My story

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

Come meet me and 100+ of my adoptable friends at Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue's MEGA adoption event, Home for the Holidays! Saturday, December 13th, 2025 at Paradise Island in Staten Island from 11am - 3pm!

Between Dec, 1st-15th, part of my adoption fee is sponsored! Thanks to the Bissell Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters campaign, my new family can take me home for $70!

Meet Freckles!

Freckles is a handsome and happy 4-year-old pit bull mix weighing 77 pounds. He has a big personality and a love for adventure! Freckles is strong, playful, and ready to find his forever home.

Freckles has plenty of energy and loves staying active. His favorite game is tug of war, and he never says no to a good chase-the-ball session (he’s still working on the “bring it back” part!). He enjoys going for walks, chewing on his favorite toys, and riding in the car — especially when it means new sights and smells to explore.
This smart boy is crate trained, completely housebroken, and takes his job as “home alert system” seriously — he’ll let you know when someone’s approaching, but he’s not an over-barker.

Freckles is super-smart and very food motivated so training is easy as long as it is consistent. He’s currently working with a trainer to help tone down his alpha energy when playing with other pups and is making great progress.

If you’re looking for an energetic, loyal companion who’s ready to join you on all of life’s adventures, Freckles is your guy!
Freckles is currently being fostered in Staten Island, NY. His adoption fee is $475.

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.
