Story
Macie is just a young girl at about 6 months old who had a rough start to life. Macie was found as a stray with an embedded collar that has healed beautifully. She walks with a limp due to an old injury that she sustained around 1-2 months of age that has healed and left her right leg shorter than the others. But that doesn’t slow her down at all! She is such a sweet, kind, goofy girl that is full of love and energy. She LOVES to play with her toys, cuddle, and gives lots of kisses. She is great with kids, other dogs and cats. Shes is a great listener, great in cars, kennel trained and is doing very well with potty training. She is working on her manners but she knows how to sit, lay down, down, and stay. She is happiest when she’s with her family. She does well in the kennel and outside when left alone. A true people-pleaser, Macie is a friendly pup who thrives on attention and love. She is a super mutt, our best guess being a terrier of some kind! She is currently about 20 lbs and we anticipate her to be medium sized full grown. Macie is located in Texas. Her adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, and spay. If you are interested in adopting Macie please complete the adoption application at the link below.

Story
&#239&#184&#143Let’s get ready to ruumblleeeeee!&#239&#184&#143   Coming in at 3 years old, 50 pounds, “Ozzy the Ox” will bowl his way into your hearts!   Ozzy loves to be the life of the party, but can easily hang by himself- it seems in his past life he might have been alone more often than not.    Ozzy is: Crate and house trained - Sleeps in his crate at night, and can be by himself upwards of 6 plus hours. You work in the office? No problem.  Not destructive - He’s trustworthy! Oz can be left out of his crate and keep himself occupied with his bones, or a nap- getting ready to recharge for when you get back. Playful - Ozzy loves to play fetch, tug, you name it.  Impeccable leash manners - even when he’s on a longer lead, he opts to check in with his handler. Active - We think he’d love to do outdoorsy things-go on hikes &#239&#184&#143, collect sticks, and run to his hearts content.  Oz is a smart dude, and has already caught onto basic commands, but also practicing “calm” before getting any attention.    Just like his name, Ozzy can be a little bit of “a bull in a China shop.” We think he’d do well in a home with kids 12+ and a home that can continue to provide a sense of “calm” to work on his excitability. Due to his excitability, we are seeking a quiet home with a predictable routine. He is thriving in his quiet, suburban foster home!    Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.  The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.

Aura is super friendly and playful , she comes from an abusive home she was rescued with no papers and i was not able to take her to get them. i was dealing with school, mental health and more. i really appreciate an experienced person who loves dogs and doesn’t want to breed them for money. i never planned on impregnating my baby , i never wanted her to experience that kind of pain. I wish to stay in contact with her adopter as well , if that’s okay.

Story
Vivienne (affectionally will be called Viv for short) is looking for an adopter or foster who's in need of a new work-out buddy/motivator. WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS ABOUT ME: Vivienne's motto is "Play hard, love hard!" This spirited girl thrives on fun and adventure, whether she's racing around with other dogs or enjoying quality playtime with her favorite humans. There's no adult, kid, or furry friend she can't get along with-more playmates mean more fun! Once she's had her fill of play, Vivienne transforms into the sweetest cuddle buddy, showering you with kisses and love. She's still adjusting to crate life, but she's learning that the quicker she settles down, the sooner she gets to reunite with her favorite human (that's you!). While she's figuring out that she's no longer puppy-sized and needs to greet you with a calmer excitement, she's making great strides with positive reinforcement training. Viv loves holding hands and being petted, although she's still working on overcoming her fear of nail clipping. With her playful antics and well-timed barks, she'll keep you entertained and make sure you're always the center of her world. If you're looking for a happy-go-lucky companion who will fill your days with joy and affection, Vivienne is the perfect match for you! Come meet this lovable bundle of energy and see just how much love she has to give! Please check out Vivienne's video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WlvkoGjizw -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

I adopted Jackson from a friend that needed to rehome home due to their ongoing personal issues. I now find myself in employment limbo (federal employee) and cannot provide for him as he needs. He's a good boy with nothing but love and cuddles and it breaks my heart to do this, but I cannot provide what he needs any longer.

I am 9 years old. Oh how I love belly rubs, walks, and my cookies. (Treats) I get those twice a day. I will always let you know when someone is at the door. Oh please, do you have a yard? I think I would like to run. You see my previous owner was too busy for me and kept me in my crate for 12-16 hours a day! Thank God for my uncle who decided to take care of me until someone will want me forever! You see, he has a cat and I rather have someone's full attention, you know, since I've never had one. I'm not big on kisses, but I will show you all my love and devotion and I will be your best friend. Wagging my tail waiting to meet you. Tippy 💙🐾🐾

Story
Rosie was dropped off into this fosters neighborhood and left to fend for herself after obviously having puppies. She went door to door asking to be let in — it was January and rainy and this indoor girl was beside herself. After 10 days begging for help, she found the right neighbor who gave me a call and I brought her into my foster home. She had terrible skin allergies and was oh so hungry! For months she stared at trucks and on walks sat next to trucks — likely hoping it was her people’s truck and surely they were coming back for her. That was Jan ‘23. Flash forward to now, she is a solid 85# and allergies controlled, fur is gorgeous, and she loooooooooves everyone she meets ESPECIALLY men!!! She gets a daily walk and has become a neighborhood celebrity knowing everybody! Lawnmowing guys, city service trucks, linemen, neighbors…. literally stop what they are doing to come give her some petting and a happy hello! A lonnnng roll in the grass is required before walks are complete. She happily wears her raincoat on rainy days and winter coat in the cold months. Rosie has perfect housemanners and asks for very little. She needs to be the only pet in the house though, preferring to be Queen of her kingdom. She requires monthly meds for allergies. Her mast cell tumor was removed with all margins clear, and her Lymes disease treated. She loves car rides and going into stores and meeting everyone she can. A home where she can be Queen is her dream and mine. A busy foster home that requires her to be kept separated is not the ideal place for this social butterfly.

Story
Gravy is an amazing, sweet, loving, family dog that is unfortunately aggressive with stranger dogs. 5 y/o. He is absolutely wonderful with our three young children, and I trust him 100% with humans. We have another dog that he has adjusted to and is very loving, but he has and will attack unknown dogs when confronted with them. We have tried for two years to keep him by keeping him away from other dogs, but he's gone out of our yard through an accidentally open gate twice and attacked smaller dogs out walking with their owners. He's also attacked another dog while out walking with our kids. He'd be perfect for a family that lives in a more rural area where he won't encounter other dogs. He's fully up to date on his shots and heartworm meds and has no health issues. He's an absolute teddy bear (to humans) and we'd love for someone with a loving home to take him. We adopted Gravy from Operation Paws for Homes and they are unable to find a foster to take him back.
