Story
Meet Oakley-The Perfect Companion Oakley is a 9-year-old purebred English Labrador with a heart of gold. My late husband and I purchased him as a new puppy, from a small breeder, and he has been the best dog anyone could ever ask for. Oakley is incredibly calm, gentle, and loving. He adores people-especially children-and is very well-behaved. He rarely barks, loves going for walks, and never turns down a belly rub. He is the kind of dog that brings peace and joy to any home. As much as it pains me, I am no longer able to give him the time and attention he deserves. I am away from home too often, and Oakley thrives on companionship. He would be happiest with a family or someone who can spend more quality time with him. If your looking for a loyal, easy-going best friend, Oakley is your guy. He deserves a home filled with love, comfort, and the company he craves. Please reach out if you or someone you know might be the right fit for Oakley

Story
This happy girl is Jasmine! Jasmine and several other dogs made their way to Brave after their breeder could "no longer care for them" and was looking to downsize their operation. Jasmine quickly figured out how great pet life can be and she immediately leaned into all of the perks. Treats? YES, PLEASE! A basket of toys? She'll play with them all! Cozy beds and snuggles? Life couldn't be better. Jasmine is extremely food motivated. She loves playing with and hoarding her toys. She loves her foster parents and spending time outside. Jasmine loves all people, but she has a special bond with other dogs. She needs to go to a home with another dog who can provide the comfort and friendship she needs. Don't have a dog? Jasmine would love to be adopted with her "sister" Ivy!  See Jasmine here: https://youtube.com/shorts/fPnxs2Nlg3Y?si=Np8FPQyYs0dQ3u7q House trained: Doing well!

Story
Buddy is such a happy-go-lucky boy! He LOVES to romp & play with dog friends, and has won over the hearts of every person who has met him. He is a tall, gorgeous boy with a striking brindle coat, and a droopy face that says "please love me forever". While he needs plenty of exercise and has the best time playing chase, he also relishes in his cuddle time on the couch. He is the perfect snuggler for chilly winter nights. We have promised him a home with a big fenced yard for him to run & play in. He will be the very best squirrel & bunny neighborhood patrol officer. Buddy will be your best valentine ever! Buddy came into rescue after spending nearly 8 months in a small, rural shelter in Missouri. His owner had been incarcerated and no one came for him. Buddy is a male Great Dane/Plott Hound who was was born approximately 12-16-18 and weighs 91 lbs. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, dewormed, tested heartworm negative and started on heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $350 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs. We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations to continue to save the lives of orphaned & abandoned pets; 100% goes towards their care.  ***If you are serious about adopting, you must first complete and submit an application on our website. Our Adoption Team will respond via email from DollysLegacyAdoptions@gmail.com once you have completed an application. If a pet is still listed, it is not yet adopted as we update daily.

MARNEE

English Bulldog

Female, Adult
Lincoln, NE
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
With a face some say "only a mother could love", our Marnee girl has more than enough personality to make up for her mug. She's got plenty of sass too, as every diva should. Dog parks? No. She has to be the boss of all the other attendees and gets sent to time out. Cats? No. She is convinced they are evil mystical beings and she's willing to remove them systematically from society. Underbite and wrinkles? Yes and yes. Lot of wrinkles and a big ol' underbite. Willing to convince every human she's the most fascinating dog who ever lived? Absolutely. All day long. She's an endearing bulldog with a short curly tail, a big heart, and a whole lot of love to give! Affectionately known as a “Cuddle-bug” and “Meatball” by her foster family, Marnee is full of charm and playful energy. She thrives in a home where she can soak up all the attention. She’s great with kids ages 10+, loves meeting new people, and does wonderfully in busy, noisy environments. Marnee enjoys leisurely strolls, though she prefers short walks over long hikes. (She’s more into couch time and companionship.) She’s housetrained and doing well with basic commands and leash skills. Ideally, she'd be happiest as the only pet in a home with someone who has experience with bully breeds. If you're in the market for a unique dog with plenty of pizazz, give this meatball a chance! Marnee is a female English Bulldog/mix who was was born approximately 4-17-20 and weighs 33 lbs and stands 16" tall. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, dewormed, tested heartworm negative and started on heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $400 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs. We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations to continue to save the lives of orphaned & abandoned pets; 100% goes towards their care. ***If you are serious about adopting, you must first complete and submit an application on our website at www.DollysLegacyAnimalRescue.org .
