"LILY" CHOCOLATE LAB "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

  "LILY"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 


LILY  breed Retriever, Chocolate Labrador, spayed female, 7Y/11M/2W
65 lbs (overweight)   $200  
*Crate trained
*Good with Kids
*Needs a fenced yard
 
Hi there… I’m Lily. 💛 
I’m a 7-year-old chocolate lab, about 65 pounds of what I like to think is the perfect mix of playful energy and soft, snuggly sweetness.

Let me tell you a little about me.
I’ve got plenty of pep left in my step—I can run, chase a ball, hop in and out of the car, and take stairs like a pro. When I get the chance to stretch my legs, I really stretch them… zoomies are kind of my thing. But once I’ve had my fun? I’m all about the cuddles. Scratch behind my ears and I will absolutely melt into you.
I’ve spent a lot of time in a small outdoor run, so the moments I get to be out with people are my favorite. That’s when you really see me—happy, wiggly, and just soaking up attention like sunshine. Sometimes I burst out ready to play, and sometimes I just wander over like, “Hi… can we just hang out?”

I’ve been around kids—little ones and bigger ones—and I’ve always been gentle and kind. I even met a tiny human when he was just 2 years old, and we got along great. I don’t have a mean bone in my body.
Other animals? I’m pretty unbothered, honestly. Chickens, cats, sheep, dogs—you name it, I’ve seen it wandering around, and I’ve never felt the need to chase or fuss. I’m more of a “live and let live” kind of girl.


If I could ask for anything, it would be this: more time with my people. More space to run. More love. I’ve had a quieter life so far, and I’m ready to be part of a home where I’m not just waiting for visits—but living life right alongside you.

I don’t need anything fancy. Just a yard to stretch my legs, a ball to chase, and someone who will sit with me when the day winds down.
I promise I’ll meet you with a wagging tail, a gentle heart, and lots of love to give.

to apply for adoption 

CODY
Dachshund / Chihuahuat
neutered male
12Y/5M/1W 13lbs  $200  
*needs fenced yard *adult only home preferred *housetrained
*not good with cats, kids 
 
 
 Hi there, my name is Cody, and I’m a 12-year-old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix weighing about 13 pounds. I may be a senior gentleman, but I’ve still got plenty of personality and a lot of love to give the right person.

I spend most of my day relaxing inside the house where I can wander around freely and keep an eye on things. I sleep on my own cozy bed in my human’s bedroom. I’m house trained, leash trained, and I walk nicely on a loose leash—though I might bark or lunge a little when I see new people or dogs. Once I get to know someone, I warm up just fine. I just prefer to take introductions at my own pace.

My favorite thing in the whole world is going for walks. I get excited to explore and sniff around the neighborhood. After a good walk, I’m happy to come home, nap, and enjoy a calm, peaceful day. I also enjoy spending time near my person—I’m a loyal little companion.


Because I’m getting older, I’ve learned that I really prefer peace and quiet. Living with young children has been stressful for me, and I’ve started giving warning growls when I feel overwhelmed. My family loves me very much and wants what’s best for everyone, so they’re helping me find a child-free home where I can feel relaxed and safe.

I do best with people who understand that I need a little space around my food and time to get comfortable with strangers. I’m friendly or politely aloof with other dogs, but I do enjoy chasing cats, so a cat-free home would probably be best.


My perfect home would be quiet, calm, and child-free, with someone who enjoys daily walks and doesn’t mind a loyal little shadow nearby. If you’re looking for a sweet senior who appreciates the simple things—walks, naps, and companionship—I might just be your guy.
