Story
Meet Misty! She's a smart lady who is smart as a whip! She's crate trained, mastered many commands (sit, down, off, mat, enough, go to your room, here, all done- more than most kids :). She loves to run, play fetch and be wherever you are! She's a year and a half old, and was lucky enough to have professional training donated to help her find her forever home. Whoever adopts her will receive at least one free hand off session from her trainer to help her transition go perfectly! Her ideal family would be somewhat active (she needs to run around a yard at least a few times per day). She gets along well with other dogs, but calmer dogs are best. Misty loves to play, but she can get very excited if the other dog is too energetic! She would do well with older children. Younger children and cats would require a lot of supervision. Her trainer thinks she would be a great agility dog, but she is smart enough to do anything you want to train her to do! She will require some active parenting to teach her the rules of your house, because she is so smart, she may try to make her own activities if nothing fun is provided! She's potty trained now (we had some overnight accidents until she started going in her crate at night). She's a great dog with a good head on her shoulders, and she wants to know if you are the one for her! $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

Sheldon was found on the side of the road with his sister. From what we see so far, he is a little nervous at first but warms up quickly. He will likely be a larger dog as he is already 19.5 pounds at 13 weeks.   March 4, 2026, 4:05 pm

Story
Name:  Lucy Age: 2 years Weight: 95 lbs Adoption Fee: $350.00 Good with Dogs?  Yes, but she can be a little pushy so a mellow dog would be okay   Good with cats?  Yes   Good with kids?  Yes, but due to her size she needs a home with kids who are at least 5 years old and used to being around dogs    Lucy was surrendered to a shelter when her owners were no longer able to care for her   She was very thin and had a serious case of happy tail (tail damaged from hitting it on things and it wouldn’t heal).   She is now a healthy weight, has a nub tail and we did a Gastropexy (stomach tacking) when she was spayed).  We were told she has a chicken allergy so she’s been eating lamb and rice food, with no issues.     She has no idea how big she so her goal in life is to be a lap dog.   Lucy is sweet and loves being the center of attention.     Don’t wait!  Get your application in now for this amazing dog.  Lucy is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested, micro chipped and had gastropexy surgery.   Her adoption fee is $350.00.     Adoption Process: Step 1:     Complete a "no obligation" application located on our website at pawprintsnky.com under the applications tab. Step 2:     PawPrints will review the application, verifying Vet and personal references as well as landlord requirements/restrictions (if applicable) Step 3:     IF your application is approved, we will call you to schedule a meet and greet for you to meet the pet. &#226&#128&#139Step 4:    If the meet and greet goes well, we will schedule the home visit.          October 12, 2024, 12:11 pm

Denali

Anatolian Shepherd Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 4 mos
Cincinnati, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Denali! Denali is a 3.5-month-old, 35 lb. Anatolian Shepherd mix with the most unique look — a large-breed pup in a low-rider, long body (we suspect he may be mixed with something like a Basset Hound!). He’s truly one of a kind. Denali loves being part of a pack. He absolutely enjoys playing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with active canine companions and kids to grow up with. He’s fun-loving, playful, and full of personality. He responds well to correction and can be redirected easily. He would do best with an experienced owner who understands how to appropriately correct and guide Denali. In just two weeks, Denali has made incredible progress — it’s truly night and day from where he started. Any minor behaviors we’ve seen are already improving and are expected to continue fading with time, consistency, and structure. Denali was found as a stray, but you’d never guess it from his adventurous spirit. He isn’t afraid to explore new environments and has already learned to use the stairs in just a day! He uses pee pads and is picking up house training quickly. He is crate trained, though he does have a little separation anxiety likely due to his early circumstances. With patience and reassurance, he continues to gain confidence. His superpowers include epic puppy zoomies, bouncing all over the house, and bringing nonstop joy with his playful energy. He loves teething toys, tennis balls, and anything that squeaks. Despite loving other dogs, Denali is very human-oriented. He adores his people and just wants to please them. He thinks he’s a lap dog and would happily snuggle up on the couch to watch TV with you after a day of adventures. Denali is happiest when he’s learning new tricks, exploring with his humans, or cuddling close. He needs a patient, confident handler who can continue to help him grow into the loyal, devoted companion he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a unique dog with a huge personality, playful spirit, and endless love to give, Denali may just be your perfect match. Denali is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. His adoption fee is $275.00. 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.
