Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet  Mowie , a charming Chihuahua/Terrier mix with a survival story as cool as the storm he escaped!   Born around  August 4, 2024 , and weighing in at a sturdy  15.9 pounds , Mowie is the definition of a "tough guy with a heart of gold." He was discovered hanging around the guard shack at  Randolph AFB  just as a major ice storm was rolling in. The kind-hearted guards had been sharing their lunches with him to keep him going, but they knew he needed a warm hearth to survive the freeze.   Mowie is a truly great boy who is ready to trade base security for home security. He does have one quirky "occupational hazard": he’s a bit of a serial humper when it comes to other dogs, which hasn't always won him friends at the park. However, he was  recently neutered , and we are optimistic that this will help him keep his "enthusiasm" in check as his hormones settle down.   Mowie’s Stats: Birthday:  ~08/04/2024 (approx. 1.5 years old) Weight:  15.9 lbs Background:  Air Force Base veteran & lunch-sharing expert Personality:  Resilient, social, and brave If you’re looking for a loyal companion who has been "cleared for duty," Mowie is your man! You can apply for him at www.adoggie4you.org.  His adoption fee is $300.   This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:30 pm

Story
By her previous owner before me, she was abused, so she gets scared of everything. Children are acceptable here and there but she’s never had much interaction with them because so it’s hard to say if she’s good with children or not. The care for her is simple! She just needs to know she’s okay and be calm. She thinks she runs everything! -Not potty trained (enough) -Barks a lot -Likes walks -Loves attention -Loves her bed and blanket -Doesn’t like toys

Pomeranian Husky

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Gypsy is a 4-year-old, 40 lb Pomsky (Pomeranian/Husky mix) who is looking for her emotional support human. She is a nervous girl who needs someone to show her what love truly is. Gypsy is still quite skittish and learning to adjust to the everyday noises and activity of life outside the puppy mill, but each day she grows a little braver. She’s just beginning to discover the comfort of human affection and will need structure, consistency, and kind guidance. Gypsy will need a patient, loving home that’s ready to celebrate her small victories and help her continue building confidence. Because she feels safest when she can follow the lead of another dog, Gypsy will need a confident, well-adjusted canine companion in her forever home to help her continue gaining confidence. She will also require a physically fenced yard to provide a secure environment where she can safely explore and build trust at her own pace. Gypsy is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. Her adoption fee is $275.00. 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.

Story
Meet Calvin! This 2 year old, 12 lb Pomeranian is ready for his next adventure! Calvin is a wonderful ball of fluff who is curious to see what the world has to offer. Rescued from a puppy mill, Calvin can be shy and unsure at first. Once he starts to trust you, he will smile at you with his adorable teeth and then give you a thousand tiny kisses. Calvin sees his crate as his safe place and does well in there when left at home. He is doing an amazing job at going potty outside but is still learning not to mark his territory indoors. Leash walking is brand new and a bit scary for him, but he is making strides each and every day. A secure harness and consistent practice will help him with his confidence. True to his breed, Calvin can be quite vocal and will let you know if he hears anything out of the ordinary. He loves to play with toys, chew on bones, and is curious about his new surroundings. He is fostered with other small dogs and does well with them, happy to chase and wrestle with his dog friends, but he doesn't always like to share his toys and treats with them. Calvin has made immense strides in his short time in foster care and will certainly continue to blossom into an amazing pup! Give him patience and love and Calvin will promise to return it ten-fold. Apply for Calvin today! Calvin is fostered in the Columbus 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.
