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.

Meet Alpine! She is around 1 to 2 years old and we believe she is a Dachshund and Terrier mix. She is long and low to the ground with short black fur with cookies and cream coloration on her chest. Alpine is a very sweet girl who recently finished caring for her puppies. She is good with other dogs and has a gentle heart. She is happy to lay peacefully on the couch and gives the cutest tail wags when her people come close to say hi. She is housetrained and walks well on leash.

Story
7-year-old Rhode Island and his brother Connecticut came to us from the San Diego Humane Society on November 24th, and they are precious. It's clear these cuddly boys have known a home and a couch, as they sure do know how to snuggle and ask for belly rubs. And just try not to smile while watching the video of them walking together - could they be any cuter? Given Rhode Island and Connecticut's sweet bond, we would love for them to be adopted together. However, what is most important is for them to have a loving forever home, whether together or separately. To see how the boys do without the other, they are both currently on two-week Frosted Flings with different foster families. Rhode Island's foster mom reports: "We are having such a fun time Flinging with Rhode Island! He seems to be doing great here without his buddy. He’s getting along well with our cats and loves being pet and eating treats. Rhode Island is just so easy to love! He has the most precious baby face and personality. His floppy ears remind me of “Roo”, from Winnie the Pooh, I’ve started using it as a nickname. He does great walking on leash and seems to prefer to walk on the sidewalk or street, instead of in grass. At this point, he is not interested in spending time in our backyard. Rhode Island does the biggest leg-body stretches, it’s so cute. I keep asking him how a gentleman with such little legs has such big leg stretchies!" Check back for future updates! To meet Rhode Island, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
