Story
Daisy is very sweet 3 year old Maltipoo. She is a little insecure, but every day she’s gaining more confidence. Gets very excited when it’s time to eat and runs into her crate to wait for her food. She is now fully potty trained. She finally started approaching other dogs to play and no longer cowers when you try to pet her. She will welcome belly rubs as much as possible. Very chill and intuitive and loves my 92 year old mom. She would be great for an older person/couple. Apply today at DMDR.org.

Story
Forever foster or adopter wanted! Pepper joined us from OC Animal care and was heavily neglected. He had an ulcerated mass removed, had spiders and other insects crawling out of his matted fur during grooming, and has dry eye. He has a few other masses, we are evaluating whether one large one can be removed. Due to his age and medical condition we are seeking a FORVER FOSTER for him in San Diego or Orange County. Thats means Lionel's Legacy will cover his medical care for life through our participating vets.Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Story
Skye is a calm and loving dog. She enjoys cuddles and attention. She makes a great companion. She’s an indoor dog who has been potty trained to go on pads but will also go outside if you take her out. I would prefer her to go to someone who has no dogs or cats since she likes being the only pet. She’s not the greatest with younger kids but she does good with 12+ years old. I just want her to go to someone who will be able to give her all the love and sty she deserves. I am sad to have to rehome her but I can no longer keep her since I am moving.
