My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Born February 9, 2020 Lily aka Lily Bear, Lily Bell is a female German Shepherd mix seeking a forever home! This girl is a huge cuddle bug! She's that old saying Sweet and Spice and everything nice! She is spunky, lots of energy, sassy, and playful. You pick her up to hold her she usually cuddles right into your arms like a baby. She even reaches for you, with her front paws, if she wants you to hold her. Lily’s ideal family would be an active one who would include her in adventures like hiking, running and camping. Lily loves kids and want to be part of the action wherever she goes!

Lily has Megaesophagus which is a medical condition effecting the esophagus, which is the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. She eats her meals in a custom built Bailey chair so she can remain upright 20-30 minutes after each meal. After that, she is right back to her puppy antics! Families who have adopted dogs with Megaesophagus report that the feeding process it is pretty easy and routine after you get the hang of it.

Lily currently lives with several other dogs and one elusive cat. She is kennel trained, and currently learning how to ring a bell to let her people know she wants to go outside. Lily knows basic commands but gets excited and forgets sometimes. She definitely has the German Shepherd smarts and is highly trainable. Lily is leash trained and loves walks and car rides.

All large and/or active dogs will require a full fenced (6ft) secure yard.
No children under 5.

Like all Mikey's Chance dogs, this dog will come to you from a foster home that has provided loving one-on-one attention, socialization and some basic training, as well as quality food and exercise.

Applications can be found at www.mikeyschance.com and completed on a computer, tablet, and/or phone. Please note that adopters are not chosen on a first come, first served basis, but full consideration is given to the best fit for the dog AND the adopter. Applications can take up to 3 weeks to process. Application submission DO NOT guarantee approval for adoption.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application to be filled out which includes personal references. An in-Home check by a Mikey's Chance volunteer is also performed prior to adoption. Our dogs come to the adopter "ready-to-go" with current Vet health checks, all shots and vaccinations current and the animal spayed or neutered, as well as micro-chipped.

Our adoption process can take 2-4 weeks to process as we are run completely by volunteers, all of whom work full time jobs.

Go meet their pets

We depend on a network of volunteers and fosters for the care of our dogs. The dogs are fostered primarily in Tri-Cities, WA. We often have Meet 7 Greet events at Petsmart and Paws Natural Pet Emporium LLC both in Kennewick.

To find out about these and our other events check us out on Facebook or at our website at MikeysChance.com.
