Our vision is to provide large breed senior dogs (50+ pounds, 7 years or older) a safe and loving home-like setting which provides personal attention, regular food and exercise, medical care, and behavioral training. This includes all senior dogs regardless of medical condition, including those needing hospice care. We remain sensitive to those who love their animals and due to health or economic conditions may need such a place for their beloved dogs to live out the remainder of their lives.
Volunteers are a vital component of the ongoing operation of Lily's Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary. They help feed, exercise and provide love to the dogs during their stay at Lily's. Our current volunteer needs are for Walkers and Cuddlers.
Walkers should have prior experience with dogs and be able to handle dogs of all sizes and demeanors. If you do not feel comfortable in this role, cuddlers are also a current volunteer need! Our cuddlers do just as their title suggests, getting in some hang time with our senior pups either on the couch or in their kennel.
There are now and will be many opportunities for contributions by volunteers both on and off site. Please let us know of any additional skills or expertise you may want to offer. As a small, primarily volunteer-led organization, we welcome help of all kinds.
