Story
Looking for a dog to add to your family? Meet Denver! ❤️🐾🐶 We've been fostering him for 2 weeks and he is the sweetest and most gentle boy. He is around 8 years old. While he doesn't have that crazy puppy energy anymore, he still loves to gallop in the grass, carrying his toys or sticks around and he zooms around like a champ. My favorite thing about him is how he carries around a toy in his mouth all over the house and his yard.🧸 The shelter found him in an abandoned car. He is very loving, calm, and gentle with people. He knows sit, paw, laydown, and a partial roll over. He is potty and crate trained. He has not yet been around other dogs or kids since we've had him. Please reach out to me if you or anyone you know is interested in meeting him! Text Christina at 513-739-1363 Video at https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18ZDBQnPFj/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Story
Meet Charlotte! 🩷 Charlotte is a 7-year-old, 35lb Mini Goldendoodle with a gentle soul and a heart full of potential. After spending her life in a puppy mill, she’s finally getting the chance to discover what it means to be a beloved family member. Charlotte is understandably shy when meeting new people and experiencing new things, but beneath her timid exterior is an incredibly sweet girl who wants to trust and be loved. She absolutely enjoys the company of other dogs and looks to them for confidence and guidance. While she hasn’t quite figured out how to play yet, she’s watching and learning every day. This special girl is beginning to explore all the simple joys of being a dog. She’s already mastered jumping up on the couch and is discovering that soft blankets, comfy spots, and loving humans are pretty wonderful. Charlotte still has many “dog things” left to learn, and her future family will have the privilege of helping her experience them for the first time. Charlotte is crate trained and does well with her house training when taken outside on a regular schedule. Because she can be nervous and may startle easily, she requires a physically fenced yard where she can safely explore and build confidence. Charlotte is looking for a patient, understanding home that will celebrate every small victory and allow her to blossom at her own pace. Watching her discover the world is incredibly rewarding, and with love, time, and kindness, this sweet girl is sure to continue coming out of her shell. Could Charlotte be the one you’ve been waiting to help write her happy ending? 🐾💕 Charlotte is fostered in the Cincinnati area. Her adoption fee is $450.00. 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.

Story
ZIGGY is a beautiful, shy girl looking for a home. She's around 5 years old and 34 pounds. We do know a bit of her history, her mama was a pure-bred golden retriever, so her daddy must have been a smaller dog to account for her size. You can see the golden undertones in her gorgeous medium-length coat. Ziggy spent her life living on a farm and as a result she's shy in new surroundings and when meeting new people. She was surrendered to a rural shelter and we pulled her because we knew she would crumble in that environment. She has a lovely disposition and so wants to trust and be loved. She needs a home with a patient adopter willing to take some time to earn her trust. Ziggy seeks out the companionship of other dogs and needs a home with another friendly dog who can help her navigate life. She needs a home with a physically-fenced yard. If you'd like to meet Ziggy and you're willing to take the time to earn her trust, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Ziggy at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate. Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 26, 2026, 8:38 pm
