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
Meet Binn Binn is a 5-year-old Maltese mix, weighing about 10 pounds, with the gentlest soul. He was found after being dumped in an industrial area, confused and alone—but despite what he’s been through, he remains incredibly sweet and loving. He is a bit shy at first and takes a minute to feel comfortable, but once he knows he’s safe, his affectionate side shines through. He does well with other dogs and cats and would thrive in a patient, calm home that allows him to build trust at his own pace. He is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccines, and ready to start the next chapter of his life in a forever home. Adoption fee: $450. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who just needs a little time—and a lot of love—Binn may be your perfect match. https://www.instagram.com/p/DUFL5U1ETXf/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== ##2654166##

Story
Chrome entered Riverside Department of Animal Services as a stray, and sadly, no one came to claim him. He is estimated to be 10 years old, weighs 12.4 lbs., and is very sweet. He loves pets and snuggles and is great with other dogs and cats, too. This cutie pie is a gem! Chrome went on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we could learn more about him while he received lots of TLC in the comfort of a home. Here's what we learned from his foster family: "Chrome is very mellow all the time. He is friendly and comes up to strangers to ask for pets. He loves couch cuddles. We have a cat, and he had absolutely zero issues with it. He doesn't follow the cat or try to chase it. He also isn't interested in the litter boxes at all. Chrome enjoys walks around the block and is a pretty fast walker despite his past back leg injury. During walks, he passes other dogs without needing to stop and say hello. He never barks when other dogs are barking. When he gets tired, he loves to hang out in the stroller. A day in the life with Chrome was eating breakfast and going on a walk around the block. Coming back to nap and hang out for the day with a few walks in between. Finish the day with a good bowl of dinner and some couch cuddles before bedtime. He sleeps throughout the night without needing to go out." If you’re looking for a calm, loving, and easygoing best friend, Chrome might just be your perfect match!

Falco is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we can learn more about him while he receives lots of love in the calmness and comfort of a home. Check back soon for an update on how he is doing!
