I can be met at our NY Adoption Event on Saturday February 21 from 10am to 12pm at Tractor Supply 1253 Route 311, Patterson, NY 12563. In case of inclement weather check our hours & events page the morning of the event to see if any changes have been made to time/location/date: https://pawsafe.org/events/ What a lineup! That sounds like a high-energy, high-intelligence household waiting to happen. Lab-Shepherd mixes (often called "Shepradors") are basically the "honor students" of the dog world—equally likely to learn a complex trick in five minutes or figure out exactly how to open the pantry door. At two months old, Nyx, Zeke, Jamill, Varrick, and Ardan are right at that "potato with legs" stage before the Shepherd legs really kick in. Meet the Crew Since you’ve given them such distinct names, they already sound like they have big personalities: • The Sophisticates: Ardan and Varrick sound like they should be wearing tiny bowties and discussing philosophy. • The Powerhouses: Nyx and Zeke sound like the ones who will be leading the pack during backyard sprints. • The Wildcard: Jamill sounds like the soulful one who will win you over with "the look" to get extra treats. ________________________________________ Why they make the best Valentines: • Unconditional Love: They won't care if you forgot to make dinner reservations. • Zero Judgment: They think your singing in the shower is Grammy-worthy. • The Best Cuddles: Though, at the rate Shepradors grow, your "lap dog" will be 70 lbs before you know it! It’s wonderful that they are already up to date on their vitals. Are you helping find them homes, or did you just add one (or five!) of these guys to your family?

Story
Name: FINN Age: 3 years (born February 10, 2022) Breed: 50% American Foxhound, 20% Labrador Retriever, and 30% Super Mutt Finn is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves kids and puppies. She is happiest outdoors – running through the woods, playing in the snow, splashing in the water or digging at the beach. After adventuring, she loves to curl up by a cozy fire and relax with her people. Finn is loyal, gentle and playful. As a true outdoor-loving dog, Finn thrives with plenty of exercise and space. She would do best with a family – especially one with multiple people or someone who works from home – who can give her the activity, attention, and companionship she loves. A home with a backyard or access to long, daily walks would be ideal. Finn was professionally trained as a puppy. She is housebroken, does not need to be in a crate (but was crate-trained), can sit, lie down and stay. She was on Hill’s Science Diet food until recently switching to Farmer’s Dog, which she loves. Her favorite human foods are cheese and peanut butter. All of her medical records are available and all vaccinations are up to date. Because none of us are perfect…. Finn gets overly excited and still jumps up on people. She isn’t perfect with all dogs – it really depends on the breed. My vet says she likes easy-tempered, happy dogs (ex. Golden Retrievers) or puppies who aren’t a threat. When she senses dogs to be a threat or a bit aggressive, she will defend herself. Finn can also get very territorial around sticks or balls with other dogs around. She can be stubborn. She has some noise aversions – trucks, helicopters, sirens – all of the Big City noises. And, she does not love the car.

Story
🐾 Meet Buster: Your New Best Friend! Hi there! My name is Buster, and I’m a 36-lb bundle of love and loyalty. For the last two and a half years, I’ve been the center of my Dad’s world. We’ve been inseparable since I was just 10 weeks old, but life is taking us on different paths now. My Dad had to move into assisted living, and while it was a very sad goodbye, he made sure to send me off with all my favorite toys so I’d feel safe. I’m a little confused right now, but I have so much love left to give. I’m just looking for a new human to share my life with! Why I’m the Perfect Companion: • Expert Cuddler: At 36 lbs, I am the perfect "portable" size—not too big, not too small. I’m easy to take on adventures and even easier to fit on your lap. • Cat-Friendly: My grandparents had a whole house full of cats, so I know exactly how to be a respectful brother to feline friends. • Gentle & Smart: I already know how to "Sit," and I pride myself on my gentle manners. • A True Shadow: My favorite place in the world is "wherever the humans are." Whether you’re folding laundry or watching a movie, I’ll be right there by your side. My Wishlist: I’m looking for a home where I won’t be left behind and where my "gentle soul" is appreciated. I might be a little sad at first because I miss my Dad, but with a few treats and some belly rubs, I know I can be the happy boy I was born to be. Will you be the one to scoop me up and give me a new beginning?

Story
Meet Chico, your future tiny best friend with a big personality! Chico is a 1.5-year-old, 11-pound toy Yorkshire Terrier who may be small, but his love and charm are larger than life. This sweet boy was surrendered through no fault of his own; his previous owners were facing health challenges and wanted Chico to have the happy, love-filled life he deserves. He is more than ready to give that love right back. Chico is a true gentleman and does not jump on furniture. He is crate trained, loves people of all ages, and gets along well with other dogs. He also rides calmly in the car and is cooperative during baths. Chico especially enjoys treats and is very food motivated. He enjoys his daily walks and continues to improve his leash skills each day. Chico is currently working on house training. He uses pee pads and is going outside, and with consistency and patience, he is expected to master it soon. He is eager to please and thrives on praise and positive reinforcement. Chico loves stuffed toys, balls, treats of any kind, and soaking up attention from his people. He would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a devoted, affectionate dog who will greet them with enthusiastic tail wags, plenty of kisses, and happily curl up after playtime. Chico is currently being fostered in Staten Island, New York, and is ready to find his forever home. His adoption fee is $600. Chico is a Patron Pup. Patron Pups have higher adoption fees due to varying reasons and are adopted quickly, even with these higher adoption fees. They may be purebred, a highly desirable breed, small in size fully grown, etc. These fees allow them to act as patrons to other pets in our care who may not be as adoptable, or have ongoing costs for medical care, contributing to a longer time in rescue, and therefore a higher cost for us to care for them. Patron Pups allow us to continue rescuing these other animals and give them a better chance at finding their forever homes as well. "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
Parsley's basic bio is below, but we maintain more detailed information about each of our animals on our website, which is also always up to date with animals removed immediately once they are adopted. Please visit Parsley's page on our site (https://www.muddypawsrescue.org/adoptable?dog=009527) to learn even more about Parsley! Additionally, please note that the breed listed for Parsley is just our best guess based on the dog's physical features. We cannot make any guarantees about the accuracy of our guesses. PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO VOLUME, WE ARE GENERALLY UNABLE TO RESPOND TO INQUIRIES MADE USING THE 'ASK ABOUT ME' BUTTON. Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org. Parsley is a very intelligent boy with very clear boundaries. He is independent, and very confident and will knock your socks off with how well he listens. He always wants to learn and has a laundry list of commands that he can follow. Parsley loves to snuggle with a blanket and will bond well with his caregiver. Once bonded, he will allow that person to care for him. Parsely is very sensitive to touch. He's the type of guy that needs to trust you first, then he'll give you his belly.
