My story

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

Meet Skye!



Skye is a 7-year-old terrier/dachshund mix who found herself looking for a new home after her previous owner could no longer care for her. This sweet, silly girl has so much love to give and will keep you smiling with her goofy personality and love for toys.



Skye enjoys playing fetch, doing little zoomies around the house, and then curling up in your lap for snuggles and kisses. She can be a little shy with new people at first, but she warms up quickly and shows just how affectionate she is.



She’s good with other dogs and older kids, and while she hasn’t had much experience with younger children, she may do fine with proper introductions. Skye is also working on her potty training—she spent long stretches of time in an apartment before coming to us—but she’s improving every day with the help of her foster.



Skye does have some environmental allergies (she’s been tested), which may occasionally require an allergy shot to keep her comfortable. Otherwise, she’s in great health and ready to find her forever family.



Her foster says it best: “She’s one of those awesome dogs we get every now and then, so we hope she gets the perfect match.”



Could Skye be the perfect match for you?

More about this rescue

Hank’s Legacy Foundation was created in memory of my first dog Hank. Hank, a Great Dane, came from a breeder, and we quickly learned the hard lesson of not doing enough research on breeding. Hank developed severe allergies resulting in multiple emergency room visits and eventually daily injections. Our sweet boy grew up in a body that would fail him. His poor health and his poor eye-site caused Hank to live an unsure life. He was constantly nervous and extremely cautious of everything new. After multiple train camps, his aggression grew, and we knew this life wasn’t fair to him. You always hear stories about people and their “heart dogs”, and Hank was mine. Losing him was the most devastating thing, and now I vow to save animals like him. I promised my big goofball that I would fight for the poorly bread animals. I would advocate for stricter training and education. I would save all that I could. Hank’s Legacy foundation is built for the animals that need an advocate in order to save their lives. They need a voice, and we are here to give it to them.

Mission statement "To rescue unwanted dogs from the Los Angeles shelters and provide education for the misunderstood “mutt”, To bring awareness to the growing problem of backyard breeders producing “designer dog” breeds without a thought to the health of the animal or the same types of mixed breeds sitting in the shelter system”

Our rescue follows the no-kill policy and is operated solely by volunteers with an emphasis on foster homes, until we are able to have a physical rescue facility.

We are located in the San Fernando Valley and mostly rescue from the East valley animal shelter. We are just starting out and so we have only a few dogs available at one time. If you are interested in a certain breed, I can place you on a list for that breed and notify you when that breed becomes available.

We are 501(c)3! All Donations are Tax Deductible!

We run 100% on donations from our community, and could not do this without you!

We give back to our community through Trap, neuter, and release programs for the feral cats in our area and hope to expand our spay and neuter programs as well. Your donation will go directly to the care for animals. We greatly appreciate every donations, whether it is time or money.

We cannot function without community support. While most groups will forget about the most important volunteer, we are here to thank every one of you who helps spread our message. Tell your friends and family about us so that we can make Los Angeles No kill. Ask them to volunteer their time, or skip that morning coffee and donate to our great cause! Every little bit helps and we appreciate it all!

Thank you for your support!
