My story

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

Hello world. My name is Lily Munster. I came into rescue when I was 6 weeks old. I came from a kill shelter. Myself and 4 other puppies were scheduled the next day to cross the rainbow bridge because of overcrowding. Thankfully this rescue stepped up and took all 5 of us babies. The other 4 who came with me have already been adopted. So, I wait. My foster mom said she thinks it is because I am a black dog.But boy, oh boy, I am a real character. I adore water. It can be the garden hose, a sprinkler, kiddie or dog pool, puddle of water, drinking water bowl, water you are throwing out of a cup, the shower, the water spicket connected to your house, well, you get the idea. My ideal family would like to be as active as me. Hiking, camping, playing in the ocean, lake, river or even your pool at home. I am a huge snuggler, having my hair brushed, helping you mow the grass (I'll follow behind you), and even helping you with your dinner, if you want.I am nervous when I first meet you. Please have patience for me to warm up. I am so worth the wait.I am house trained, leash trained, crate trained, doggy door trained. I live with many dogs here in foster care. My foster family thinks I would be a great companion to a young or old fur-sibling. I am ready to come home. It will be so fun.

More about this rescue

My name is Carla Carlton. We (my husband and I) are retired militay. He served in the Air Force for 25 years. We have always done some sort of servicing the community. So, when we got ready to retire, we found a place we wanted to live and bought a home. Well, the town we lived in has/had a high kill shelter. This broke our hearts.
Around this same time, I met a lady who fostered for Friends of Homeless Animals, RI. One day I got a call from FOHA there was a poodle in our shelter and he was on the short list. I went and pulled him. Roie (FOHA), helped set me up to foster and list our orphans from here as a courtesy post. I am not sure how long ago it was, 16-18 years, I think. The rest is history. Through them and Mountain Pet Rescue, CO (and a few others in CO, UT, IA, IL, OR, CA, MS...), we have placed over 2400 dogs/ puppies and cats.
