Story
Matawan, NJ. Just look at this precious little Shih Tzu girl.'s sweet face She had an extremely traumatic experience that left one of her eyes hanging out of the socket by the muscle. It was horrendous, but the good news is........ After emergency surgery at an after-hours emergency vet clinic, she has recovered amazingly well and is now ready for adoption in NJ. She was so strong and such a little trooper through it all.. She is the absolute sweetest little angel, happy, extremely well behaved and house trained. You could not get a more wonderful addition to your family if you are wanting to adopt. She will need to be placed in an adult only home with possibly one small, docile dog. We do not want anything to happen to her remaining eye so we must be extra cautious in her placement/home environment. If you are interested in applying to adopt this ANGEL, please read the additional information below. All potential adopters must fill out applications and be approved before meeting the pet they are interested in adopting. To adopt one of the precious lives that we have saved, this rescue requires an approved application, a suitable home environment, a signed adoption contract, and an adoption fee. If approved to adopt, we expect applicants to pick up their new pets in person at the pet's foster location. Thank you for understanding that these dogs' welfare and quality of life, for the rest of their life, is our top priority and why we must be extremely diligent in their placement.

Story
Meet Baby Valentine! This adorable Shih Tzu mix was named because he was surrendered on Valentine’s Day. Despite inheriting seizures from his dad, Baby Valentine is too busy being the happiest pup to notice! Baby Valentine needs to take his meds every day (one of them every eight hours—yes, he has a schedule!), but don’t worry—they're very inexpensive. He’s used to taking them without fuss and goes right back to playing with every toy he can find and running around with his foster sister, trying to show her that he’s just as big and brave as she is! He needs a special human who can keep up with his meds routine. Baby Valentine is a ball of energy who loves everyone and everything! Now, he’s looking for his forever home. Baby Valentine gets along great with other dogs, though he hasn't been tested with cats yet. He’s doing really well with leash training and is already pee pad trained. Plus, he’s getting the hang of using the bathroom outside. At only about 10 lbs, he’s a small pup who won’t grow much bigger. Baby Valentine loves car rides and enjoys going everywhere with his foster mom. If you’re looking for a buddy who will shower you with love every time he sees you, whether it’s been a minute or 5 hours, Baby Valentine is the one! Interested in adopting Valentine? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.   November 4, 2024, 8:29 pm

Story
Meet Bourbon! He’s a shih tzu mix (mom is a shih tzu, dad is a schnauzer) who was surrendered from a backyard breeder due to seizures. He takes inexpensive medication four times a day, but he’s not happy about it, so his foster mom continuously comes up with new ways to get him to take it. He’s doing great in his foster home with other small dogs. He’s a 6 pound ball of energy who loves to play, but he will also snuggle up on his foster mom’s lap. He loves toys!! He’s only had one seizure in the 6 weeks we’ve had him, because his meds needed adjusting. He hasn’t had any issues since. Interested in adopting Bourbon? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application. November 4, 2024, 8:29 pm

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 Otis! Otis is a lovable 12-year-old terrier with a heart of gold. This sweet senior may show a little bit of his age, but what he lacks in energy, he more than makes up for in affection and loyalty. Otis is the ideal companion for someone seeking a calm and gentle friend to share their home with. He enjoys the simple pleasure of being by your side. Otis thrives on companionship and would love nothing more than to spend his days surrounded by love and comfort. He's looking for a kind-hearted individual or family who can provide him with a warm environment where he can enjoy his golden years to the fullest. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet boy, Otis is eager to share his love and gratitude with you. Come meet him today, and discover what a wonderful companion he can be! Otis is being fostered in Staten Island. His adoption fee is $325. 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.

Story
Teddy is very friendly 3.5 year old Shih Tzu. He loves everyone. He only eats dry dog food. Other human foods like steak will give him diarrhea. He can be a bit anxious. He is not the best at riding in cars. He cannot go on long car rides. We just moved to a brand new house. He had a couple accidents. We are busy with 2 young kids. Teddy loves to play with other dogs. He used to go to a very nice doggy day care. And is well socialized. We got him as a baby. And he’s been with us for 3.5 years. Born May 7, 2021. We took very good care of him. He would go to work with my husband. He went to doggy daycare, regular spa grooming… We just cannot take care of him with our busy schedule anymore. Looking for a loving home for Teddy.
