Story
Meet Charlie. Charlie is a 2-year-old, 13-pound Maltipoo with the softest curls and a very sensitive heart. He was found abandoned in the desert and has spent the last three months learning how to feel safe again. Charlie is extremely fearful of people—especially men. He is not aggressive at all. When he’s scared, he freezes or hides. What he needs most is patience, gentleness, and time. His safe place is the sofa, where he’ll accept soft pets and show his sweet, hopeful side. Underneath his fear is a loving, loyal little dog who just needs the right environment to blossom. Charlie must go to a calm, older female owner. • No men • No children • Quiet home • Another friendly dog is required He thrives with other dogs and gains confidence from them. Charlie doesn’t need to be “fixed”—he needs to be understood. He survived the desert. Now he deserves a soft place to land. Please share to help Charlie find the gentle woman he’s been waiting for.

Story
Alonzo is a very sweet, well mannered, upstanding senior citizen. He is perfectly house trained and walks like an angel on a leash. He is seeing impaired but he doesn’t let that stop him from enjoying life. He is non reactive with dogs and has zero issues with other dogs even when he has a high value treat like a bully stick. He gets along well with his foster brother. I would guess he is also fine with cats, though the opportunity hasn’t presented itself. He enjoys cuddling on the couch and sleeps at the foot of the bed. He does not care for crates but enjoys his dog bed. At the moment, he is experiences some separation anxiety, which presents as barking and pacing. We are working through this, as he is adjusting from the shelter to his new home and learning our routine.Overall he is fantastic and easy to love!Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Story
Jaymes is a 4/5-year-old Poodle/Shih Tzu mix weighing about 11 pounds with a heart as big as his smile. He was cruelly dumped in the middle of nowhere, but thanks to rescue, he’s now safe, fully vetted, and ready to find the loving forever home he deserves. When Jaymes was found, he was found to have an underdeveloped eye with no vision.  The vet thought it best to clean the area up and sew the opening.  He looks adorable and is doing great! Jaymes is very sweet and friendly, loves people, and does great with other dogs. He’s the kind of little guy who fits easily into family life—happy to cuddle, happy to play, and happy just to be loved. He is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccines. Adoption fee: $450 If you’re looking for a small, affectionate companion with a resilient spirit and a joyful personality, Jaymes is ready to meet you. ##2661885##
