for the underdog! When she originally came to Muttville, it was discovered that she had to have both eyes removed because of severe Glaucoma. She is now pain free and much more comfortable.

Dina is an extraordinary dog that you just have to meet in person to understand just how wonderful and special she is. Her best feature by far is her nubbin tail that is always wagging and wiggling her whole bum along with it! She is wiggly, jiggly, happy, and a true delight! Talk about instant mood-booster, when you are with Dina, it is truly impossible to be upset about anything. Her positive vibe is contagious and will have you giggling within minutes. She is perfect!!

Dina’s adoption fee has been generously covered by The Farmer’s Dog!

See what her foster has to say and check out her video here: https://muttville.org/mutt/dina-8462 

Contact Jen (jen@muttville.org) to meet Dina. Please do NOT contact Lily's Legacy.

Tiko

PLEASE READ! Tiko's parents got a divorce. Dad took Tiko, who ended up living with a friend who doesn't want Tiko there. Tiko has nowhere else to go, so his dad leaves him in his SUV parked on the street. A good samaritan will temporarily foster Tiko and reached out to Lily's to help. She has a cat so it’s going to be extremely stressful for her (and Tiko) with a house full of kids and her own animals but she is still committed to helping Tiko.

Tiko (Chiquitico) is a ten year old neutered Pitbull. He is super friendly and loving, very smart and only wants to please. He is sensitive … if you are sad, he senses it and comes to console you by very gently placing his paw on you. He loves water and swimming in the lake. He will get the stick for hours if you let him. He doesn’t like fireworks or thunder and is not fond of cats but gets along with other dogs and loves children.  Great indoors, house trained and potty trained, good on leash, good with grooming. He weighs about 95 pounds.
