Lily’s Pad Rescue
IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE SPECIAL GIRL…
Some things begin on their own without a conscious decision or choice. Fate makes paths cross and a path is started. That is the case with Lily’s Pad Rescue. On February 6, 2015 Mama and DaddyPad (then known just as Rachel and Ken) adopted Lilypad. Her name prior to that day was LuLu. Lil was a 15 week old English Bulldog with Spina Bifida and as a result she was fully incontinent and had to wear diapers inside. The space she snuggled into in Rachel and Ken’s hearts opened the door to many more to come and the birth of Lily’s Pad Rescue.

Fabulous foster of the week is Rodeo!

Rodeo (TX)
Rodeo is an English Bulldog with Spina Bifida. I am spunky, spicy, fearless and sassy! They say I have spina bifida, but I don’t have a clue and act “normal”. I am fed separate and love to eat and will help myself to others food. My hobbies are watching a box called a TV, looking for snacks, and snuggling with anyone available.
OUR PROGRAMS
ADOPTION
Lily’s Pad Rescue takes in bulldogs of all kinds that are medically challenged with issues ranging from Spina Bifida (SB), Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD), Swimmer’s Syndrome to rehabilitate them (if necessary) and rehome. They are then placed with loving foster families until their forever home is found. Our ultimate goal for any of our rescues is to find them a loving and caring forever home that accepts them unconditionally. If you are interested in giving your heart to a very special pup, the first step is to complete an application. If you are not local to the dog’s foster, but you are the right family for one of these pups, then we will work with a our rescue partners to complete the home inspection and work with a transport team to get him or her to you. We would also Zoom, Skype or FaceTime with you to see your environment in real time. The only thing that may not be able to occur is the meet and greet with the pup, unless you were willing to come to us. You will have post adoption support by our Adoption Support team members.
ADOPTION PROCESS
Fall in love with one of our available dogs!!
Go to our website to fill out our online adoption application at: www.lilyspadrescue.org/adoption-form.
Your application will be reviewed and, if approved, you will be contacted for a telephone or Zoom interview.
If both parties agree to move forward, a meet and greet (if local) will be scheduled. Your references will be contacted and a home check set up by one of our team members. If out of state, then we will utilize our rescue partners and transport team.
An adoption contract will be completed, adoption fee donated and then based on your location, your dog will be delivered to or picked up by you.
OWNER SURRENDER
Lily’s Pad Rescue does take in owner surrender dogs. We understand that special needs dogs require extensive resources ranging from medical care, diet, all the way to the daily care required for a diapered or differently abled dog. Filling out this form does NOT guarantee that the rescue will be able to take on your dog. We are a foster based organization and only have a certain number of spaces available at any given time.

This program is in place for senior dogs, those with significant medical issues, or those that may have lost the only human they’ve ever known.

The medical and nutritional needs for these dogs is covered for life by the rescue. Please consider donating below via PayPal using the Friends and Family option.
