Nikki and Koda ended up in a shelter in SoCal after their owner passed away. They had lived on a piece of land in Temecula with other dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, pigs ducks and goats. Nikki had been with her owner since she was a puppy and was described as the mama dog on the property and the animals would all go to her. She even raised a goat as her own! Nikki knows her basic commands and has the sweetest disposition. She loves to snuggle into pillows and blankets for a comfy nap. Nikki is an easy-going girl who craves human affection and has been described as “loving baby animals.” Nikki's son, Koda, is half lab, half malamute who was born on the family ranch.

Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Joey came to Lily’s after his owner had to go into assisted living. Joey has gone through several changes in his life but remains a loving guy searching for his furever human/s. Joey is easy to love. His blond locks, adorable toothless grin and puppy dog eyes draw you in, but his sweet demeanor, love for cuddling and calm nature make you stay! Joey is happily in his retirement era and enjoys his daily walks but most of all loves to spend his time lounging about with his humans, finding the nearest dog bed or couch for belly rubs and ear scratches. One of Joey’s favorite activities is to sit with a volunteer on his favorite bench in the Lily’s Big Field and watch the wildlife and happenings go on around him, quietly soaking up the sunshine and time with his humans. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home so he can receive all the love and attention he deserves.
