How partnering works
Lily's Second Chance is a visibility layer for senior dogs, not a shelter. We gather adoptable older dogs from shelter and rescue sources across the United States and link every listing straight back to the organization that cares for the dog. That means partnering with us costs shelters nothing and never takes anything away — applications, adoptions, and relationships with adopters stay entirely with you.
For funders and sponsors, support goes toward the work that keeps older dogs visible: listings, outreach, senior-dog resources, and limited assistance for senior pets when funds and partners allow. We’re honest about what your support does and doesn’t do — we don’t promise guaranteed medical, rescue, transport, or rehoming assistance for any individual pet.
Lily's Second Chance is a Tennessee nonprofit corporation. It is not currently recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and contributions are not currently tax-deductible as charitable contributions. See our Donation Policy.

Need a listing updated, added, or removed — or spotted something wrong? Use our report a listing or correction form. Every report is reviewed by a person, and no listing is ever changed automatically.
