A new leash on life
Lily’s Legacy finds homes, happiness for abandoned older dogs By Judith M. Wilson C omfy beds and tasty food, cuddles and kind hands make life good at Lily’s Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary. The canine haven in the rolling hills outside Petaluma is a dream come true for good dogs who’ve been cast adrift after losing their homes—and caring for them is founder and executive director Alice Mayn’s passion. “It’s what Lily wanted me to do,” she says. Lily was the 12-year-old rescue dog Mayn took home from the Sonoma County Animal Shelter in November 2007 and lovingly cared for until she passed on to doggie heaven four months later. “Senior dogs are the hardest dogs to get out of shelters,” she says. “That’s why we’re here.”
