My story

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

Meet Duke!
Duke is a 5-year-old, 55-lb, 100% Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue Heeler) who loves being a shadow dog and would make an incredibly loyal friend!

Duke is a certainly a Heeler! He is incredibly smart and can solve dog toy puzzles in record time. He is fun to train and catches on quickly to new skills. Duke is crate trained, completely house trained and knows how to "place on a cot. He would love the opportunity to learn even more tricks and useful skills! Along with his intelligence comes a wariness of new people. Duke needs lots of time to warm up to strangers and does best when new people give him the space that he needs. Duke's loyalty to his people can manifest in being protective when strangers are around. Duke will need to be adopted into a home without children as young kids do not always understand his boundaries.

Duke loves going for walks and checking out his environment. He is still learning how to be polite when cars and bicycles pass by, but he could certainly improve in this area with more practice! He would love to have a yard with a fence where he could run around and exert some energy. His favorite game is fetch, and he is impressively agile at catching the ball!
If you're looking for a smart, loyal dog that can be high-energy when you want an adventure buddy but also loves to chill when the time comes, Duke may be your perfect match!

Duke is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. His adoption fee is $275.

To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

More about this rescue

Louie’s Legacy Animal Rescue, Inc., non-profit and no kill, aims to alleviate the suffering of abandoned shelter animals by rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming them within our community.

We are proudly foster-based, meaning our animals live in homes, not shelters. This differentiates us and allows us to more thoroughly get to know our animals, ensuring they are matched with suitable, screened adoptive homes which meet our high standards.

As part of our commitment to the health and well-being of all of our animals and to reduce pet overpopulation in our community, every pet is spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

We are committed to ensuring the safety of our animals for their entire lifetimes so that they will never suffer abuse, neglect or abandonment again.
