Story

Roxie is probably the friendliest rottweiler you will ever meet. She is sweet, playful and loves lounging at you feet. She also loves taking her walks and enjoys her backyard, as long as you are there with her or there is another dog for her to play with. We got Roxie as a pupply just after she was weaned from her mom, at about 8 weeks. She turned 3 years old on December 29th. Like any dog, she loves her snacks - chicken feet - are her favorite. Dried or frozen though she is partial to the frozen ones. Her favorite stuffed toy is Lambchop so I just keep a few extras for her. She also loves her groomer because she loves to take a bath! She has been spaded and has never had any puppies. She will be your protector an unfriendly dog comes near you. She is a great companion and good company. Wait until you hear her sing along with her favorite TV commercials or her songs on the radio!

Story

I adopted Ella a month ago from the Humane Rescue Alliance in DC. She is a sweet, sweet girl. Very friendly with tons of energy. She loves to play and give affection. I unfortunately do not have the space nor time I thought I would have. She would benefit from having a small yard or close proximity to a dog park. That is the only reason I need to remove her. She deserves a little more than I am able to provide with my situation. She loves treats, is ok off a leash, friendly to adults and around children, and good around other dogs. I'm not too sure about cats.

Story

Arya (female, 8yo in August) is a pitbull (AmStaff/APBT mix). She is a seriously sweet girl who will spend all day on the couch with you if you let her. She loves cuddles, walks, rolling in the grass, and playing with her toys. She should go to a calm home that loves those things, too. She had a rough start to her life (we rescued her) so she has a hard time with small humans and other animals. Arya is highly trained, incredibly smart, and super affectionate. She deserves to live the rest of her life in comfort with a family that loves her just as much as we do (if not more)! We'll provide treats, her crate, toys, a bag of food, etc. We would also very much prefer to still be able to visit with her, if her new family is open to it! If you think Arya is a good fit for your family, please apply today!

Washington, DC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Chelsea! She came to Laila's Legacy from a local shelter, where she was a team favorite. Not only was she the sweetest pup, easy on leash, but also their go to dog tester for their big dogs! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS ABOUT ME: When Chelsea arrived she spent the first few weeks/months living in foster and *loved* her foster brother. He might have been much bigger than he was but that didn't stop them from rough-housing! Chelsea loves to soak up the attention from the adults in the home, and as a result prefers not to have too many guests or other people in the home to take away from that attention! Laila's Legacy put Chelsea through a full training program to help her learn to navigate life, build confidence, and seek direction from her humans. ATTRIBUTES: Chelsea does well with dogs, but should not go to a home with cats due to her prey drive or with kids as they are overwhelming to her. -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

Story

Forest is looking for an adopter who loves em' sweet as pie (or cake). WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS ABOUT ME: Forest (formerly known as Black Forest Cake) stops everyone in their tracks with his striking looks. But that's not all, he is also calm, gentle, poised, and oh so friendly. His ideal day would consistent of car rides with the windows down, sun bathing, and playing with his canine companions. His smile lights up the room and he is sure to make you smile too! Forest is happy to entertain himself by tossing his toys in the air and then hopping around to catch them. He's happy to entertain himself and anyone else who is around to watch him play! This goofy boy is described by other humans as a happy, snuggly pup who will brighten their day. Forest's favorite way to spend his day includes chewing on a bone or playing with a new toy and then cuddling up with his human and doggie friends for some quality time on the couch. He's a great snuggler and has never heard of "personal space". He'll cuddle up to his people and rest his head on you while he naps. ATTRIBUTES: Forest is currently in foster with dogs and has been exposed to cats though hasn't been integrated with cats to date. -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.
