***FOREVER FOSTER OR ADOPTER WANTED*** Sydney is quite possibly one of the best German Shepherds we've ever met. His name really should be LOVERBOY! He is great with dogs and people of all sizes. He is a social butterfly that is longing to be part of a family. He is happy to lay on your lap and be pet or join you for a walk. He is a sweet soul that is looking for someone to love and trust for the rest of his life. He is potty trained and kennel trained, and is overall a gentleman. He gets excited at first when meeting new dog friends but it comes from a place of pure joy and he settles down after a few minutes. Although Sydney joined us unable to use his back legs, he is now walking and even sometimes running around the yard! He's a delight and whoever gives Sydney a home will be graced with a loyal and kind creature who will appreciate you every day!

More about this rescue
Lionel's Legacy is a San Diego based senior dog rescue and elementary humane education program. We provide a last chance for senior dogs entering the shelter systems in both San Diego and Los Angeles. We solely rely on fosters to care for our seniors temporarily while looking for their furever home or as permanent hospice fosters when the need arises.
We also believe in early education as a means of preventing pet overpopulation. As a second grade teacher at Central elementary in San Diego, I see first hand the difference educating our brilliant young minds can make.
