My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say hello to Oscar! This gentleman is an 8 year old 16 pound Yorkie who enjoys taking in the world, a good nap, and newly interested in chew toys!

Oscar is a rescue from a puppy mill and is learning about the world outside of the cage he was confined to. People are new to Oscar and if given the space to investigate at his own speed he is learning he can trust humans! Once shying away from loud sounds or people he now eats treats out of his foster moms and loves being scooped up and tagging along for a ride in the car.
As long as introductions are slow, Oscar will cozy up right into your arms.

Oscar loves like size dogs and although less enthusiastic about the large dogs in his foster home, he seems to be gaining interest. While he would do well with a like size dog sibling, he also would love to steal your heart for himself!

In terms of house training, Oscar is working on going outside on leash. He does consistently potty in one spot indoors and has made great progress with keeping it on the wee wee pads.

Oscar has made so much progress and is ready for a home to call his own! If you are looking for a little buddy to be right at your side, look no further!

Oscar is currently being fostered in Staten Island. His adoption fee is $500.

To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
