My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Henry is an 8 pound bundle of energy! He's likely around 10 years old, but you'd never know it with his playfulness and a tail that never stops wagging! Henry loves other dogs!

Henry is wary of strangers and feels the need to protect himself. Once he trusts you though, he's the biggest snuggler & will be your tiny shadow. He'll even keep your toes warm by sitting on your feet whenever you're standing in the kitchen! Due to his fear aggression, he should be in a home with no children. Henry will need a human who can work with him to trust new humans with positive reinforcement.

He is potty trained, but does mark in new places. Luckily, he doesn't mind belly bands at all! Henry loves to go on walks & run around with other dogs. He recently had a dental and was neutered. He's up to date on shots & flea and tick prevention. To meet Henry, fill out an application at https://lionelslegacy.org/adopt/adoption-application/

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.

Lionel's Legacy- Saving ONE senior dog at a time and educating MANY young minds to leave a legacy of compassion and advocacy!
