My story

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

Come meet me and 100+ of my adoptable friends at Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue's MEGA adoption event, Home for the Holidays! Saturday, November 23rd, 2024 at Woodbridge High School (1 Samuel Lupo Pl, Woodbridge, NJ 07095) from 11am - 3pm.

Meet Skipper! Skipper is a 4 month old, 10 pound Jack Russell mix, who enjoys as much affection and cuddles as you can give.

Skipper is extremely social and will befriend any people or dogs. He will easily fit into any family. He is crate trained and going through basic puppy training now. Basic leash walking, sit and stay are all being worked on. He is a fast learner (was too excited when being let out of the crate but by simply pausing until he settled down and sat, and then resuming, he understands he is supposed to be calm). He benefits from a kong to slow down his eating. A variety of chew toys for puppies has prevented unwanted chewing on furniture.

Him greeting you with his tail and entire body wiggling with happiness will melt your heart and will change a bad day instantly. If you like cuddly little bundles of joy, this may be a perfect match.

Skipper is currently being fostered in Queens, New York The adoption fee for this animal is $500.

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.
