My story

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

FOREVER FOSTER or ADOPTER WANTED:

Chester is the sweetest little old man ever! It's common for aging pets to lose their vision, especially the poodle terrier type. Chester however was born blind. Chester was surrendered to our care through our Always Home program as his mom who had him for 12 years was ailing and placed into assisted care. Chester loves to be held and pet, in fact, when he hears your voice his tail wags with utter delight. He is a great eater and even likes to go for walks as long as you can help him navigate. Chester is potty trained, he likes having a little space to retreat to with a comfy bed, and he does best in a home that is minimalistic for navigation purposes. He is a really easy going dog and gets along with everyone he meets! It only takes a few minutes to complete our 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!
