Story
Sky was purchased from a pet store. She is 8 years old. Sky is a very independent and relaxed dog. She is house trained, but will have accidents if left alone too long. She has never been crate trained. She sleeps in bed with me at the foot of the bed. She is very kind, never once showed any aggression towards a person. She is a little skiddish around large groups of people and will typically hide when this occurs. She sits at my feet when im relaxing watching tv. She is not much of a barker unless she is extremely excited or see another dog outside (which excites her). She knows a few tricks when offered treats and is just an amazing dog. The only reason I am giving her up is because I need to be mobile at a moments notice due to the health of a family member. I will be very picky as to who takes her, because she is my world and I want to make sure she is being given to another family that will love her and treat her just as I have. She deserves nothing less.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Toto!I am a ~3 year old Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon mix.  I am a sweet boy, UTD, neutered, and completely house trained!!  The vet says I weigh 17.9 pounds.  I love to learn and I am quite smart.  My foster Mom says I'm easy to train and I have learned to sit and stay in the short time I have been with her.I walk well on a leash, but would LOVE a fenced yard to play in.  I am a big fan of playing fetch so it would be fun to have somebody to play with.  I get along with kids, dogs and cats.I will try to guard my home and family. Once I see that strangers are OK, I warm up to them.If you think I would be a great friend and companion for you and your family, please fill out an application to adopt me.Love,TotoAdoption fee:  $300Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 28, 2024, 2:25 pm

Story
Meet Russell! Russell is an almost 12 year old shihtzu. He is your classic old man, a very lazy guy who can be a bit grumpy, but is harmless (and toothless).    Russell has some senior guy medical issues. He does have a heart murmur that requires 3 pills a day, so he’ll need someone that can afford his medications and keep up with the occasional echocardiogram to check on his heart. He is also a very picky eater with a sensitive stomach, not uncommon of a guy his age, and it’s hard to find things he likes to keep weight on him. He is still underweight.    Despite his quirks, Russell is a sweet gentleman and foster mom loves him to pieces. To his person, he is as loyal as they come. He will follow you everywhere. He doesn’t love cuddles but he loves to stay close to you. He would prefer a low key, quiet home where he can nap without much interruption. He isn’t a good fit for rowdy dogs or small children. Russell doesn’t need much attention but he prefers to be around his person all the time. His perfect situation would be a very relaxed home where his person can be home with him most of the time. He deserves to be loved and adored for all the time he has left.November 1, 2024, 8:20 pm

Story
Are you looking for a high energy, silly guy to be your shadow? Gerald is your man! He is go-go-go and smooch-smooch-smooch. Loves toys and belly rubs and zoomies with friends. Hard to find his “off” button and could use some work on manners and potty training, but this youthful silly goose on the loose is totally worth it! Gerald is a 6 year old, recently neutered male shih tzu mix. Whatever his mix is, it made him leggy and he has an adorable underbite that makes his bottom canines pop out. He has a few teeth missing, so his tongue is often sticking out just a bit. November 1, 2024, 8:20 pm

Story
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Bandito - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hey all you fabulous folks out there, I'm here in search of a home, a family...one I can say is ALL mine!! Since you're reading this, I'm hoping it could be with YOU!! I am around 4 years old and came from a situation with some other pups where our living situation wasn't very good. I am so appreciative of all the little things that most dogs take for granted. A kind word, a gentle pet, a soft bed, some tasty treats!! I am so very loving, coming for some pets every chance I get and my favorites are ear scratches and belly rubs. I haven't had much experience with this big ole world but I've been doing better with encountering new things (I might need a minute but I get there). I would probably do best in a quieter home where my person(s) work from home or are retired. I do have some cataracts developing and would benefit from having surgery. I can see but sometimes maybe not all that clearly. I do great with people once I get to know them but would probably do best in a home with just older kiddos. I do wonderfully with the other dogs in my foster home from big to smaller and also the resident kitty. And I'm also crate and house trained! I get so excited to see you when you get home even if it was just to get the mail!! I don't really play too much with toys but I do love snuggling on a soft blanket! I will also be your lil shadow, following wherever you go...that lil heartbeat at your feet! If you would like a BFF to help you with your errand runs, a constant in your life to share in your joys and sorrows, a cohort to sneak off exploring some nature trails...oh my, I AM your boy!!!! I come in at about 19lbs of pure love ready to unleash it ALL on you. If you think we could be a perfect match please stop scrolling and fill out my adoption application. You can find it at haydudeequine.org

Story
Meet Emilia, a sweet and loving seven-year-old, 15lb Shih Tzu who has been rescued from a life of breeding in a puppy mill. The hardships she endured are evident on her precious face, but Emilia's spirit remains unbroken. She is ready to leave her past behind and spend her best days in a home filled with love and care. Emilia will need some help with leash walking and potty training, but she gets along great with dogs of all sizes. This resilient girl is ready to receive all the love she deserves and give plenty of affection in return. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion, Emilia is waiting to meet you! Emilia is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. Her adoption fee is $450.00. 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.
