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!

Meet Milk & Cookie! Milk & Cookie is a 1 year old, 18 pound Chiweenie. This little man is the perfect blend of shy and sweet! It takes him a little time to warm up, but he’s definitely worth it.

Milk & Cookies has been the perfect house guest; he’s quiet and mostly keeps to himself. When you’re busy, he will find a quiet corner and curl up or watch you from a distance. He’s never underfoot!

When you’re relaxing, he will sit on the couch and receive pets. He’s not a huge snuggler right now, but given time and patience he may continue to come out of his shell and be a true little love!

Since arriving at his foster home, he has not had one potty accident and will use pee pads in the home if need be. He has quickly folded into the pack in his foster home - making friends with the other dogs in the home quite quickly!

If you’re looking for a small and quiet companion, come meet the Milk man today!

Milk & Cookie is cureently being fostered in Staten Island, NY. His adoption fee is $550.

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.
