Meet Our Permanent Residents at Lily 's Legacy
Lily's Legacy offers rehabilitation and permanent sanctuary for dogs who, for reasons of age or ill-health, would be considered poor candidates for adoption at shelters. Although most of the dogs who come to Lily's Legacy stay for only a few weeks to a few months until they are found a forever home, some remain in residence for more extended periods while undergoing assessments of their health, or while awaiting or recuperating from medical procedures. Depending on the outcome of such tests and treatments (and other factors affecting their happiness and well-being), our long-term residents may either become available for adoption or remain with us for the rest of their lives as permanent residents.
Meet Lily's Official Ambassador - Henry!
Our cute Henry, a 10 year old deaf Rottie/Hound mix, came to Lily’s from the central valley where he was whisked from a shelter “just in time.”
After residing at Lily's for a while, we realized he is SO happy here. He loves being outside in our dog park, meandering around and sniffing or sleeping soundly on a soft bed (and we have many here at Lily's). We're thrilled he is now a resident, assuming the role of ambassador left vacant by our sweet Andy. Henry, you are loved by everyone here at Lily's. We're thrilled you're staying!

Sara
Our lovely Sara, a senior German Shepherd Dog, is a devoted companion to our director and founder. What a sweet girl she is! She ended up in a Southern California shelter after her person died and no other family member could take her in. Thanks to whole lot of caring people, she made it out of the shelter just in time. She's happy and healthy, loves her walks, playing 'find it' and she especially loves her rides in the car.
Sammy
He is a loving, outgoing, super friendly boy with paws as big as a bear's. He has found his way to Lily’s from being a stray in the Reno area via Norcal Golden Retriever Rescue. Sweet Sammy basks in the attention of our Lily's Angel volunteers. Every so often he'll retrieve one of his favorite toys and whip it into submission. Never ceases to make us laugh. We’re so glad you’re here, Sammy!!!
Lily
Lily is an 11- or 12-year old German Shepherd. She came to us from a very sad owner surrender situation. She had lived with the same couple her whole life. Her human mom passed away and then her human dad was ill and lost his home.
She is super sweet, has had some big losses and now finally feels safe and loved again. She has found her fur-ever home here at Lily's where she will never want for love or attention.
Our newest house dog is Angie! (New photos coming soon!)
Woody - RIP
We lost Woody to bladder cancer on January 12, 2020.
Rest in peace dear boy. We will miss you.
