Story
FOREVER FOSTER or ADOPTER WANTED:Chester is the sweetest little old man ever! It's common for aging pets to lose their vision, especially the poodle terrier type. Chester however was born blind. Chester was surrendered to our care through our Always Home program as his mom who had him for 12 years was ailing and placed into assisted care. Chester loves to be held and pet, in fact, when he hears your voice his tail wags with utter delight. He is a great eater and even likes to go for walks as long as you can help him navigate. Chester is potty trained, he likes having a little space to retreat to with a comfy bed, and he does best in a home that is minimalistic for navigation purposes. He is a really easy going dog and gets along with everyone he meets! It only takes a few minutes to complete our application at https://lionelslegacy.org/adopt/adoption-application/

Good with other dogs, likes to go for walks, likes toys, playful, rides well in the car, a great eater, fusses when he needs something but not a barker, and potty trained! He likes to be held but isn't overly needy, he does enjoy being up on the couch and bed with you if you'll allow it. He recently went for an exam, labwork, and urinalysis and he our vets let us know he's in great shape, next step, a dental! In the meantime get your app in cause this little sweetie is gonna go fast!

Story
Age: 8 years old Gender: Male Breed: Shih Tzu mix Weight: 24 lbs Personality: Yuki is wary of strangers but will warm up to people with a bit of chicken and patience on the human's side. Yuki is a mellow guy who loves to nap next to you and lounge in the sun. Yuki is content to sleep the day away near his person but is also up for playing with stuffed animals and fetching! Yuki does well on leash but is quick to warn you that strangers are nearby. He has some barrier frustration, but is generally very easy going once he has warmed up to you. He loves going for car rides and is a great passenger, although drive thru cashiers may be startled at his sudden alerting. Yuki does well with other dogs. He is polite enough to leave old grumpy dogs alone but will play with young energetic pups. He does not resource guard his person, but does show some food guarding tendencies. It would be safest to feed separately. Needs a home with no children or older children who will treat him with respect and give him space as needed. If you have some chicken and just two days of patience, you will be rewarded with so much love. Yuki is an easy dog, he is crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on leash. He is generally a gentle, mellow guy with great house manners. He has a case of stranger danger, but can be redirected when he is reacting. Yuki loves hanging out with his human, but does well when left alone. He will sleep until you return and greet you wholeheartedly. Yuki takes a little bit to warm up to his person, but once you earn his trust, you will find that no one else will look at you with as much love in their eyes as Yuki.  Education: Good with bathroom and leash training Favorite Activities: Napping, cuddling, chewing tags and eyeballs off stuffed animals, fetch, sun bathing. He's also extremely dog friendly Looking for: A sweet person or family who can give him space, be patient with him and respect/ advocate for his boundaries while he learns to trust humans. Ideally older and respectful kids are ok, and so are dogs. Adoption Fee: $ 350 ##1592807##
