Meet Lionel, our delightful 3 year old Chiweenie bursting with love and charm!

Originally rescued by ACGAS in February 2024, Lionel enjoyed a cozy home life for 10 months after being rehomed in May 2024. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances involving a child, it was decided that Lionel would benefit from returning to the sanctuary, to be given a 2nd chance in finding his perfect forever home.

This sweet boy is known for his clingy and affectionate nature. He thrives on human companionship and is always eager to announce his presence with his delightful vocalizations. With a big personality packed into his small frame, Lionel is sure to bring joy and laughter to your life!

Lionel is a playful pup at heart, with a penchant for de-stuffing cuddly toys. His youthful, puppy-like demeanour will keep you entertained and engaged. However, it’s important to note that Lionel prefers to be the only pet in the household, as he cannot live with other dogs or cats. 

We’re seeking dog-savvy owners who have an adult-only household, as Lionel would thrive best in a calm and loving environment where he can be showered with attention and care. 

 

If you’re ready to give this lovable boy the second chance he deserves, Lionel is eagerly waiting for you! Open your heart and home to him and discover the wonderful companion he can be.
