💙 Thankful Thursday 💙

If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that saving these babies truly takes a village. 🐾

Today, we want to take a moment to thank every single person and business who continues to show up for Lily’s Rescue Rehab and the babies in our program.

Recently, Belton Price Chopper donated hot dogs for our babies, and let’s just say… they were VERY much appreciated! 🌭🐶 It’s acts of kindness like this, big and small, that remind us just how fortunate we are to have a community standing behind these babies.

Whether you donate $5, provide food or supplies, volunteer your time, attend a fundraiser, share one of our posts, or simply tell someone about our mission — you are helping us continue this work.

We can provide the care, training, enrichment, patience, and love, but we cannot do it alone.

Every second chance we give is a community effort. Every success story belongs to all of us.

To everyone who continues to support us along the way, thank you for believing in these babies and helping us give them the lives they deserve. 💙🐾

We truly could not do this without you.

🐾 Bellamy has waited long enough. It’s time for his forever.

Bellamy is our longest resident and has been part of Lily’s Rescue Rehab since July 2025. In fact, Bellamy holds a very special place in our story—he was the very first resident at our North Scott facility. ❤️

His story started when he was found running down a highway near St. Louis. We don’t believe Bellamy ever truly knew what it meant to have a home. Based on his history and behavior, we believe he was likely raised in a cage and used as a breeding dog.

When Bellamy came to us, he was also heartworm positive. He went through treatment, fought through it, and today, Bellamy has beaten heartworm! 🙌

Since arriving, this boy has worked incredibly hard. He’s had training, consistency, patience, enrichment, and most importantly—the opportunity to learn that people can be safe.

Now he needs something we simply can’t give him inside a facility: a home of his own.

🐕 Bellamy is 100% German Shepherd—he was DNA tested!
🏡 He would thrive with a fenced backyard and a dog-savvy, confident handler.
🐾 We believe he would do best as the only pet in the home, although he may be able to coexist with another dog with the right match and proper introductions. Our team would be happy to help with those introductions.

Bellamy has overcome so much. From running down a highway, to heartworm treatment, to becoming our very first North Scott resident—this boy has fought for his second chance. Now we need to help him find it.

He’s been waiting since July 2025. Please help us make this the post that finds Bellamy his person. ❤️

❤️ Austin’s story is still being written. ❤️

We are so grateful for our partnership with the Humane Society of Ray County. Together, we’ve successfully found homes for several dogs who simply weren’t doing well in a traditional shelter environment. Sometimes these babies don’t need anything complicated—they just need time, a calmer environment, consistency, and people who refuse to give up on them.

Austin is one of those babies. 🐾

We haven’t had a lot of interest in Austin just yet, but that doesn’t mean we stop trying. Every single day, our team continues working with him—helping him build confidence, heal from his past, and learn that people can be trusted.

And then there’s Cindy. ❤️

Cindy is a volunteer with HSRC who cared for Austin before he came to Lily’s Rescue Rehab. When she comes to visit, Austin remembers her. He remembers the person who showed him patience, kindness, and compassion during another uncertain chapter of his life. Watching him open up when he sees her is pretty special.

This is why shelter partnerships are so important. It takes all of us working together to give dogs like Austin the time and opportunities they deserve.

Thank you, Cindy. Thank you, Humane Society of Ray County. And thank you to every shelter partner who trusts us with these babies.

Austin, your people just haven’t found you yet. But we’re going to keep looking until they do. ❤️🏡

Enrichment is so much more than just play—it gives our rescue babies a chance to think, explore, learn, and build confidence. 🐾💙

For dogs who have experienced stress, uncertainty, or life in a shelter, these moments matter. New smells, puzzles, training exercises, agility, walks, and one-on-one time help keep their minds and bodies engaged while teaching them that the world can be a pretty fun place. 🥹

Enrichment is rehabilitation. And sometimes, the smallest experiences create the biggest changes. 🐶✨

Sweet Summer deserved a little extra love. 💕 A fresh bath from Michelle, pretty painted nails from Kaitlyn, and lots of love from our team. 🐾

At 14 years old, after her whole world changed, we’re doing everything we can to remind this beautiful girl just how special she is. 💗

Summer and Murdoch are a bonded pair looking for a foster or forever home together. 🏡

Sarah’s story started on a chain. 💔 But we are determined to make sure it ends with a family. 🏡❤️

When Sarah first came to us, she didn’t know how to simply be a dog. She had so much to learn about people, trust, love, and enjoying life. And goodness, has this girl come a long way in 60 days.

