Story
My sister was recently hospitalized and is receiving Hospice care. She lives with her two small (<20 lbs) Poodle-mix dogs who are 8 years old. She taken taken loving care of them, and, once they know you, they respond well to human interaction. The dogs are described as sweet and fairly mellow. They will back if someone knocks on the door but are generally calm. I am hoping to find a loving home for them similar to the love and care they have been receiving from my sister.

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

Meet Orion! DOB: October 2022Weight: 18 lbsDisposition: Coy, Low-key, Observant Heavily matted and dirty when found, this poor boy had to be so uncomfortable with his knotted coat pulling at his skin.

We took him to the groomer after allowing him to get settled in for a few days and this little guy is like a new man! He's enjoying pets and a compliant little guy.History: Exposed to parvo in the shelter and as a result at risk of euthanasia. Rescued by TBL in October 2025.Best Home: Amazing Qualities: If you're interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptOur dogs are located in San Diego County, CA.
