Story
Meet Meatball! This silly boy transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society. Meatball was a stray found in rough condition. He is currently on our weight gain program while we work to get him back in tip-top shape. He is a goofy boy who certainly prefers humans over dogs and would love nothing more than to have a loving and doting new family! Health considerations: Meatball has corneal scarring on his left eye, a small but permanent scar indicative of an old untreated injury. This doesn't affect his eyesight. He is recovering from a skin infection and is receiving weekly medicated baths, medicated wipes, and medications to address this issue. He is also on medication to treat his severe ear infection. A full recovery is expected. Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This 15 year old gem was rescued from the shelter as her family could no longer care for her. She was in remarkably good shape for her age. Her body did not show the typical signs of long term neglect. Her eyes are clear and bright and free of scarring. She does not even have the dry eye that so many get. It appears she had a pedicure recently. Nora's ears were clean and free of infection. Nora did fabulous for her dental and only had a handful of teeth pulled. It appeared she had a dental prior to rescue.Nora was clearly loved. True to her pug nature she is friendly, loyal and has bonded with the foster family. The highlight of her day is spending time in the sun. There are three blind pugs in her foster home which at times she finds annoying. She likes to be the fun police when they get too close or are too active. In light of her advanced age Nora is looking for a pug fam who will understand that the rest of her days should be filled with kindness and lots of really good treats! IF you are looking for a diamond in the rough the Nora is your gal!Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Story
Meet Pudge! From the streets of Mexico to condo life, this almost-one-year-old, 30 lb Puggle mix is living proof that rescue dogs have the best comeback stories. 💚 Pudge is a total ham who has quickly mastered indoor living. Here is why you’ll fall in love: House Trained & Routine Savvy: He has his potty routine down, walks like a champ on the leash, and sleeps soundly in his crate at night. Playful Yet Chilled: He loves a good game of fetch, but he’s just as happy lounging around while you work or relax. Dog Friendly: He loves the company of other dogs and enjoys social time. Pudge has done great meeting kids in passing, though he hasn't lived with them or cats yet. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, adaptable buddy to complete your family, Pudge is your guy!
