Welcome to the family, Leonard Lime Steines! This season has given us so much to be grateful for. After fostering Lenny for four weeks, weβve decided to make things official and welcome him as a permanent member of our family.β¦

My hope is to train him to become a registered therapy dog so he can bring comfort and joy to othersβjust like our angel Norbert did for over a decade. Lenny has already proven heβs a natural in front of the camera, and Iβd love for you to follow his journey.

He volunteered much time with people in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and special events. He donated his many books and his plush toys to spread joy. Norbert knew we each have special gifts to share to help each other.

At only 3 pounds, he showed us all the importance of making others smile. He lived his belief that you donβt have to be big to make a BIG difference in the world. As a registered therapy dog, Norbert fulfilled his beautiful mission to bring kindness and comfort to those in need.

It was the honor of a lifetime to be entrusted to oversee his time here on earth. As a unique mixed-breed adopted dogβ the only pup in his litter, he was a champion for pet adoption. Adopting him forever changed my life for the better in unimaginable ways.
