Story
Tony Baloney is a lovable goofball who was picked up as a stray in Oakland. Tony is crate trained, house trained, and is a very quick learner. He has mastered basic obedience and he already has learned to sit, stay, down, and wait at the door. His favorite activities are snuggling, going for walks, playing flirt pole or ball (with humans or with himself), and learning new tricks. Tony walks well on leash and is perfecting his manners more and more everyday! He is both food and toy motivated and loves nothing more than to please his people. Tony does well with other dogs with proper introductions and loves playing chase with his foster dog sister. He is looking for an active home who can provide him with the mental and physical exercise he craves!

Story
Sweet Stella was found as a stray on a rural road in Colusa County next to a bowl of food, water and a blanket. A good Samaratin brought her into the county shelter where the staff found her a second start at Lily’s. Stella is a gentle girl who is shy at first but once she warms up, loves human attention. She is happiest hanging in the Barn at Lily’s, cozying up on the furniture with Cuddlers. Stella is still acclimating to the changes in her life, but we have a feeling she will only continue to blossom as she gets used to life at the sanctuary!
