🐾A Different Way To Give🐾
~Same Life-Lasting Legacy~
DAF!
DAF DAY 2026 IS HERE!!!

One of the most meaningful ways to support Lily’s is through a Donor Advised Fund, (DAF). We’re proud to join a nationwide celebration of generosity, inviting supporters to turn their charitable dollars into something so special; second chances for senior dogs!

At Lily’s every dog deserves a future filled with love, comfort and companionship. When you recommend a charitable distribution to Lily’s through your DAF, you’re helping us provide our dogs exactly what they need while waiting for their furever homes.

Here's how to donate:

https://www.lilyslegacy.org/donate.html

If you would like more information about the benefits of giving charitable donations through setting up a Donor-Advised Fund, contact Lily's at 707-787-7010, and we will send you a free DAF Giving Guide.

Because giving isn’t about dollars, it’s about the lives those dollars can change. ❤️🐾

Thank you for helping us making every senior dog’s golden years a little brighter! 🐾

Newbie Alert!!!🐾❤️🐾❤️
DRAKE!

When we say handsome, we ain’t kiddin’!😏 Take a look for yourself! This striking young lad came to us after sadly losing his owner and the family member left had a severe allergy to him. 🤧Somewhere along the way, someone did make sure Drake never missed a meal, 😋 as he’s got about 25 pounds to lose (!) 🤓 But his weight doesn’t slow him down too much, honestly, (or keep him from being foxy!)😉

Drake is all-around wonderful! He grew up with a small kiddo and a cat too. He’s super easy-going with everyone and everything. He’s “chill,” as they say, and he’s a good cuddler too. You can take him anywhere! He’s 9-years old and soft, yet has a brawny way about him! Come meet him at Lily’s. Give us a call or send an email to arrange. 707-787-7010

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PORTER!
Oh how we love updates! We recently shared alumni Porter on some of his excursions, and we’re thrilled at how well he was doing. Well, his adopter just celebrated his 15th birthday with him and shared these heartwarming photos, stating, “We’ve been celebrating all week with his favorite things; food, friends and adventures! Even tho we just recently brought him home from Lily’s Legacy, this smiling guy has brought so much joy to our lives in such a short time. He really is such a character that makes me laugh every day!”

Happy bday, Porter! 🎈🎂🥳

MAX-MAXIMUS-MAXIMILLIAN-MAXY BOI

What do we say about Max!? This 7-year old was an owner surrender. His family was moving and they couldn’t take him. They took their other pup tho. 🥺 Max WAS raised with a passive pup and did fine. He’s not super interested in other dogs tho. What Max loves is humans! Max exhibits the typical behaviors of what his breeds are; Border Collie and Pyrenees. When you know, you know. 😉 If you have ever had the privilege of experiencing the bond that these breeds can provide, then you’ve lived! ❤️ Max wants to bond so badly. He seeks out his “person” on the regular. Max is agile, smart as a whip, sweet, and independent, as long as he knows where you are. 😏 I’m going to intentionally let it slip here and let you know that Max has bonded with me and I with him and I adore him. And if my own dogs wouldn’t reject him, he’d already be in my home. 😩 Max would do so well with a person(s) or a family where he could love and protect them. He does well with a strong leader, and does look for some guidance at times, in spite of being extremely smart. If you would like to experience the canine love of a lifetime, pick Max! Haha, no bias here! 😉 He is a big boy, and would need a yard and a little room to move, but humans to connect with regularly is numero uno-so let us know if this sounds like a possibility for you!

Remember the two scared and shy girls we posted previously? Welp, they are doing SO much better! 🥹🥹 They’ve come out of their kennels for love and walkies and even some zoomies!!! And guess what!? We may bring them to our ADOPTION & INFO EVENT TOMORROW!!!

Mama Maggie and daughter Lucy have hinted at wanting a little adventure, so we’re going to give them one! Come meet these two DARLING girls at:

We must interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to tell you about our newest addition…BISCUIT! 🥯🍞🥖🥐 (There’s NO biscuit emoji!)😩😩😩
Biscuit is just the cutest girl who has just arrived but is settling in nicely. In fact, she made a beeline for the pool upon arriving, but then she just hung out on the sunning deck in the shallows! When wet, she’s a bit of a doppelgänger for Maxy boi, don’tcha think?

Biscuits is playful and likes other dogs and the ball. That’s about as far as we’ve gotten as of now. But take a look and stay tuned. We’re smitten already! We think you will be too! Come and see! 707-787-7010.

🌻MARTHA🌻

Mother Nature got out the airbrush for this girl! Can we just talk for a minute about Martha’s ombré legs!? How in the world!? 😍 That flawless fade from glossy black to caramel is just showing off! And yet, Martha has no idea how lovely she is. And don’t get me started on the eyebrows! 🤎 Some of us would kill for brows like that! 😉 Add then the soulful amber eyes, and beautiful black & tan coat - she’s one striking girl! 📸 But then she gives you that soft, dreamy look, and suddenly, “beautiful” doesn’t quite cover it. 🥹She’s elegance, sweetness, and just enough silliness to remind you that underneath all that glamour, she’s still a dog! 🐾 Martha contains multitudes! But don’t just take our word for it! You should come find out for yourself! 🥰
