**Lily’s Second Chance Featured on Wet Nose Wednesday** Lily’s Second Chance founder Sam joined Wet Nose Wednesday to share how Lily’s story became the inspiration for a mission to help senior shelter dogs find homes. Sam explained that Lily was an older shelter dog who had been waiting for a home for nearly a year. She was sweet, already trained, great with people and children, and simply needed someone to give her a chance. After adopting her, Sam experienced firsthand how special senior dogs can be. When Lily passed away, Sam wanted others to experience that same kind of love. Lily’s Second Chance was created to help senior dogs who are often overlooked in shelters because they do not have as much time as younger dogs to be found by the right family. The website allows visitors to browse senior adoptable dogs, share individual dog profiles, read senior dog stories, leave memorials for beloved pets, and submit happy ending adoption stories. The organization also highlights at-risk senior dogs first each day through its Facebook page. Sam also shared plans for a “Fallen Angels” page, created to honor senior dogs who do not make it out of the shelter and to help raise awareness about the urgency these dogs face. Lily’s Second Chance has no ads on the website. The goal is simple: keep the focus on the dogs and help more senior pets find loving homes.
