Story
Meet Sammy ❤️ Sammy is a 1,5-year-old, 35-lb sweetheart with a playful spirit, a loving personality, and just the right amount of energy. At 35 lbs, he is a wonderful medium size—not too big, not too small—and an easy companion for everyday life. Sammy is friendly, confident, affectionate, and very well-socialized. He genuinely enjoys being around people and loves attention and companionship. He has a happy, playful side and enjoys having fun, but with his medium energy level, he also knows how to settle down and enjoy time with his people. At only 1,5 years old, Sammy is still a young dog with plenty of enthusiasm for walks, playtime, adventures, and exploring the world with his future family. But he isn’t a nonstop bundle of energy. He has a lovely balance that could make him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a dog to enjoy life with and then relax together at home. Most of all, Sammy is a people dog. He is comfortable and confident around humans, seeks out affection, and seems happiest when he feels included. His social nature makes us believe that at some point in his life, Sammy was part of a family. Sadly, we don’t know what happened to that family. Sammy was found tied to a pole outside a busy market, left there alone. Because the market is such a busy place, we hope whoever left him chose that location knowing he would quickly be seen and someone would help him. Despite what happened, Sammy hasn’t lost his trust in people. He is still the same happy, affectionate, playful boy—ready to love someone and become part of a family again. Sammy has his whole life ahead of him. There are so many walks to take, toys to play with, places to explore, cuddles to give, and memories still waiting to be made. Sammy has an opportunity to travel to New York, but he can only make the journey if he has a confirmed adopter or foster-to-adopt home waiting to welcome him. Health * Neutered * Microchipped * Fully vaccinated * Dewormed * 4DX tested * On flea, tick, and heartworm prevention with Simparica Trio If you’re looking for a young, playful, affectionate companion with a wonderful medium energy level, Sammy may be exactly the dog you’ve been waiting for. He has already been left behind once. Let’s make sure the next person who chooses Sammy chooses him forever. ❤️ Apply at sosanimalwelfare.org or email sosanimalwelfare@gmail.com.

Story
Introducing Biscuit, the best boy in town! Biscuit is a 15-lb, 6-month-old Aussie/Poodle mix who has the warm personality of a summer day. He has yet to meet a person he doesn’t like, and he gets along great with every dog he meets too. Biscuit’s superpowers are being both crate AND house trained at such a young age, being a supermodel pretty, and being the most lovable and easygoing boy. He is accident free as long as he’s kept on a suitable schedule of walks or given access to the outside via a doggie door. And if he wants out, he’ll tell you. Biscuit’s favorite things are ALL treats, dinner time (or maybe breakfast time) and taking a nap in your lap. He also enjoys being outside and he’s getting the hang of walking without pulling on the leash. If you have been looking for the best boy to take his place beside you, look no further. He’s right here. Biscuit is currently living his best life in scenic Bucks County, PA and his adoption fee is $575. 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. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

Story
Meet Fuchshia! Fuchshia is a 12-year-old, 30-lb Tibetan Terrier mix whose favorite things are praise and cuddles, stuffed toys and being near her people. And food. She loves her treats! Fuschia has the energy (and the shiny white teeth!) of a dog less than half her age. She just doesn’t have all of the extra work that a puppy requires. Fuchshia already knows where to go potty, and she already has great leash manners—unless she sees a squirrel. She loves people of all ages and genders, and gets along well with all other dogs too. She’s adapted well to living with three other dogs in foster care, and she even takes walks on a tandem leash without fuss. Fuchshia loves a good sniffing walk! She goes out eagerly for her walks, gets her business done right away and then enjoys a good mosey around to poke her nose wherever she smells something interesting. Fuchsia’s superpowers are her ability to take every toy out of her toy box in a flash, her adaptability and her ability to melt you to her will with her big brown eyelinered eyes. If you’ve been looking for a new best friend who’s easygoing and low maintenance, Fuchshia could be the one for you. Fuchshia is being fostered in Clark, NJ and her adoption fee is $400. 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.
