Soul Crushing Loss

We have some extremely devastating news to share – our beautiful Lily has gained her Angel wings. 

Without any sign or warning, Lily collapsed, had a seizure, and left us way too soon. What makes this loss even more soul crushing is that Lily was not even ready for us to love her. 

Since she was found as a stray and taken to the NYC ACC, her history was a mystery, but we can tell you she was afraid and allowed very limited human contact; we can only imagine the horror she must have endured in her life which caused her to be so fearful of humans. 

Our team is extremely heartbroken; we were all looking forward to getting to know Lily and watch her flourish and shine with the other senior pups here in Sanctuary. It is extremely difficult when we only have a short time with them, this type of loss hurts us so deeply.

Lily, we are so sorry you were abandoned in this condition and we were too late to help you. We hope you know that even though your time with us was short, you were very loved.

Thank you so much to all those who believed Lily’s life mattered, for donating for caring and for being a support to us during this time.
