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
I got Dobby from a doctor who got a Job in Florida. She had another dog and could only take one with her. Dobby has separation anxiety. If left for a long period he would bark and sometimes pee. This was because his old owner would leave him for 10 to 12 hours during the week. He’s a lot better now but I block hi in the kitchen when I leave the house. I am downsizing and moving to an apartment and it’s hard to find an apartment that takes dogs. The ones that do they want to evaluate the dog. Dobby needs a good home (not an apartment).

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
