Story
NAME: Tilly AGE: 6-7 years old, WEIGHT: Tilly 13lbs LIKES: During down time, Tilly likes to curl up in her bed or on your lap. She will come to you, and put her paws on the chair to come up. DISLIKES: Not a fan of the rain, but will go out. She does not like going outside after dark without you with her. PERSONALITY: Tilly is a very sweet little girl. And nibby, she could be the next candidate for neighborhood watch 😁 TEMPERAMENT: Sweet, friendly and nosey. ENERGY LEVEL: low FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Tilly is a laid back girl, but likes to investigate anything in reach. FAVORITE TREAT: Any EATING SCHEDULE: 8am & 4pm GOOD WITH CATS, DOGS, KIDS OVER 6? Don’t know about cats. Great with dogs, and kids. HOUSE TRAINED: Yes, but not a fan of the rain. SIGNALS TO GO OUT: Will go to the sliding glass door. CRATE TRAINED: No. Not a fan, but doesn't need crated. CHALLENGES: Tilly sometimes will exhibit anxiety when she knows you are in house, but cannot see you, unless she is sleeping. Once she is comfortable, she no longer does this. She has the ability to knock over a full kitchen garbage can. MEDICAL ISSUES: None. THE BEST HOME: Tilly would be great with or without another dog in the house. A fence would be preferable, but not neccessary. She will walk on a leash to go potty. She has seen the ugly side of pure neglect, now it's time to see pure love. Our adoption process starts with our application. Once the application is approved, a member of Legacy will contact you to set up a home visit. The home visit usually last 1-1.5 hours and is to make sure our dog and any current dogs/cats are getting along, as well as both of us agreeing it's a fit. At this time the adoption fee is due, and begins the 2 week trial. We will check in during the 2 week trial. If it's not working, our dog is returned to the foster home and all except $100.00 {$75 if Senior} of the adoption fee is returned. At the end of the 2 week trial, you decide if you will finalize the adoption - if finalized, the Adoption Contract is signed and all medical records are turned over to you. If at any time you need to rehome the dog it contractually needs to be returned to Legacy Dog Rescue. ADOPTION FEE's: Puppies under 6 months:  $199.00 Adults:  $150.00 Seniors (over 7 yrs):  $99.00 If you are interested in one of our dogs please fill out an application: https://form.jotform.com/193425528783165

Story
Rowdy is fostered in Mentor OH and his adoption fee/donation is 150 Rowdy Hi My name is Rowdy, and I am a senior boy (Approx 10-12 yrs). I am a cute and adorable shih-tzu that ended up in this rescue because my former owner couldn’t take care of me. I am a really good boy, I love playing ball, and playing with my toys, and I get along with other dogs. I am not really a lap dog like many other Shih-Tzu's, I just like to wander around, get petted, and do my own thing for the most part. I am very easy going, and low maintenance, but I do need regular grooming's, ear cleanings, and prescription dog food to keep my kidneys healthy. When I first came to rescue, I had not been checked out by a vet for a very long time. My kidney values were abnormal, I had horrible teeth and mouth infections, I was in rough shape. Since then, I have had a dental cleaning with several extractions, meds for my kidneys and prescription food to maintain my renal health. I am now ready for my forever retirement home, somewhere that I can live out my life and be the happy & healthy dog that I deserve to be! I am housetrained, and I don’t shed, so I really don’t need much, just someone to love and care for me. I am neutered, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. My current medications are Galliprant, a pro-biotic supplement and Royal Canin kibble (Renal Support). If you would like to adopt Rowdy or would like more information on him, please fill out an adoption application We do not have a shelter, all rescues are in foster homes - Dogs are not shown without first being approved to adopt.

Story
Meet Kylo, a lively 4-year-old Shih Tzu with a go-getter spirit! This energetic little guy is looking for an active home where he’ll get plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Kylo isn’t the type to settle for a single walk a day; he’s happiest when he’s kept busy and engaged! Though Kylo enjoys attention when he seeks it out, he’s not a lap dog and prefers all four paws on the ground. With his independent streak, he’s best suited for a home without young children who might want constant cuddles. Kylo also enjoys the company of other small dogs but prefers calm, respectful companions over rambunctious puppies. If you’re interested in learning more about Kylo or scheduling a meet and greet, please note he’s available by appointment only. Email us at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov to connect with this spirited Shih Tzu who’s ready to find his forever home!
