Story
Allow us to introduce Brisket, a handsome 1-year-old, 50lb Old English Bulldog who has officially retired from the puppy mill life and is now pursuing his dream career:
Professional Family Dog.
Brisket is a gorgeous brindle boy with a classic Bulldog personality and a very important daily agenda.
His schedule typically looks something like this:
Wake up.
Wonder why everyone else is awake.
Hang out.
Chew hard toy.
Decide the hard toy needs to be relocated to a completely different room.
Create a tiny bit of chaos for absolutely no reason.
Hang out some more.
Make friends with foster siblings.
Look innocent when caught participating in said chaos.
Chew hard toy.
Possibly do something productive.
Decide productivity is overrated.
Resume lounging.
Repeat.
Brisket gets along wonderfully with his foster siblings of all sizes, because apparently his friendship policy is very inclusive. Big dog? Friend. Little dog? Friend. Anyone willing to hang out? Probably friend.
He's mostly house trained and mostly potty trained, which means he's well on his way to earning his official "Good Boy" certification. He's also working on his leash skills, so his future family will need to keep practicing with him and be patient while he figures out this whole walking-on-a-leash business.
A securely fenced yard would be fantastic for Brisket. He can also manage small flights of stairs unassisted, proving that beneath that adorable Bulldog exterior is a tiny stair-climbing professional.
Of course, Brisket is a Bulldog, so prospective adopters should understand that he may occasionally have some very strong opinions about how things should be done. These opinions may include, but are not limited to:
"I don't want to move."
"This toy is mine."
"Why are we walking when we could be lounging?"
"I have decided this is my spot."
"That thing was sitting there, so naturally I had to investigate it."
"I don't know what happened, but I wasn't involved."
Brisket is also perfectly capable of turning an otherwise peaceful afternoon into a low-level Bulldog event. Nothing too dramatic—just enough shuffling, snorting, toy tossing, sibling antics, and general Bulldog nonsense to keep everyone entertained.
After surviving life as an Amish puppy mill dog, Brisket is discovering how wonderful it feels to be safe, loved, and treated like someone's special boy. He's learning his house manners, working on his leash skills, making friends, enjoying his toys, and discovering that sometimes the best part of the day is simply hanging out with his people.
Now he's ready for a forever family who will continue to give him patience, structure, love, and—most importantly—plenty of opportunities to hang out and occasionally cause a completely adorable amount of chaos.
Brisket isn't asking for much.
A fenced yard.
Some good chew toys.
A comfy place to lounge.
A family to love.
A little patience.
And maybe a few snacks.
Okay, definitely snacks.
If you think your home could use a handsome brindle Bulldog with a goofy personality, a heart of gold, and just enough chaos to keep life interesting, Brisket is accepting applications for his forever family.
Because this boy has spent enough time waiting.
It's Brisket's turn to be spoiled, loved, and allowed to cause a little harmless Bulldog chaos.
Brisket is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is $450.00.
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.
