My story

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

Nacho was impounded at the shelter along with a dozen plus cats and another dog. He sat at the shelter for weeks waiting for someone to adopt him. Unfortunately he was overlooked and became depressed. When people are looking to adopt animals from shelters in most circumstances they are walking right past senior pets and if your black that's a double whammy. Nacho is such a lovely chap who is good with everyone, he is in a foster home with other dogs and people and is so chill and happy to be in a home. He is working his way up to taking longer walks to rebuild his leg muscles after lingering in the shelter kennel. Did we tell you Nacho is a petite Lab at only 46 lbs.?

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!
