About Lily’s Second Chance
Lily's Second Chance is a Tennessee nonprofit corporation founded in memory of Lily, a senior dog adopted at age 10 who gave seven unforgettable years of love. Founded by Sam Darraj, it lists adoptable senior dogs from shelters and rescues across the United States and works to make sure older dogs — the ones most often overlooked — get noticed before they run out of time. It is not a shelter and does not rehome dogs directly; every listing links back to the shelter or rescue caring for the dog.
