Lyonel's Story

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION.<br/><br/>To see more pictures of this dog, please visit our Facebook page and look under “photos” and then “albums”.<br/><br/>2-year-old male Chihuahua mix, about 14 pounds. *TRI-POD* Meet Lyonel — a little dog with a BIG personality! 🐾 Lyonel is absolutely bursting with character. His adorable underbite sends his teeth in every direction, giving him a permanently goofy, heart-melting smile you won’t forget. And while he can bark, he much prefers to “talk” in his own hilarious way—you truly have to hear it to believe it! <br/>A friend to everyone Lyonel loves people, plain and simple. He may give a tiny bark when greeting you (he just gets excited!), but it quickly turns into tail wags, snuggles, and sweet kisses. He’s fantastic with kids, cats, and other dogs—basically, he’s never met a stranger. Playful, resilient, and unstoppable Don’t let his missing leg fool you—Lyonel doesn’t let anything slow him down! He loves chasing balls, zooming around the yard, and playing with other dogs. He’ll even attempt to jump onto the couch (with mixed success, but lots of determination!). He runs fast, hops over obstacles, and embraces life with incredible spirit. Smart and motivated Lyonel is highly motivated by food and affection—so training him can be both fun and rewarding. He goes into his crate easily and enjoys a wide variety of treats, with no known allergies. <br/>A few things he’s still working on. He’s doing well with potty habits overall but may need a little supervision to stay on track. On leash, he can get a bit enthusiastic—pulling and spinning—so some basic obedience training would go a long way. The good news? It’s also a perfect bonding opportunity for his future family. A future therapy superstar? Many people who meet Lyonel say the same thing: he would make an amazing therapy dog. His affectionate, joyful energy is contagious, and he has a special way of making people smile. In short: Lyonel is loving, playful, a little quirky, and completely unforgettable. He’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles into someone’s life. To request an adoption application, email smidgetrescue@hotmail.com<br/><br/>Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend or private meet and greet after application review.

Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. <br/><br/>All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older.
