This morning we were with Lionel’s Legacy, generously hosted by Dexter’s Deli in Del Mar, California. Make sure to like them on facebook at www.facebook.com/dextersdeli.
Lionel’s Legacy is a foster based, senior dog rescue that not only takes in older dogs in need of loving homes, but also provides assistance to families of aging pets in need of costly medical care. So who is Lionel, you ask? Lionel was a 15 year old Pit Bull mix that inspired what is now known as Lionel’s Legacy. Lionel was in poor shape both medically and psychologically when he was brought into foster from a Los Angeles Animal Shelter.
From there, Lionel inspired a passion for rescuing senior pets in the area as well as providing assistance to owners who may be overwhelmed with increasing costs and care as the pets they love inevitably age.
Jordan’s Way was honored to host a fundraiser for this incredible organization. At today’s fundraiser, we held a couple of challenges that we haven’t seen before! Participants had to brush their teeth with DOG toothpaste! Yuck! We also held a baby food eating competition!
We always love when the community shows up to rally around their local shelters and rescues. In this case, a Lionel’s Legacy adoption alumni showed up to donate $100! A local class of 2nd graders also provided some beautiful artwork for the event. SO sweet! What a generous display of support for this amazing rescue.
Cookie is a sweet Yorkie Mix who played camera time with Kris. Cookie is 10 years old and looking for her forever home. If you’re interested in adopting Cookie, go to www.lionelslegacy.org/adopt/ to learn more.
Some challenges are just as good no matter how many times you watch them. This is true for the slime bucket challenge because the slime is a little bit different at each shelter or rescue we visit! Laura and Kelly fell victim to the slime bucket challenge today!
