Our Mission
Every animal deserves a loving home
Many reasons can lead a senior dog to end up at a shelter. Maybe their owners could not pay for their medical care or felt they could no longer care for their pets. Here at Lionel’s Legacy, a Senior Dog Rescue, we aim to help aging beloved pets stay with their families through our community of resources.

Success Story
Beasley
Beasley was in rough shape when he joined us. He needed a lot of medical care, and thanks to time, love, and patience Beasley grew some confidence wings and was able to join a new family. It’s great to have families who really want to help make a difference for the ones that need it most! We’re so lucky to have families taking on foster dogs who need TLC the most.
Foster A Pet
If you can't adopt, you can foster
Occasionally, some of our senior sweethearts come to Lionel’s Legacy with terminal illnesses or develop age-related medical conditions while in our care. For these seniors, our foster families commit to a lifetime of love and care no matter how long they have left.
Lionel’s Legacy will continue to provide food, supplies, and medical for each senior dog while the furever foster families dedicate their lives to helping our senior sweethearts feel like a member of the family.

It takes a team to care for our senior pets, whether it’s lab work, teeth cleaning, medications, or food. We want to make sure our seniors are treated and cared for before sending them off to their new forever families.
Help us reach our goal of helping homeless senior dogs!
