Levi (bonded with Kezar)

Golden Retriever

Male, 7 yrs 2 mos
Petaluma, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kezar and Levi lived a happy life in the city with their mom, dad and resident cat. Mom took them on numerous walks and a daily hike. When she passed dad tried to keep up with their enrichment activities until his health made that no longer possible. His son wanted the best for them and knew it was time for them to find a new home. That’s when Lily’s entered the scene. Kezar and Levi are quite the duo. Like George Clooney and Brad Pitt, these handsome gentlemen make quite the pair. Kezar (the lab mix) is 10 years old and more refined than his younger counterpart. Levi (the Golden Retriever) is the younger of the two and it shows. While Kezar is fairly mellow and easy going, Levi is playful and silly. Kezar is happy to relax and enjoy a quiet day, while Levi loves to play with toys and seeks the attention of others to join him in the shenanigans. And that’s ok – Levi keeps Kezar youthful and Kezar keeps Levi in check. They really compliment each other and are looking for an adopter who will open their home and heart to both.

Lobo (bonded with Maya)

Labrador Retriever

Male, 8 yrs
Petaluma, CA
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Maya and Lobo are a friendly pair of labs who came to us as owner surrenders after their family could no longer care for them. They lived mostly outdoors, however, are quickly acclimating to the luxuries of indoor living, seeming to be housebroken with affinities for comfy beds! Maya is a loving, gentle girl who thinks she’s a lapdog! She greets you with a happy smile and nudge for attention. Lobo is a friendly, sweet mellow guy who also loves to be pet and get attention. They both are very bonded to each other, have been together their whole lives and will only be re-homed together. Both dogs have grown up alongside a child from 2 - 9 years old and were very gentle. ​ We’re working on addressing some needed vet care and both pups need to lose about 30 lbs. But they are overall in good health and looking for a loving, patient home where they can go home together and continue their wellness journey!

Duke

German Shepherd Dog

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

Story
Handsome Duke was found as a stray in Stanislaus County with a prong collar embedded into his neck. He was understandably nervous with handling and with these two strikes against him he was placed on the euthanasia list. As a rescue we were allowed to take him on and we are so glad we did. 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. We think 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 once they meet, but he can be reactive when he sees them on leash. We know Duke just wants to play so bad, but he will need proper introduction with other dogs. Duke is appropriate with small dogs and the previous shelter reported he is also good with cats. Duke will need a home that will meet his needs both mental and physical. Walks, hikes and some fun puzzle toys will go a long way with Duke. He is highly food motivated and is so ready to have someone work with him on obedience. 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.

Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rosie | Yellow Lab | 10-Years-Old | Spayed Female | Approx. 60 lbs. Sweet Rosie came to us originally in 2023 and has lived with kids, dogs and cats throughout her life and done well. However, the more we continue to learn about this sensitive girl, she likely is looking for a quieter home in her senior years, where she can live out her retirement getting all the attention she deserves. Rosie is an energetic senior who loves to play fetch, with toys, romp in the backyard and go on daily sniffaris. She loves to play with other dogs but is happy to come home and snuggle once she has had her daily outings. Rosie is looking for a calm, quiet home - a doggie friend would be a bonus, but mostly she is searching for consistent and dedicated humans.
