Story
This beautiful boy is a spunky, super smart pup. He was a stray in the central valley before coming to Lily’s Legacy. He has settled in well at Lily’s. He loves his romps in the fields, chasing balls and outings to local parks and outdoors restaurants with our volunteers. Will would love to have a person who will teach him things, take him on long walks and adventures and spend quiet time with him at home. Will is a happy, healthy, housebroken boy. Being a shepherd, he is hoping for his own person he can love and who will love him. He’s both affectionate and attentive. He will bring joy, love and laughter to your life.

Labrador Retriever Hound (Unknown Type)

Penngrove, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This is Sammie, she is beautiful, desperate for her human to love her. She is active, playful and very young at under a year. Sammie needs to be with her person she gets afraid when left alone (yep, separation anxiety). This can be worked on, but it will take a special person that is willing to help her get over her fear of being dumped again. When she is with you, she is calm and relaxed. She is not so much interested in playing fetch or being with other dogs. She wants to sit quietly with you doing whatever it is you are doing. Her high energy would work well for an athletic family or person that would be willing to take her for a good run once or twice a day. Any marathoners out there? She is a keeper and a lover for the right family, perfect size, a tall 45 pounds.

Story
Mudball - don't let the name scare you!  He's clean and clipped and looking his best now.  This 5-6 year old Maltese mix is playful and friendly.  He was OK with our shelter cat and friendly with the dogs he's met here but a bit much for young children.  This cutie would be perfect with adults looking for a walking buddy!

Story
Woody is a shy guy at the moment looking for new parents who will help build his confidence.  Training can help a lot and what 1 year old terrier doesn't need that?  He was appropriate with our shelter cat and the dogs he's met here and having a dog buddy to be a role model can also help.  Woody is cute and young and ready to blossom in the right home.
