Prince Lionel is the kind of dog who makes a house feel like home just by being in it. This sweet senior poodle mix was surrendered to the South LA Animal Shelter when his former family felt they could no longer care for his age and medical needs. Despite all of that, Prince Lionel didn't lose his gentle spirit. In foster care, he's shown himself to be relaxed, affectionate, and wonderfully easy to live with.He's house-trained, has full roam of the home when left alone, and is perfectly content to nap and hang out until you're back. When you are home, he loves being near his person-following you from room to room, quietly settling at your feet, or soaking up gentle pets. He's friendly with familiar people and new faces alike, greeting everyone with soft eyes and a wagging tail. Walks are one of his favorite parts of the day. He's excellent on leash-no pulling, just happy sniffing and a steady pace, always checking in with whoever's holding the other end of the leash. His energy level is that ideal "middle ground": he enjoys his outings and a bit of play, then is ready to curl up and relax. Like many seniors, Prince Lionel has some medical needs: he has significant dental disease and ocular disease with possible blindness in his right eye. He handles it all with quiet dignity and a trusting heart. Prince Lionel's ideal home is one that values companionship and a calm, steady presence. If you're looking for a gentle, loving senior who will be your loyal shadow and daily comfort, this little prince is ready to devote his golden years to you. Adoption Fee: $350
