Story
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our pets based on personality, not breed label. Shep is a 5-year-old, neutered male, perhaps Basenji-Husky mix. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and Microchipped. Shep is most definitely not a Ridgeback. He has lived with Ridgebacks and is tolerant of their weirdness (at least weird to him). His bright blue eyes reflect a keen intelligence and a dash of mischief. Very high energy, strong curiosity and intense personality make for a dog that will never allow a dull moment in your life. Once he gets to know you, Shep is a very loving dog who is always ready for an ear scratch or belly rub. He can be overly protective of those people he considers his, especially when they are his source of treats and affection. Shep is quick to speak out in defense of his territory and all that he considers his. He needs an environment that provides structure and enforces limits on his enthusiasm without suppressing his spirit. If you like a challenge and a one-of-a-kind dog that will fill the time you give him with amusement, wonder and enrichment, as few other dogs could, then Shep is the dog for you. If you like to foster Shep or adopt him and provide a Forever Home for Shep, call or text Roy at 817-454-6023 or Miguel at 817-798-8416.

Story
Meet Gator! Gator is an approximately 1.5-year-old Shiba Inu/Shepherd mix weighing around 40 pounds. He came to the Rockwall Adoption Center with his brother, Shrimp, after their family could no longer care for them. While that chapter of his life has closed, Gator is ready to begin a much brighter one. He is a friendly, social dog who enjoys being around people and does well with other dogs and cats. Gator is still building confidence in new situations, but he continues to make steady progress every day. He would do best in a home with older kids.  He is currently working on leash training and improving with consistency and positive reinforcement. With patience and guidance, Gator has all the potential to grow into a loyal, confident, and well-rounded companion. Gator is neutered, microchipped, current on rabies and DHLPP vaccinations, and heartworm negative. If you are looking for a sweet dog you can help grow and thrive, Gator may be the perfect fit. Complete an online application today: https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoption-application/We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.
