My story

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

Meet Lily Luz – A Bright Light with a Big Heart



Lily Luz’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Rescued from a municipal shelter where she was at risk of euthanasia, Lily came to us emaciated, fighting pneumonia, and living with a congenital condition called megaesophagus, which requires her to be fed upright. Despite all the odds stacked against her, Lily has shown nothing but love, joy, and unshakable resilience. Today, she’s thriving. This sweet girl is dog-, cat-friendly, and crate trained. Her spirit is bright, her tail always wagging, and her love for life is contagious. Lily requires a bit of extra care, but what she gives in return is immeasurable. Adopting a dog like Lily isn’t just an act of kindness—it’s a gift. It’s a chance to change a life in the most meaningful way and to witness the strength, gratitude, and love that radiate from a dog who knows they’ve been chosen.



Loving & playful



Gets along with everyone



Joyful soul with special needs



Looking for a family to celebrate her for who she is



Special needs dogs like Lily don’t see limitations—they see life. And they remind us every day what it means to truly live it.



All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!
