Raisin

Petaluma, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Raisin | Pittie/Boxer Mix | 8-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 60 lbs. This handsome guy came to us after 499 days in the Tracy Animal Shelter where he had become a volunteer favorite. Raisin is typically known for his spark and hope, but that was starting to fade after a year without a family. Volunteers reached out to Lily’s and we couldn’t help but fall in love with him. We are still getting to know Raisin as he settles into the sanctuary, but so far, he has been a delightful, quiet and loving resident. He has gotten along well with the other sanctuary residents, and is always up for a romp or wrestle in the corral. But don’t take our word for it! Here’s what his past short-term foster had to say: "Raisin is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He settled into our routine quickly and adapted to a consistent schedule with ease. He’s quiet and rarely barks, only using his voice to alert us if something seems unusual. He is incredibly food-motivated, which makes him eager to learn and responsive to commands. Raisin already knows several tricks, is very smart, and genuinely enjoys training sessions. He also loves head scratches and is happiest simply being near his people. Whether you’re relaxing at home or running errands, he’s happy to be by your side. Raisin is an also a great companion in the car, happily relaxing in the back seat or sticking his head out the window to enjoy the breeze. At home, he enjoys playing with his toys, walks nicely on a leash, and sleeps soundly in his crate through the night.We’ve absolutely fallen in love with Raisin. He has been gentle, affectionate, and friendly with every person he’s met.”

Bonded Pair

Lucy (Bonded with Maggie)

Mutt

Female, 8 yrs 1 mo

Petaluma, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This sweet mother (Maggie) / daughter (Lucy) came to us as a bonded pair. The story goes they spent their life unhoused with their human, with an on-the-go lifestyle. When she could no longer care for them, a kind-hearted woman took them in. When it didn’t work with her, due to no fault of their own, she found them a place at to Lily’s. While we don’t know much about their past, we imagine they are used to their world changing around them, but the loss of their person has been a big one. Maggie is the worrier for the two, uncertain of what’s ahead. Maggie responds well to calm and consistent reassurance that she and her baby are safe. But it doesn’t take long for her to accept affection. She’s a sweet girl who wants to let her guard down and be the full-time cuddle bug she is at heart. Lucy follows her mom’s lead and is on the quieter/more timid side. But don’t let her fool you, while she won’t ask for pets, she will gladly lean in when they’re offered. Her loving heart is just below her shy exterior. While the pair is still getting settled into sanctuary life, they are beginning to open up more each day, and have even let us see their silly side, wrestling and running in the Lily’s dog park. They have gotten along well with all critters so far, thy even reportedly lived temporarily with another dog and cat and did well with both. We have no doubt these two will only continue to bloom and we can’t wait to see it. *Lucy is on the right in the photos.

Duke

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos

Petaluma, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Handsome Duke was found as a stray with a prong collar embedded into his neck and was understandably scared and nervous with handling. Given his condition both physically and mentally due to neglect, he was initially thought to be a senior, but as Duke has gotten comfortable we are fairly certain that isn't the case — Duke is closer to 4 years old. He has become quite the love while he has been at Lily’s Legacy. His neck has healed nicely, and he is learning to trust in leaps and bounds. Duke seems to really enjoy the company of people and is very eager to please. He is also calm around other dogs after a proper introduction and time to settle in, but he can be reactive when he sees them on leash, so this will take guidance and consistency from his person. He is highly food motivated and really wants to please his people so bad, but needs an experienced owner who can help him learn to calm and control his energy. Walks, hikes, drives and some fun toys will go a long way with Duke. We are enjoying watching Duke begin to shine like the diamond he truly is. He is going to make someone a wonderful and loyal companion.