Today, Sarah got to spend some special one-on-one time with Kayla. Kayla donates her time, patience, and training knowledge to help Sarah build the confidence and skills she needs to be successful in a forever home.

Every outing, every new experience, and every training session gets Sarah one step closer to the life she deserves.

Thank you, Kayla, for continuing to pour so much love and time into our rescue babies. ❤️

Sarah’s life started on a chain. Let’s make sure the rest of her story is filled with love. 🐾🏡

27 days ago, Summer and Murdoch’s entire world changed. 💔

Summer spent 14 years with the same family. Murdoch spent all eight years of his life in that same home, right beside Sarah.

Then, on the same day, everything they had ever known changed.

Their home was gone. Their family was gone. Their routines were gone.

The one thing they still had was each other.

Summer and Murdoch came to Lily’s Rescue Rehab together, and through everything they have experienced, their bond has remained incredibly strong. They find comfort and security in one another, and we know these two need a home where they can continue their lives together. ❤️

Summer is 14. Murdoch is 8. They are incredibly sweet, wonderful with children and cats, and we are continuing Murdoch’s temperament testing with other dogs.

One of the hardest things to watch is Summer. She will walk over to the fence, sit quietly, and just stare out… waiting.

We don’t know exactly what she’s waiting for, but it breaks our hearts every single time.

We love these babies. Our team gives them wonderful care, affection, enrichment, and everything we possibly can.

But Summer is 14 years old. She deserves more than a room in a facility.

She deserves a soft bed to curl up in at night.
Murdoch deserves to have his best friend sleeping beside him.
They deserve a couch. They deserve a family.
They deserve to feel like they are home again.

Most of all, after losing everything familiar in a single day, they deserve to stay together.

We are looking for a foster or forever home for Summer and Murdoch. 🏡🐾

If you cannot open your home to Summer and Murdoch, there are still two incredibly important ways you can help.

Please SHARE their story. Somewhere out there is a family with enough room in their home and their hearts for these two deserving souls.

And if you are able, please consider making a donation. Every donation helps us continue providing care, love, training, enrichment, medical support, and a safe place to land for Summer, Murdoch, and all of the babies in our rehabilitation program while they wait for their second chance.

🐾 Venmo:

Whether it’s $5, $10, $25 or simply sharing this post — it all matters. It helps us keep saying “yes” to animals who need more time, more support, and someone willing to believe they are worth saving.

Please help us get Summer and Murdoch out of a facility and back into a home — together. ❤️🐾

Austin’s smile says it ALL. 🥹💙🐾

This sweet boy had the BEST weekend exploring the world with Kayla! New smells, new people, new surroundings—and one very happy Austin. Outings like these are such an important part of rehabilitation, helping our babies build confidence, practice their training in real-world environments, and prepare for life in a forever home.

And we have to give a HUGE thank you to Kayla. 💙 Kayla generously donates her time to train, work with, and love on our rescue babies. She helps them build skills, takes them on outings, exposes them to new experiences, and gives them the individual attention they need to grow.

Having someone donate their time and talent like Kayla does helps us more than we can put into words. Every hour she gives allows us to continue providing the care, training, and rehabilitation these wonderful souls need and deserve. Kayla, thank you for being such an important part of their second chances. 🐾💙

Now there’s just one adventure left for Austin… going HOME. 🏡

Austin is still looking for his forever family! If you’re interested in fostering or adopting him, reach out to us at [email protected] or apply online at lilysrescuerehab.org

Please share and help us find Austin his person! 💙🐾
