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! |

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 | Hound 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. She loves getting in sniffs and some good rolls in the Lily’s dog park, but most of all loves to cuddle up for a nice leisurely nap, ideally on the barn couch but she also LOVES her dog bed. This social butterfly has charmed us all with her sweet smile and spunky personalty! |
|
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 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. Often described around the sanctuary as “the perfect dog,” Bella is a gentle, affectionate soul and is wonderful with all other beings, including children and other dogs. She is a chill senior gal, but still likes to chase the ball on occasion and loves her daily sniffaris. Bella prefers to be close to her humans and a part of the action. This lovebug is looking for the loving family bond she once knew, where she return will love in spades. |
|
Squishy | Old English Sheepdog | 11-Years-Old | Spayed Female | Approx. 50 lbs.
Squishy came to us as an owner surrender where she had been with her family since a puppy. Squishy is a happy, social girl who has plenty of energy and adventure. Squishy loves to meet new people and pups alike! She has a playful, silly side that is quick to show itself, trying to wrangle a wrestling match with doggie friends or a laugh from a human, all with a big grin on her face. This love bug is understandably a little nervous as she gets acquainted to the changes in her life. While she remains a total sweetheart, she would love to find her forever family as soon as possible! |

Raisin | Pittie/Boxer Mix | 8-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 60 lbs.
This handsome guy came to us after 499 days in the Tracy Animal Shelter where he had become a volunteer favorite. Raisin is typically known for his spark and hope, but that was starting to fade after a year without a family. Volunteers reached out to Lily’s and we couldn’t help but fall in love with him. We are still getting to know Raisin as he settles into the sanctuary, but so far, he has been a delightful, quiet and loving resident. He has gotten along well with the other sanctuary residents, and is always up for a romp or wrestle in the corral. But don’t take our word for it! Here’s what his past short-term foster had to say: "Raisin is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He settled into our routine quickly and adapted to a consistent schedule with ease. He’s quiet and rarely barks, only using his voice to alert us if something seems unusual. He is incredibly food-motivated, which makes him eager to learn and responsive to commands. Raisin already knows several tricks, is very smart, and genuinely enjoys training sessions. He also loves head scratches and is happiest simply being near his people. Whether you’re relaxing at home or running errands, he’s happy to be by your side. Raisin is an also a great companion in the car, happily relaxing in the back seat or sticking his head out the window to enjoy the breeze. At home, he enjoys playing with his toys, walks nicely on a leash, and sleeps soundly in his crate through the night.We’ve absolutely fallen in love with Raisin. He has been gentle, affectionate, and friendly with every person he’s met.” |

Angus | Goldendoodle | 7-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 100 lbs., should be closer to 85 lbs.
Angus came to us as an owner surrender after his owner sadly fell ill. He had been with his human since a puppy and was loved dearly. Described as “more human than dog,” Angus bonds well and adores human affection. Angus is treat-motivated and loves snuggling up on a couch or bed for a snuggle.
Angus grew up with visiting human grandchildren and coexisted well with a cat sibling. He’s friendly with other dogs and is currently in foster with the owners of a doggie daycare and gets lots of playtime. Angus is a spunky, loving pup with lots of adventure left in the tank. He’s looking for his final forever home where he can have plenty of social time with his humans and maybe even a furry friend or two!

Daisy | English Black Lab | 11-Years-Old | Female | Approx. 100 lbs., should be closer to 70 lbs.
Daisy came to Lily’s as an owner surrender after life changes in her humans’ life. True to her breed, Daisy is a sweet girl who loves to retrieve any/all toys and balls and is looking for the other half of her Velcro. Daisy is a young senior, full of enthusiasm and excitement. She loves to play fetch and will do just about anything for a throw for the ball. After a few romps for the ball, she is ready to snuggle up next to you on the couch for a good nap. Daisy grew up as the only dog, but has lived on and off with other dogs and does well with doggie friends. Daisy is a loving girl, making everyone she meets her instant best friend. She will make a perfect companion for one lucky family/human. |

