My story

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

Are you looking for a new best friend? Meet Irving! A one-year-old, 34-pound Staffie mix who will melt your heart in an instant. Irving is the epitome of a sweetheart pittie. Dogs don't come much kinder or sweeter than Irving!

Irving is a very happy, social boy who loves making new friends. His idea of paradise is a park with lots of other dogs to play with, and places to sniff. Irving loves meeting new people, and does great with men and kids. He's never met a person he doesn't like! While not laying in the sun, Irving is working on becoming a gold-medalist in the game of fetch.

Irving is very food motivated, eager to learn, and is building new skills via his training every day. Irving is fully housebroken and crate trained, and is perfectly content spending a few hours at a time alone in his crate in case you need to step away from home. He always sleeps soundly through the night in his crate, although he'd love to sleep in the bed with you if given the chance. Warning: Irving is a snuggle monster!

Irving is super easy going, and he loves trips to the spa (a.k.a. bath time, getting his nails clipped, and staying tidy) and can be convinced to do just about anything, including taking medicine, with the help of peanut butter.

Irving takes the cake for being a sweetheart. Irving's happy attitude and loving personality make him a 5-star doggo. This boy is a winner, folks!

Irving is being fostered in Washington Heights, Manhattan. 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.
