Story
Bicu is from a community in Oaxaca. His name means dog in Zapotec, the Indigenous language of the place he came from. He is now about 11 months old, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and licensed in Cambridge. Bicu is goofy, loving, and full of zoomies. He is affectionate, funny, and loves to be close. He already knows sit, down, and paw, and he is eager to keep learning. Like many young rescues, he also has some challenges. He is very high-energy, sometimes reactive with other dogs, and he struggles with separation anxiety. He is house-trained but needs regular outings and is still working on leash skills. With people, he is sweet and enthusiastic, sometimes a little too enthusiastic, and he is curious but gentle with cats.

Story
Rex is an 8-year old, very energetic pitbull. He was adopted at 8 weeks old in Massachusetts. He is a sweet boy who loves intensely. This can cause him to have big feelings in the house. He has separation anxiety and would need an owner who is willing to put in the time to work with him. He loves to run around and be around his people. We can no longer take care of Rex. His ideal home would have someone who is willing to work with him to work on his outside manners as well as his anxiety. He is a very sweet dog who loves attention and play. Recent events have made it not possible for our family to care for Rex anymore. He would be a great dog for any owner who is willing to put in the effort to work with him.

Story
Meet Milo 💛 Milo is a 2-year-old, 64-lb Bernadoodle who’s as sweet and friendly as they come. He came to us as a surrender from a home where he didn’t get the exercise and playtime he needed — but in just a week with his foster family, he’s already blossoming. Milo loves playing in the fenced yard, going for walks, and hanging out with other dogs. He’s awesome with people, gentle and affectionate, and his recent health check was perfect. He’s great in the car and quickly bonds with his person — the kind of loyal companion who’ll follow you anywhere. He can be a little timid when he first meets new people, but there isn’t a single bad bone in his body. He’s just learning what it means to be a happy young dog — and he’s doing beautifully. 💫 Add another furry brother or sister? Even better — Milo loves dogs! If interested in Milo, please complete adoption application on https://legacyrescue.org/adoption/
