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.
Please support us by purchasing our apparel and advertise our cause! And you will also look fab!
A word from Harvey ..
Hi Fwends, It’s Me—Harvey!
Guess what? I’ve been in my forever home for a whole WEEK and I’m basically the boss now. I’ve sniffed every corner of the yard (even the mysterious bush that smells like squirrel dreams), and I’ve picked three favorite trees for my potty business. I’m a creature of routine and refined taste.
Mommy Sandy showed me the motor home and WHOA—it’s like a rolling sniff palace. I learned how to get in and out in one try (I’m a genius, obviously), and now I’m ready to hit the road. I told Mommy I wanna go on a trip soon. I’m the perfect travel size, I don’t bark (I’m polite), and I look very cute in a car seat. Campground neighbors, prepare to fall in love.
But my most important job? Helping Daddy Doug heal his new knee. I’m his emotional support potato. I snuggle him, supervise his recovery naps, and occasionally lick his elbow for good luck. His right knee is healing super fast, and I think my cuddles are the secret sauce.
Also—I’m off all my meds! No more Prozac, no more Gabapentin. Just pure Harvey energy and love. I feel amazing. I zoom. I snooze. I snuggle. Repeat.
Thank you to Lily’s Pad Rescue for saving me and helping me find my people. I am so, so loved. Like, heart-exploding, tail-wagging, snuggle-puddle loved.
Okay, I gotta go check on Daddy’s knee and maybe sniff the motor home again. Love you all!

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.

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.

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)
