Welcome to Lily's Legacy

Lily's Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary is a volunteer run nonprofit organization based in Petaluma, CA.  Our mission is to provide a safe and loving home for large breed senior dogs (50+ pounds, 7 years or older) who have been displaced from their homes and/or abandoned for any reason, until they are adopted or to remain at the sanctuary until they pass on.

We're glad you're here. Find out about Lily's Legacy, learn what's new, meet our dogs, and maybe even adopt one!

Giving Tuesday - You Exceeded Our Expectations!
​
​
​You helped us raise over $24,000 for our senior pups' veterinary care. You did this with open hearts and such good intentions knowing that our beloved senior dogs absolutely, positively matter.  

The donation count to date is $9,705 through our Mighty Cause campaign, $14,255 through our Facebook campaign and we have donations made by check and through PayPal.  We expect more checks to come in to help our cause.  

We're all struggling with how to express our gratitude in a way that truly lets every single one of you know how much this means to all of us at Lily's.  

We've given love and attention to a countless number of senior dogs; we've looked in their eyes to see that love returned.  For many we see relief - finally - from pain because they received the care they need.  For some, we've been there to give them love and support at the end of their days.  We give them a bit of heaven on earth until they go to the rainbow bridge.  What a gift volunteering for Lily's Legacy is for all of Lily's Angels.

We sincerely and humbly thank you for saving so many senior dogs during this campaign.

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're featured on Finding Sanctuary.  


Finding Sanctuary was founded in 2016 by Ellie Hurley, a passionate animal welfare activist, vegan, and lover of animal sanctuaries. Their mission is simple: to bring attention to animal sanctuaries and the people who run them. Ellie and her friend Morgan came out to our sanctuary in August for a tour and an interview.  Both were delightful, interesting young women.  Within 2 days of touring the sanctuary, Ellie had a video ready for us.  ​


Skylar was adopted by a fabulous gal named Liz. Liz made these videos just for us. It is HILARIOUS! Enjoy.

100 Sonoma People Who Care Winner

The moment it was announced that Lily's Legacy had won $13,000 in a contest sponsored by 100 Sonoma People Who Care, Founder Alice Mayn, Board Member Allie McLanahan and the rest of the many Lily's Angels in attendance were overjoyed. As always, we are deeply grateful to all the friends/supporters of our beloved senior pups who made this dream a reality!
