Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Lakewood Ranch, Florida

Sweet Lily

Our sweet senior girl has a sad story. Recently, Lily was found by police in her home with her deceased owner and unfortunately ended up at the county shelter. There wasn't any family to take her She was so stressed, so we rushed to get her. We'll never know how long she stayed by her owner before help came

Lily is the sweetest 12-year-old Labrador that you will ever meet. When we first met her, she was so clearly heartbroken, confused, quiet, and just... so sad. Her whole world had changed overnight. But even through that, her gentle, loving nature still shines. She's great with other dogs, cats and every person she meets.

As with any senior dog, she does have typical old dog stuff and is a big girl at about 78lbs. The main thing we have been working to fix is urine incontinence. She is on meds (Proin) for that and we're just waiting/hoping it works. She goes to the bathroom outside, but tends to leak urine on her back legs, so she wears a diaper most of the time (the only issue is urine) and has to be kept clean and dry. She's an easy guest other than that.

Her foster family works full time outside of the home, so they aren't able to manage this as good as someone who is home all day. So - we are looking for either a new foster home or someone with a big heart for a senior girl that wants to adopt her. We'd love for her to have a permanent home again. She deserves it

She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative and has had senior bloodwork done, amongst other things

Lily has already been through so much loss and really deserves comfort, dignity and happiness in her golden years
