Story
Meet Earl — 10 pounds of pure “hold my treat, I got this” energy. 🐾🔥 At 15 months old, he’s basically a toddler with fur: curious, adorable, and occasionally chaotic. This little dude is a pro-level cuddler. If you sit down, Earl will be in your lap before your brain can even process the moment. Snuggle ambush unlocked. 💥❤️ He’s also a tiny athlete. Walks? Yes. Playtime? Double yes. Mental stimulation? Triple yes with a side of zoomies. 🏃‍♂️💨 Potty training? We’ll call it “a work in progress.” Earl is trying, okay? He just needs a human who believes in him… and maybe a reminder or two. Or ten. 😂🚽✨ If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart and even bigger personality, Earl’s your guy. 💛🐶

Story
Snuggles, this adorable low rider, is quite the dog. She may look sweet and quiet (and usually is) but she is a sneak. She loves to chase cats, but gets over it once they whop her nose. She enjoys taking her brother's toys and snacks, which he seems oblivious to. They will take turns attempting to play catch (when they feel like it) with their toy squirrel. Snugs loves to be held, as well as car rides. She's not quite a lap dog because she has to initiate the love, but she will always be super excited to see her favorite people. She starts off a bit shy and wary but can warm up quickly when she feels safe, loved. Just a caution, her poor back leg joints do hurt her a bit so try not to grab her there. She doesn't become aggressive but you can tell she doesn't like having that area touched.Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Story
This 5 yr old stud muffin is a complex little fellow. He nailed housetraining within 3 days, but came from a home where he used pee pads and will use them if available. He is a true lady's man and will bark at men and visitors. He is currently rooming with 7 senior dogs. He seems a bit indifferent to them so he could likely be happy in a home with or without canine companions, however a playmate with similar energy to his would be a bonus. He has had a few instances of resource guarding, primarily his human. He is a classic wiener in every sense, equipped with every quirk Dachshund lovers know all to well. He is torpedo fast and enjoys turbo speed zoomies around the yard and playing fetch. He is terrified of being on leash. He is fearful of wheels, cars, bikes, skateboards. We are hopeful he overcomes his fearful tendencies. He rides well but apprehensive in the car. He is a great eater. A backyard is an absolute must have for this little bundle of chocolatey sweetness.Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Zeus is a lovely 10yr old dachshund mix with a wonderfully cuddly temperament.

They can even share food on a dish. He likes to play with a tennis ball and loves squeaky toys. He loves the park and he does well with the kids there that want to pet or walk him. He LOVES going in the car. He has always slept through the night. He has a wonderful appetite and loves his treats. When walking, he likes meeting other dogs in the complex. He would benefit from a home that has a backyard so he can go out whenever he needs to.Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Story
These little rascals were born at the very end of November 2025, so they are just now ready for their forever homes. Their mom weighs about 22 pounds, and you can see from these puppies that they too will stay small. They’ve been very much hand raised, so they’re very social, attentive, friendly, and outgoing. Not to mention, cutie than darn bugs! They’ve been around kitties and other dogs – even a big hundred-pound Anatolian Shepherd dog. They’ve been loved, healthy, and handled since they were born, so they’re already extremely social. They are attentive, affectionate, mellow, loving, quiet, playful, and goofy; they’re perky, alert, happy, and very smart! And believe it or not, they look like tiny Labrador Retrievers! They’ve also already been around small children – a two-year-old and a six-year-old. These are gentle and loving little dolls who are already crate trained and well on their way to being house broken! There’s not a lot I can say about puppies other than I think any one of them will make a wonderful little buddy for you and your family. I’m a firm believer in a sleepover, so you can always take a puppy home to make sure it’s a good match. I want you to be happy and the puppy to be happy and then I can be happy! Of course, their adoption covers their spay or neuter, all of their three baby DA2PPv’s, their Bordatella inoculation, and their rabies shot. They are perfectly healthy, happy, silly little guys. I am a firm believer is having potential adopters take a pup home for a “sleepover” to see how your family, your other pets, and your new best buddy all get along. We always take our rascals back if it isn’t a good fit. Please call 858-602-2061 or email findabestbuddy@gmail.com for more information about all our wonderful adoptable best buddies!
