Story
Grace came from Contra Costa County Animal Services, where she was the last dog on the euthanasia list the day she was rescued. She was then brought into my care, where she initially showed signs of significant stress from her shelter experience. With patience, consistency, and a structured routine, Grace has truly come out of her shell.Grace is a very sensitive dog who thrives in a calm, predictable environment. She does not do well with other dogs, likely due to past trauma and her time in the shelter. She would do best in a home with no other pets, where she can feel safe and not have to share her space.She is an active, adventurous companion who loves hiking, swimming, and running alongside a bike. Grace is collar-trained for off-leash work and has a strong bond with her handler.Grace would do best with an experienced owner who understands structure, leadership, and can continue to provide her with the stability she needs to feel safe and confident.

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.

Despite her double FHO surgery, she hasn't lost her zest. She went to foster to heal and here's what the foster family told us about her: Charlotte is such a sweetie! She got along great with our two small dogs and when meeting other dogs, she just wanted to play with them. (We worked on her being less mouthy during dog playtime.) She knows 'fetch' and 'leave it'. We walked her a lot due to her surgery. She enjoys walks and was comfortable with up to 30-45 minute walks. We did have to watch her closely on walks because she likes to put everything into her mouth! Charlotte loves squeeky toys, meeting people and is crate and house trained. Overall, she's a lovely dog and will make a great addition to her new home.  Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 The Marin Humane Society 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, California 94949 Email: adoptions@marinhumanesociety.orgMarch 11, 2026, 10:00 pm
