🚨 ADOPTION ALERT: ONE (1) PROFESSIONAL CUDDLER SEEKING FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT 🚨 🌟 Meet Sadie 🌟 AKA: Sweet Angel. Chaos Mutt. Your Future Shadow. Sadie is a super sweet, affectionate super mutt made up of mostly Chihuahua… plus dachshund, poodle, minpin… and whatever else the universe felt like sprinkling in that day. At 25 lbs, she’s the perfect size: big enough for adventures, small enough to steal your spot on the couch. ✔️ Loves other dogs ✔️ Friendly with men & women ✔️ Potty trained (because she’s a lady) ✔️ Walks well on a leash ✔️ Enjoys car rides, swimming, and pretending she’s the main character When she’s not busy living her best life, Sadie specializes in elite-level cuddling. She prefers to be: • on your lap • by your feet • pressed directly against you • or all of the above at once Personal space? She’s never heard of her. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to move into her forever home immediately. Kids and cats haven’t been tested yet, but she’s gentle, loving, and eager to please — basically a gold star student. ⚠️ Warning: Adopting Sadie may result in excessive affection, constant companionship, and wondering how you ever lived without her. 💛 Apply to adopt Sadie — your couch (and heart) will thank you.

Stewart Little We learned that he is initially afraid of small children and takes some time to get comfortable with them. He’s not aggressive at all. He sleeps in his crate at night and will also sleep in a bed on the bedroom floor. He doesn’t try to sneak up on your bed at night. He’s friendly with other dogs.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Don’t let the little white hairs fool you—this adorable black pup is just pretending to be a wise old senior. In reality, they’re still learning the ropes of senior life and blossoming beautifully in our care.When they first arrived, Brooks was a bit shy and unsure, but with a little patience (and a lot of belly rubs), he's transformed into a cuddle bug extraordinaire. His favorite hobbies now include snuggling up for naps, politely requesting ear scratches, and giving you those big “you’re my favorite human” eyes.He may look like he's seen it all, but really, he's just getting started on this whole “senior sweetness” thing—and trust us, he's nailing it. 💕If you’re looking for a lovable, pint-sized companion who’s equal parts charming and snuggly, Brooks would be delighted to audition for the role of your new best friend.Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Peanut

Chihuahua

Male, 12 yrs 3 mos
Lakeside, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Peanut is a sweet little gentleman who will capture your heart with his always-wagging tail. He is very chill, and currently lives peacefully with other small senior dogs. He goes outside to do his business and wears a belly band at night in case he needs to go while his human is sleeping. Peanut loves food more than anything else and has adapted well to his new diet of soft food after recently having all his teeth removed. Like a true Chihuahua, his favorite spot is in the sun or under a blanket on a soft bed. He also loves to be on the couch with you if allowed. He rarely barks and loves going on short walks. Peanut would be the perfect companion for someone who wants to relax and enjoy the good life.Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org
