Fort Lauderdale • Florida

Baby, a nine-year-old Border Collie mix, was found as a stray and returned to the Humane Society of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale, the same shelter from which he was adopted years ago. Despite the staff reaching out to his previous family, no one came to claim him. Baby, now a senior dog, is patiently waiting in his kennel, showing his friendly nature by wagging his tail and offering paw shakes to visitors. He is well-behaved, knows commands like'sit' and 'paw', and is fully housebroken. Baby enjoys playing tug-of-war and gets along well with other dogs, though he prefers a home without cats. The shelter staff is committed to finding Baby a permanent home and encourages interested parties to complete a pre-adoption application online before visiting him. Baby's story highlights the importance of giving senior dogs a second chance, a mission that Lily's Second Chance deeply supports. His resilience and affectionate nature make him a wonderful companion for the right family. To help Baby or other senior dogs like him, consider adopting from a shelter or fostering a senior dog. Your home could be the loving, permanent place Baby has been waiting for.
