Thank you!

Chance - in fospice
Chance is a 10/11 year old Aussie mix from Hanford CA. He was an outdoor dog living with cats and several small dogs. After his owner died, all the animals were re-homed, Chance was the last one left. Thankfully, through a coordinated effort of Good Samaritans, Chance found his way to Lily’s.
We recently found out that he has a tumor on his lung. Unfortunately, the x-rays showed the tumor has grown a bit in a short period of time. At this point, we do not know how long he has left but he will live out his days well loved and cared for by his new fospice mom Mary in beautiful Colfax, CA.
Mary had contacted us a couple of months ago wanting to do fospice. She has had many dogs over the years and has managed all manner of health issues. Recently Mary emailed saying she would like to fospice Chance. When she met Chance, he greeted her with kisses to seal the deal. It was a good match! He hopped right in her car and off they went!
We are both happy and sad, Chance takes a piece of our hearts with him.

Lucca - in medical foster
Lucca, a 9-year-old Aussie/Border Collie mix, was surrendered to us due to life changes in his family. He had his intake exam and is underweight so he’s getting lots of kibble which makes him very happy!
Lucca is very sweet, gentle and loving. He's great with children and fine with other dogs. He has LOTS of energy, loves attention and lives for tennis balls.
He enjoys going for walks and playing fetch. He walks easily on leash and ignores people, other dogs, and cats. He is house-trained and goes to the door when he wants to go out.
Lucca has had some basic training. He knows, sit, stand, (lie) down, wait, and come. He rides well in the car, just lies down quietly. He enjoys puzzle games and "find it" around the house, which help to tire out his very active brain.
