Story
Hi, my name is Jaxson. I am soon to turn 2yrs come November 2026. For the last year and a half, all I’ve known is love, patience, free range play time and definitely structure. My eating schedule is two cups twice a day (5am and 4pm). Don’t tell others, but my family does offer human food as a treat sometimes and typically on weekends. I enjoy this very much as it has flavor as opposed to my routine dry food. House and crate trained with basic commands in order. For my future parents I’ve yet to meet, know that I am loyal and protective. It is my nature to guard all corners of a home and to investigate anyone entering our home. I love people but I will let you know if someone is not trustworthy by showing my teeth. I have never attacked anyone as I was trained to follow the order ‘Stand Down’. I also embrace other female dogs, however, when it comes to fellow males I am of competitive nature so it may go a little rough. I wonder what it will be like meeting you for the first time.

They just wanted to save her life.   We’re really trying to help Angel get into a new home! She’d be happy to be somebody’s only dog, (although she has lived as a foster with other dogs)   Angel baby photo will be added to this thread - but even now at about 14 months old, she’s not a big dog about 38 pounds full grown.   She’s definitely a mix of a few breeds, but looks so much like a Dutch Shepherd - her coloring, her brindle - We’re sure she has Australian Cattle Dog or Heeler breed mixed in with her; she likes to know who is where in the house. She’s not an active herder but many similarities.    Angel is very praise- driven as well as treat/food motivated. She will not try and take another dog food and isn’t crazy about another dog taking hers   Angel is so sweet, cuddly and lovable - we rarely get dogs where we believe that they will be happy as the only dog, but since that house was how she was the first year of her life we think that would make her the happiest.   If a person or a couple with a large male dog is interested then that would be a good application as well.   Angela is good with being left during the day; her Foster works a few days a week for long hours and Angel knows how to use the doggie door. She’s a quick studying would be really responsive to learning new tricks and commands.   If you have room in your heart and your home for this little girl who barely stayed alive, she is now looking for her forever home and we are trying to help her find the perfect one!   To meet Angel for adoption please complete our application on our website below:   www.dashdog.org   Then TEXT SARA:  214-549-9905   So one of us can check your application and get back to you!  General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.

Story
Looking for you ride-or-die soulmate-the kind who sticks by your side through every season of life? Kennedy might just be your girl. She's a survivor with a heart of gold. In 2018, Kennedy was rescued from a shelter where she endured Hurricane Harvey in an outdoor cage, facing 140 mph winds. Whatever came before that storm, she's never let it define her. Kennedy is resilient, wise, and full of love. For the past six years, she's been more than a pet, she's been a steady companion, a hiking partner, a sunset-watching sidekick, and a quiet comfort during hard days. She's snuggled through tears, celebrated joyful moments, and made solo walks feel like shared adventures. Kennedy doesn't just live in your home--she lives in your heart. Kennedy's ideal home is peaceful and loving. She's not a fan of chaos or high-energy dogs, and she's grown less tolerant of small or bouncy pups. She'd thrive as your one-and-only or with other big dogs who respect her space and vibe. She is ready for her next chapter, a home where she can be someone's best friend, protector, and partner in quiet joy. If you're looking for a dog who truly sees you, Kennedy is waiting. The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00 and that includes their vaccinations, spay or neuter, rabies and microchip. Our dogs are also heartworm negative (or we will cover their treatment). To start the process please visit our website and fill out the adoption application (www.dfwrescueme.org) and from there the foster family can answer any questions and arrange a time to meet. Kennedy is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM.September 21, 2026, 12:02 am

Story
This attractive girl with the most interesting coat and beautiful smile is Iris. According to my Dog Scanner she is an Australian Dutch Shepherd/American Pitbull mix. Iris weighs 51 pounds and is approx two years old. She was found as a stray on 10/2. Iris is a delightfully charming girl. She did warm up with I began petting her, she leaned into me as if to communicate that she would love for me to continue. Iris walks nicely on a leash and is possibly house trained. Iris had no interest in toys or balls. What struck me is that she has the most beautiful smile and shining eyes!

Story
Hi, I’m GriffI’ve had a really rough start in life. I was found tied to a tree in terrible condition by one of the amazing volunteers, and that’s how I made my way to Apollo. I was scared, confused, and in need of medical care—but thanks to the rescue, I got the help I needed. I’m feeling so much better now, and the only thing left is a little bit of hair loss, which just makes me extra special.I was born in 201&, and I’ve already experienced abandonment and neglect. Because of that, the loud noises and busy environment at the rescue make me pretty anxious. But once you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m actually the cutest, quirkiest pup who loves to make people laugh and have fun.I’m looking for an active family who will love me, train me, and be patient while I continue to learn that the world can be a safe place. I’ll need understanding and kindness as I work through my past, but I promise I’m worth it.I’m neutered and up to date on all my shots. Right now, it’s hard to say if I’m dog reactive because the rescue environment is overwhelming for me. With time, a quieter home, and proper decompression, I may be able to tolerate other dogs—but slow, thoughtful introductions will be important.What I really need is someone willing to see past my rough beginning and help me write a happy ending. If you’re ready to give me that chance, I’d love to meet you.If you are interested in adopting, please copy and paste this link into your browser...https://www.apollosupportandrescue.org/adoptthisdog.htmlIncluded with adoption: Age-appropriate vaccinations, up to date heart-worm preventative, heart-worm test if over 6 months, microchip with registration, and spayed or neutered- if not already, a voucher is provided.Show less

Story
Scout is a protective, loyal partner. He loves to run and is high energy. He would do great in a household that is active and will take him on walks, runs and hikes. Scout loves the water and jumps headfirst in our kiddie pools at the rescue. He is a very affectionate dog and loves to snuggle in bed under the covers. He clings to his owner with a bit of separation anxiety when owner is not around. In a home with little exercise, he can become bored and destructive. He is house trained and walks well on a leash. Since he has gotten older his energy is less, but he will still love walks and hike and then a nice soft place to nap. He was born in 2015 and is located at the Rescue. Included with adoption: Age-appropriate vaccinations, up to date heart-worm preventative, heart-worm test if over 6 months, microchip with registration, and spayed or neutered- if not already, a voucher is provided.

Story
Cash came to the rescue when the shelter sent him to have his fractured leg amputated at our vet clinic. He had been shot, and we have no idea of the other abuse he had suffered, but he is initially afraid of new men (fine once he learns they mean him no harm). While he is not an aggressive boy, he acts as if he could tear into someone, which can be off-putting. He is fine with women, loving, outgoing, and cuddly, especially with his foster mom. We are helping him work onhis fear, which can/will be resolved with patience and TLC.Cash lives with lots of other dogs and gets along with everyone, large and small. He is playful and happy, can be as gentle or rough as needed, depending on who he is playing with. He walks fine on a leash and is good at going for rides when he gets a chance.He is crate trained and asks to go out if needed between potty breaks. He generally has good house manners, except when he counter-surfs for food when the opportunity presents itself.Cash is fully vetted, current with vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and on flea and tick, as well as heartworm, prevention.

Story
Skye is approximately eight months old and 50 lbs. as of 9/1/26. She was picked up as a stray by a kind citizen who was unable to locate her owner. Now we're helping them find Skye a new loving family to adopt her. She's house and crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped and will be spayed very soon. Skye does well with other dogs and is very playful and energetic. She's likely too much energy for very small children. She would benefit from active owner who has time to give her plenty of exercise.  Skye's adoption fee is $275 and you can apply to meet/adopt her here: Adoption Application - Legacy Humane Society We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.