Olaf | Labrador Retriever | 7-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 75 lbs.
This sweet and silly gentleman was found as a stray and brought to the Humane Society of the North Bay where he became a staff and volunteer favorite before finding his way to us. Olaf is easy-going when meeting people and dogs, taking each with stride without being overly zealous nor too cautious. But don’t mistake his chill attitude —Olaf has a playful side! A little time playing ball or with toys and he sometimes bursts into full blown puppy zoomies. Olaf is hard of hearing, but he does not let it affect him negatively one bit. Instead, he appreciates those extra deep naps. Olaf has made it clear that he much prefers the company of someone over being alone and would appreciate a home where he can be with his humans as much as possible and maybe even have a doggie sibling (or two!). This lovable boy has so much love to give and would be an easy addition to one lucky family. |

MBONDED PAIR:
Maggie | Mix | 10-Years-Old | Female | Approx. 50 lbs. - left in photo Lucy | Mix | 8-Years-Old | Female | Approx. 50 lbs. - right in photo This sweet mother (Maggie) / daughter (Lucy) came to us as a bonded pair. The story goes they spent their life unhoused with their human, with an on-the-go lifestyle. When she could no longer care for them, a kind-hearted woman took them in. When it didn’t work with her, due to no fault of their own, she found them a place at to Lily’s. While we don’t know much about their past, we imagine they are used to their world changing around them, but the loss of their person has been a big one. Maggie is the worrier for the two, uncertain of what’s ahead. Maggie responds well to calm and consistent reassurance that she and her baby are safe. But it doesn’t take long for her to accept affection. She’s a sweet girl who wants to let her guard down and be the full-time cuddle bug she is at heart. Lucy follows her mom’s lead and is on the quieter/more timid side. But don’t let her fool you, while she won’t ask for pets, she will gladly lean in when they’re offered. Her loving heart is just below her shy exterior. While the pair is still getting settled into sanctuary life, they are beginning to open up more each day, and have even let us see their silly side, wrestling and running in the Lily’s dog park. They have gotten along well with all critters so far, thy even reportedly lived temporarily with another dog and cat and did well with both. We have no doubt these two will only continue to bloom and we can’t wait to see it. |

Drake | Husky/Lab | 9-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 100 lbs., should be closer to 70 lbs.
Drake came to us as an owner surrender after his family moved and couldn’t take him. Drake lived alongside a 3-year-old grandson and resident cat in his previous home and got along well with everyone. Drake is a sweet, easy going guy (as long as you’re nearby). With the exception of chasing a lizard if given the chance, Drake is a chill dude who goes with the flow, even if his fellow dogs are reacting around him. He happily sticks near the humans and absorbs as many cuddles as he can. Drake gets the clean bill of health, but he does need to lose approx. 30 lbs. to be at a healthier weight. With his eagerness to bond and aim to please, we have no doubt keeping him engaged and active will be easy! Drake seeks a home where he can cozy up and spend as much time with his humans as possible (a furry sibling would be a bonus!). |

Biscuits | Border Collie Mix | 10-Years-Old | Spayed Female | Approx. 66 lbs.; should be closer to 50 lbs.
This sweet girl came to us as an owner surrender after being with her humans since a puppy. She lived alongside another dog and a cat and did well with both. While a tough situation for all involved, Biscuits is trying to make sense of her new reality. Imagine being a type A work-a-holic, a caretaker whose sole job is to oversee a loved one day in and day out. You take your job very seriously. It gives you a sense of purpose and a sense of pride. Now imagine being let go, for reasons outside of your control and understanding, it just isn't the right job for you anymore. On top of the confusion and upheaval, Biscuits is grieving the loving family bond she once knew. After a life of caregiving, Biscuits is looking for a home where she will get to relax, let someone else care for her and just be a dog. But Biscuits is still figuring it out. Each day she settles in a little more and shows her sweet side with kisses and invitations for play. She loves to be near you, loves to play with a ball, and enjoys dips in the pool (whether it be full sized or kiddie sized, she isn't picky). Biscuits is true to her breed, she can't just give up her need to work entirely, and she will need a family who understands the drive of a Border Collie and can come up with creative ways to keep her busy while respecting that her body is feeling her age. Biscuits is searching for a forever home where she can be with her humans as much as possible! |

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. |
