Wow, it's absolutely amazing that an incredible gentle giant like Jemma could even end up in a shelter. She was clearly in a home where she was loved. She showed behaviors that indicated she was comfortable around all kinds of people, kids, and other animals, she has the most trusting and loving gentle nature. She sadly ended up in the shelter and was underweight with what they believed to be mammary masses, turns out she recently had pups and had mastitis that caused inflamed and infected mammary ducts and tissue.
Jemma is on the mend, she has been spayed, is gaining weight, and enjoying the good life in her foster home with friends. We are looking for a family with Dane experience who understands the size and needs of the breed. Although the shelter said she was about 5 or 6 we believe she is quite a bit younger, maybe 3-4 yrs old instead. We can't say enough about this incredible girl!

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.
