Lily’s Pad Rescue facilitates care for medically fragile bulldogs in need of loving, accepting devotion. This can include hospice care for dogs at the end of their lives, transportation to and from foster and adoptive families, rehabilitation or rehoming of bulldogs when able, or be the last home on their life journey. We educate and advocate, providing information of injustices animals face at the hands of abusers, and replace cruelty with love, to make each day their best possible day.

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

2. Go to our website to fill out our online adoption application at: www.lilyspadrescue.org/adoption-form.

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.
