My name is Leeuwenhoek!

**Leeuwenhoek** is a 1-year-old Shepherd mix and the perfect medium-sized dog at 40-45 pounds. He made his way into rescue from a high-intake shelter after requiring a back leg amputation. Since his surgery, this resilient pup has been recovering beautifully in a foster home, adjusting to life as a tripod like a champ.

Currently fostered in a single-story home, Leeuwenhoek hasn’t yet had exposure to stairs but has adapted wonderfully to his new mobility. He is doing great in his crate and has had only a couple of accidents, as he primarily uses the restroom outside.

Leeuwenhoek is fostered with dogs ranging from 20 to 60 pounds and gets along with all of them. He loves to play in the yard, joyfully trotting around, but he’s just as happy curling up on his favorite dog bed for a nap.

This amazing pup is looking for a loving home that will appreciate his playful spirit and remarkable resilience.

Leeuwenhoek is fostered in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. His adoption fee is $275.00.

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.
