Story
Meet Bozzy! Bozzy came into rescue after being removed from his home by the police.  He was severely matted and in need of love and attention.  Despite the neglect he endured, he likes to be with people.  Bossy likes his bed and his toy. He is friendly and happy and easy to handle. He is ok with another dog. But he doesn't like it when another dog takes his bed He prefers to be with his people.  Bozzy is estimated to be 2 years old and 15 lbs.  He is neutered and up to date on vetting.   Complete one of our online adoption applications today!

Story
Meet Reecie!  This sweet little 8-year-old shih tzu/poodle mix is just a gem.  She is always smiling and is such a happy girl.  Her smile is irresistible, and you can't help but smile back.  Reecie loves people, is great with other dogs, and good with cats.  She would be fine with a canine companion, but also would not mind receiving all the attention in her forever home.  Reecie walks well on a leash and loves to ride in the car.  If you are looking for a little companion to go places with you, then you have found her in Reecie.  You will not be sorry if you add this sweetie pie to your family.  Looking for a Mother's Day present for yourself (we do not allow adoptions as gifts), then look no further.  This bundle of sweetness is ready to head to her forever home.  Reecie is vetted and in great health.  She weighs 15 lbs.  To be considered for her forever home and to request an application, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. (Reecie is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)May 16, 2025, 7:51 pm

Story
Meet Our Sweet Puppies – Not Yet Available for Adoption These adorable little ones may be small in size (just around 5 pounds each!), but they’re full of love and resilience. Currently under our care, they are recovering from sarcoptic mange, a contagious but treatable skin condition. While they’re not yet ready for adoption, they are getting stronger every day with lots of rest, medical care, and love. Once they’ve fully healed and received medical clearance, they’ll be looking for loving foster or forever homes. If you're interested in fostering or adopting one of these sweet pups when they're ready, please email us at info@daisyslegacy.org to express your interest. 🐾 Help Us Help Them Heal Their road to recovery involves veterinary care, medicated baths, proper nutrition, and lots of support. If you’re able, please consider making a donation to support their treatment and recovery. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you for being part of their healing journey. 💛
