My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This sweet boy found himself of death row at the Dallas Animal Shelter. A family stepped up to foster him and reached out to LHS for assistance finding him a forever home. Their resident pet has some resource guarding issues with Louie, but he is the passive canine in the situation, not the aggressor.

He is a perfect gentleman. Ideal for a laid-back family, seeking a loving, loyal companion who has outgrown the chewing, hyper young pup stage. He is only 8 so he still has many years to go in the more glorious part of a pet's life. He is house broken, and crate trained - but he can be trusted to have free roam of the house. He gets along great with people and pets (even cats) of all shapes and sizes.

He did test positive for heartworms and went through treatment. He is now heartworm negative and has resumed monthly heartworm prevention to keep those pesky mosquitos from coming back again. He has been neutered, brought current on all vaccinations and is microchipped.

All he needs now is you! Please complete an online application and the foster will be in touch accordingly: https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoption-application/

Age: 8 years old
Weight: 70lbs

We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.

Additional adoption info

Adopters will complete an adoption app. If he/she has a pet, we will check their vet reference and a home visit is not needed (as long as the vet reference is current). All pets must be up to date current on Heartworm prevention and S/N. If a home visit is needed, we will complete that ASAP--as we don't want any delays in the adoption process. The adoption fees are listed here: https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoption-fees/. There is a 5-day grace period to make sure he/she is a good fit for your family. A full refund will be issued if the pet is returned within the 5-day trial period. Before you chose to adopt, check out this link for a few items to consider before making this big step: https://legacyhumanesociety.org/are-you-ready-to-adopt/
