If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com Hello everyone my name is Ghee...My foster parents named me this because I was a chubby little pup.  I am now a full grown pup who will be 2 yrs old come July (my DOB 7/29/2023).  I am your still a puppy at heart with lots of energy and spunk.  I get along great with other dogs and it would be best if my family already had another dog for me to grow up with.  I am not sure about cats and just like to bark at them.  (They never answer me back)  I would do best in a home with mature kids at least 7+ years and older.  My foster family did a DNA test on me so my breeds are correct and I have some of the best traits from both of them.  I am  lively, energetic, and playful and enjoying interactive playtime.  My foster mom says I  love to cuddle and seek attention but can be independent and sometimes to smart for my own good. (I am still in my puppy phase)  I am housetrained with a doggie door and get fed in my crate because I don't know boundaries yet and just like to sample all my foster brother and sister's food. I am spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated.  I am also on flea and hw preventative.

Story
Carter was originally adopted as a "only child" after being found abandoned wandering around Carters Lake, Georgia. The rescuing vet believed he was around ~2 years old at the time. Since he didn't have any siblings, he had my full attention during the COVID years while working from home. But now I've had to relocate out of state and move in with a family that has other dogs that Carter doesn't get along well with. Carter suffers from extreme separation anxiety, minor skin/ear allergies, and aggressive behavioral challenges. He would thrive in a quiet home that has a lot of love to give, patience with his jealousy & protective barking, and extra cuddles to spare. He loves a soft blanket with couch pillows to cuddle with his owner.

Story
Delta, Looking at her pictures, you'd never know she came in looking like a train wreck. This poor dog lived on the streets for years and she sure looked it when she came in. Those days are behind her now and she is ready to roll on to the next chapter. Delta is a around 6 yrs old and weighs close to 50 lbs and she is very true to her breed. She is a stubborn Basset Hound who will keep you laughing every day. We enjoy her antics around here and love watching her and her boyfriend Mack play. Delta was treated for heartworms and is currently being treated for Chagas disease. Don't let that worry you.... she is doing great and strong as a bull. She is doing great on treatment! She gets along best with male dogs but can coexisit with male or female if its the right dog. Delta is located in Hondo, Texas and is available for transport to St Petersburg, FL on February 21st. She is spayed, up to date on all shots, microchipped and her adoption fee is $450. The fee includes the transport cost. Every dog adopted through Tracy's Paws receives: Chagas, heartworm, and tick testing (when age-appropriate) All core vaccines (age-appropriate) Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives Regular Deworming Spay/neuter surgery Microchip Breed listings are our best guess, based on appearance.
