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.

Harvey is living the dream!!
Harvey is truly living his best life. Sandy and Doug love him so much. I still have no idea why anyone would have dumped him. Everywhere he goes people live him and he soaks it all in.
Banksky is available for adoption and enjoying foster life.
Welcome Neville to the Senior Sanctuary
Typically we bring Senior Sanctuary Program pups directly to the Pad. I really felt like we needed a break after all the recent heartache, an upcoming trip I'm taking, and just life stuff. But, Neville called on the ol iBone and asked if he could chat with Daddypad. He had a heart to paw conversation.
Neville: Hello Daddypad… my name is Neville. I’m a senior bulldog now. My steps are slower and my naps are longer… but my heart is still full. I heard about your place called Lily’s Pad Rescue where senior dogs can rest, be loved, and live out their days peacefully. That sounded like a dream to a fellow like me. So I was wondering, Daddypad… do you think there might be a little spot for me at the Pad? Somewhere a senior bulldog could rest his paws?
Daddypad: Neville, every senior deserves a soft landing. Come on home to Lily’s Pad. I'll be there soon to scoop you up!
So, welcome Neville officially to the Senior Sanctuary Program at Lily's Pad Rescue!
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.
PLEASE NOTE:
By submitting this application, I understand that Lily's Pad Rescue has the right to accept or deny my surrender application. By submitting, I hereby make available for adoption through Lily’s Pad Rescue the above named dog. I certify that I am the owner of this dog, free and clear of all other interests. I certify that this dog is not possessed of any dangerous or vicious propensities and that I have not willfully concealed information about this dog that might indicate such propensities. The information I have provided about this dog is true and complete. I forever release, discharge and agree to hold harmless and indemnify Lily’s Pad Rescue, its Board of Directors, officers and agents from all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, or liability of any kind whatsoever arising as a result of or in connection with the adopter or any other disposition of the about-named dog. By submitting I understand that this dog will become under the ownership of Lily's Pad Rescue once he/she is in the physical custody of an LPR representative and is an irrevocable decision on my part. At the end of the surrender application, there is a mandatory additional area to indicate you have read and understand this condition. We will not enforce the surrender form agreement until the dog comes in to the physical custody of our representatives. The surrender contract must be electronically signed prior to an LPR representative picking up the dog.

PAD SANCTUARY
In some situations, it is best for animals to join the Pad Sanctuary program. 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. Sanctuary dogs are able to live out their life with joy and gratitude at the Pad or in a Pawspice foster home. This program exists by the support of our donors. 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. Lily’s Pad is a registered 501c(3) non profit organization, so your donations are 100% tax deductible. (Tax ID#: 81-3017855)
