Story
My name is Melvin and I am looking for a new home. My mom is sick and can no longer take care of me. I am a great doggie. For starters, I am super intelligent. I’m friendly and get along with other dogs and cats and even have been exposed to farm life some. I love to snuggle and curl up on your lap. I love to play after I eat, and love treats. I am a purebred daushaund! I also do have some special needs that I have to tell you about. I had back surgery for IVDD about 5 years ago. I was a miracle and recovered completely, but not without some complications. I cannot hold my bladder or pooping completely like other doggies. I’m pretty good, I go when I’m brought outside but my bladder is not the same ever since my surgery. Sometimes I have to wear a diaper. I do not like the crate, and can howl a lot when left alone. I also don’t like long walk For these reasons I am going to need someone who stays home for the most part, and can give me the love and attention I deserve.

Story
Max is 7 years old. We raised him as a rescue since he was 3 months old. He’s a lovable and loyal dog, Always good with children and adults. He has a high level of protection and prey instinct. He doesn’t get along with any dogs whatsoever. We live in an HOA with many other dog owners, our homes are in close proximity. With many dogs in the neighborhood, as well as another small dog in our family we’ve come to the heart wrenching decision to find him a better home. He needs to be in a caring home with someone who understands the breed and will protect him from interactions with other dogs. We’re not seeking money, just a loving home that can care for him properly.

Story
Meet York! This little boy is just over 9 months old and a lab mix. York is a fun loving puppy who would do best in a home who is ready for an active adventurous puppy. He needs a family ready to be the leader and continue to train him good behavior. He loves to run around the back yard and play with toys. He gets along well with other dogs including the resident dog. He is very treat motivated and eager to learn. In his current foster home, he learned to use the doggy door the 1st day and hasn’t had any issues with potty training and hasn’t any accidents in the house. The first day at his current foster home he was a little skittish of new things but he adjusted quickly and he is up to usual puppy antics. He is very curious and will explore his surroundings to see what he can play with. He has a current obsession with sock and has sniffed all the lost missing sock in his current foster home. York loves to play with toys but does need to be monitored with them because he likes to tear of little pieces off and tries to eat them. His current foster is working on drop and leave it which he is catching on to. York is very interested in people food and we have been working on proper manners. He does jump up and counter surf. In his current foster home he has been trained to sit in his “spot” in the kitchen which has helped to deter this behavior. We are also working on wait and a release word for his meals. He is catching on quickly that jumping and being on the counter is not allowed. York is recently going through a phase where he's got some stranger danger. He'll be successful in a home that has the time and patience for him to come out of his shell. He does GREAT once he knows somebody, but it will take some time. When he gets scared his reaction is to turn the other direction. York has some amazing jumping skills and can easily clear a regular height baby gate so he would need a house with a 6ft fence or would need to be taking on leash or be on a tie out. He was happily sleeping in a crate at night, but he grew out of it. He now sleeps on his bed on the floor but will happily sleep in your bed if you let him. York is an active treat motivated puppy who is looking for someone to explore and learn new tricks with.

She is super smart and ready to learn how to fit into your lifestyle!

Story
Leaf is a very smart and loving girl. Leaf is an approximately 2 year old female hound/lab mix. She has learned so quickly to go up and down stairs, and she loves snuggling and napping. She has already learned that the outdoor jacket has treats in it and will bring the jacket when she’s ready for a walk! She does well with other dogs and is learning how to play. She loves being outside and walks well on a leash but will try to pull if she sees a squirrel, so hold on tight! She is a little too excited around cats and would not do well with a cat in the home. Leaf likes to stand up on hind legs to see what’s going in at the counter or table, but we’re trying to stop that habit. Leaf is very smart and personable and likes all people and dogs. She is completely housebroken. She adapts well to change and will be a wonderful companion to someone who can give her some good exercise each day but also likes snuggles and kisses. PS She does not like fireworks. If you would like to meet Leaf please fill out an application at https://forms.gle/hUZAYrhB8NfMHGNW9 or email us at legends@legendsrescue.org for more info!
