If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com   Hello, Future Family!   I'm Gucc, but my foster mom loves to call me Sweet Baby G. Even though I'll be turning 12 this August (DOB 08/01/2012), I still have a heart full of puppy energy! I adore playing with toys and get super excited when my foster mom comes home – she can't believe how lively I am for my age!   I'm a charming bully mix, tipping the scales at just over 50 lbs. Despite my love for treats and being super food-motivated, I somehow stay lean and fit. Post-walk treats are my favorite reward and always make me wag my tail with happiness.   I know some folks might be hesitant because I'm a bully mix, but I'm a gentle sweetheart who loves nothing more than a bit of playtime, snuggles on the couch, and showering you with unexpected kisses. Give me some love and attention, and I'll be your loyal, affectionate companion.   Sometimes, new places and unfamiliar animals make me a bit anxious – I guess you could say I'm a bit of a homebody. However, I love neighborhood walks and am always curious about what the neighbors are up to. I'm not aggressive on the leash, just very inquisitive. At home, I can be quite protective and will bark if I hear the delivery man – it's just my way of guarding our space!   My foster mom has been teaching me to sit and "wait" for my food, and I'm getting pretty good at it, even though I get so excited for meal times. Plus, I've been a good boy with no accidents inside the house – my foster mom is really proud of me.   I can't wait to meet you and become your beloved, playful companion!   Paws and Kisses, Baby G (Gucc)   Gucc is adoption fee is $350 - obedience training is required after adoption as well as a fully enclosed front or backyard is also required To apply to foster or adopt please fill o ut application at www.heidislegacydogrescue.com/apply-to-foster-or-adopt Thank you for completing the application.

If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com Kirk’s life has been nothing short of heartbreaking. This poor boy has endured severe neglect and abandonment not once but twice. His desperate condition is a testament to his will to survive, but he’s now facing a life-threatening crisis. When we took him in, Kirk was bleeding profusely from a ruptured growth in a sensitive area. He’s severely anemic and suffering from untreated infection and malnutrition. We’ve managed to stabilize him with fluids, antibiotics, and painkillers, but he urgently needs surgery to remove the growth—and potentially save his life. We need to raise $2,000 for Kirk’s surgery. If 400 people donate **just $5—the cost of a morning coffee—we can give Kirk the life-saving treatment he deserves. Every dollar counts, and every minute matters. If you’re on Kirk’s side, please skip that coffee, skip that snack, and join us in making sure this boy finally knows what love and care truly mean. He’s waited his whole life for someone to care… Please be that someone today. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Please donate via: PayPal: @heidislegacy Venmo: @HLDR2002 Zelle: Heidi's Legacy Website: heidislegacydogrescue.com/donate Thank you for helping us save Kirk’s life!

My name is Remy! I am a really good boy. I have lived at Sit 'n Stay training facility the past 3 years with out anyone coming back for me.  I think that nobody has asked about me because of my breed...it really is sad...I am such a good boy, you just need to meet me. I am ok with other dogs with proper introductions but really prefer the low energy lady dogs.  I am extremely good, clean and quiet in my crate.  I promise you I will sit and wait like a good boy when you get home just for some pets. I will always greet you with a tail wag. Give me a chance because I am  a favorite at the training facility and they would love nothing more then to see me visiting and then leaving with my new family. Did I mention belly rubs are my thing? I am about 70 pounds & they say I am six yrs old and I am very low activity.  Did I mention I come with training lessons and access to group classes and free boarding for life? If you cannot open your doors for me please share my photo. Share my sweet face so I can have a warm dog bed by your side while you watch tv.  Again please fill out application on the HLDR website and address all questions to Acarra395@gmail.com onlyJanuary 16, 2025, 8:55 pm

Story
Meet Minnie Pearl 🐾 When we saw this sweet girl at Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, our hearts shattered. She is 8 years old, intact, emaciated, & HW positive girl who came in as a stray with very swollen ears and an unusual gait on her back legs. 😞 Despite the hell she endured before she was saved, Minnie is very sweet and gentle. She has been doing amazing in her foster home, has gained much-needed weight and her wounds have healed. Once she is spayed, she will begin heartworm treatment.
