Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I know I know I'm as cute as they come! At least that's what my foster family tells me! I was dumped at the Mahoning county pound for unknown reasons, besides ...I must be crated when left alone. I used to be really scared in my crate- my teeth are all worn down from me chewing on it, before I even entered the pound. I'm not sure how many hours a day I was left in a crate but they keep telling me it must of been a long, long time. Luckily legacy took me in with loving arms (because my foster mom said Yes to fostering me) and I'm slowly learning to trust. They have me on medicine so when I have to be crated I do much better and I'm not as scared.
I love my foster family especially their little boy! We have 2 other doggies who I get along great with too. My foster mom says the only time I bark is when I'm in the crate, or if she thinks she can go outside without me - she's so silly thinking I wouldn't want to be out there too! I am a great lap dog that just wants love and to give love. I am trying to learn that I will never be dumped again but it's so scary and I will need you to remind me often. I'd love to be in a home with a little boy or another dog!
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 1/2 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 $50.00 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.
