Such a sweet loving dog. I took him in for a friend who was moving and could not have pets. I have to rehome him because I work too much and I’m hardly home and he needs more attention than I can give.

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dexter takes a little time to warm up but once he does he’s a little cuddle bug who thinks he is a cat. The perfect family for Dexter is one who will allow him to warm up to you on his own time. Dexter has been through a lot so his family must be understanding and patient until he learns to trust again. If you can do that, Dexter will make the perfect companion. We prefer he is the only dog in the household.

Story
I was dumped by someone who just did not want me anymore. I was terrified, scared, and worried about where my family went. It took them 15 minutes to get a leash on me, but once I got in the car and had a snack, I knew I was going to be okay. I am still adjusting, and I will have a hard time trusting again. But I will be the best girl ever in no time! Just give me a chance to build trust with me!

Story
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 Pogo: Proof That Love Has No Limits. Pogo is a 15-pound bundle of pure happiness packed into a lovable chiweenie body. At about a year old, this sweet boy greets life with enthusiasm, affection, and a permanently wagging tail. After a severe injury, Pogo became a tripod—but don’t let that fool you for a second. He does stairs confidently, uses a ramp for the couch like a pro, and still lives life to the fullest. Pogo loves fetch, belly rubs, and breaking into joyful zoomies around the yard. He’s playful, affectionate, and endlessly loving, with a personality that radiates positivity. Pogo is fully house trained, crate trained, and eager to be someone’s constant companion. This resilient little guy doesn’t see himself as different—he just sees the next adventure, cuddle, or game of fetch. Pogo is looking for a home that will love him exactly as he is and maybe toss a ball or two while they’re at it. Pogo is being fostered in Middletown NJ. His adoption fee is $550. 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.

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.

Story
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.

Story
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 Kalinda! She’s a 7-year-old, 12-pound Chihuahua who would love to spend the rest of her days surrounded by her entourage, doing what she does best: lounging and looking good. She’s also an excellent snack-sharer! With many years of experience perfecting her sitting and judging, she expects her forever home to match her energy and uphold the highest standards of cleanliness. But fret not—she’ll do her part. She’s housebroken and crate trained, and she’ll help you discover the best sunbathing spots in the home (her favorite course at Barkley College was “How to Move the Least When the Sun Moves the Most”). When the sun does force her to relocate, that’s when you’ll see the most activity out of her. She’ll head outside and stay out as long as her beloved sunshine does. Cardio, though? Absolutely not. She’ll be grumpier than usual if a stroll interrupts her regularly scheduled “nap ’n snack” session. She does get the occasional burst of energy outside—you might even witness a zoomie or two—but don’t expect them often! Otherwise, this little lady prefers to take life at her own pace. There are no kids in her foster home, so she’s not entirely sure whether they can meet her high standards for lounging. She’ll be extra judgey until they prove they’re just as dedicated to relaxing as she is. Once they do, she’ll gladly welcome them into the upper ranks of her fan club and make more public appearances. (Fans who try to force their way into her inner circle may be met with some displeasure and will have a harder time earning her trust.) Kalinda has very high standards for anyone lucky enough to become her companion. If you think you’re ready for a low-maintenance soulmate who naps like it’s her full-time job (because it is!), submit your application now! Kalinda is currently being fostered in Staten Island, NY. Her adoption fee is $550.
