Story
This little 22 pound 8 yr old jack mix was found as a stray and brought into the shelter.. He has been with us a little over a month and is now doing as well as can be expected.. Rileys heart has been damaged by heartworm disease. He is not a candidate for fast kill treatment, and we are doing slow kill, which is just monthly heartworm prevention. He had a round of pneumonia, which has cleared and that is when we discovered that his heart is compromised. We are currently looking for a forever home for Riley, he is a hospice boy. He is on cardiac meds for his heart, and will be getting a cardiac echo in Feb to determine how damaged his heart is. This is a very sweet boy who asks for nothing . He does love pats on the head, he likes his belly rubbed. He loves to do short walks, lie in the sun. Good with other dogs, great appetite. He is housebroken and barks to go out, however he needs someone home that can let him out frequently as he is on lasix to keep his lungs clear. Riley is a wise old man, life has not been kind to him. He will give you all his love and he appreciates every minute he has left on the planet. If you are that special person that can be there for him and enjoy him please fill out an application. He is currently with 12 other dogs and even for him tho he tolerates it, you can tell he would love peace quiet and just a few less dogs. Currently fostered in Bradenton. He is a very special boy and we would love to see his time here made very special...

Story
Meet Lindor! 🧡 This sweet little guy has come such a long way. He was rescued with a group of dogs who were being kept in a metal shed and came to us pretty scared, not knowing what to think about people. But in just one month, he has blossomed more than we ever imagined! Lindor is only 12 lbs and is likely a terrier mix. He LOVES other dogs and has a blast playing with his friends. We originally required another dog in the home for him, but after spending time in one of our trusted foster homes, we think he’ll do just fine with or without a canine sibling. He adores his foster mom and is often found belly-up asking for scratches. When she picks him up and puts him back down, he jumps up asking to be held again ☺️ A fenced yard would still be a big bonus for him since he’s not the best on a leash just yet—but he’s learning and getting braver every day. ☀️ BONUS OFFER: Want to double the love? If you’re interested in adopting Lindor along with one of his girlfriends (Krackel or Cadbury 🍫), we’re offering a discounted adoption fee for a pair. Just a little idea 💡 Lindor is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. He’s in Tampa, and his adoption fee is $300. Apply here: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

Story
Rockwell – Small Dog, Big Personality Rockwell is a classic Jack Russell Terrier through and through—smart, spirited, and absolutely convinced he knows exactly how things should be done. This handsome little guy has plenty of charm, but he also comes with a bit of an attitude that will make true terrier lovers smile in recognition. Rockwell is not a “go with the flow” kind of dog. He likes structure, clear rules, and knowing where he stands. He can exhibit resource guarding behaviors, which means he needs an experienced, adult-only home that understands canine boundaries and is committed to providing consistency and leadership. With the right person, Rockwell will thrive in an environment where expectations are clear and routines are steady. Like many Jack Russells, Rockwell is intelligent and perceptive. He bonds strongly with his people and will do best with someone who appreciates his bold personality and is willing to continue working with him using positive reinforcement and firm, fair guidance. He isn’t looking to be the center of chaos—he’s looking to be the loyal sidekick to a confident human who understands that respect goes both ways. Rockwell may not be the right fit for every home, but for the right adopter—someone who values structure, enjoys a little sass, and understands terrier tenacity—he has the potential to be a deeply devoted companion. If you believe in giving dogs the leadership and guidance they need to succeed, Rockwell just might be waiting for you.

Story
We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available.   Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups.   Completion certificate for training needs to be emailed once complete.  When applying pictures/videos of your fully enclosed yard is needed. Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com WARNING - CUTE BONDED PAIR ALERT Peach is a devoted mother and a high-energy Jack Russell Terrier mix who leads her son Sprout on daily adventures. This duo is as tight as peas and carrots, and they love running around with a toy in their mouths at the same time, then snuggling up for a nap or bedtime. Peach greets life with a wagging tail, bunny-like hops, and a big, friendly smile. She grew up around other dogs and adores humans of all sizes, though her greetings can be a bit enthusiastic at first. With time and training, her manners will shine as brightly as her energy. Peach is housebroken, enjoys the doggie door, and knows a few tricks. She’s smart and confident, and she’s looking for a loving family who can provide a fenced yard and plenty of playtime to burn off her boundless enthusiasm. Sprout is Peach’s adventurous son and a lively Jack Russell Terrier mix who loves to zoom, chase leaves and lizards, and play fetch (though he’ll often fetch and bring the toy back a bit later!). Like his mom, Sprout greets life with a wagging tail, happy hops, and a big smile. He grew up around other dogs and thrives in social settings, big and small, though he can get a little overexcited when saying hello. Sprout is bright, eager to learn, and already knows a few tricks. He is housebroken and comfortable using a doggie door, and with patient training he’ll refine his manners even further. Sprout would be happiest in a home with a fenced yard where he can run freely and a family ready to keep up with his high energy and loving nature. Both Peach and Sprout are up to date on vaccinations, spay/neutered, microchipped and on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Both dogs are under 25 lbs. Peach approx DOB is Sept 2024 and Sprout's DOB is May 2025.

Story
Lulu is an adorable black terrier mix, around 1–2 years old, with a very gentle, snuggly nature. She was rescued as a stray in Puerto Rico and lived happily with a person for about a year before coming into foster care due to unexpected medical issues in that home. She is a true lap dog who finds comfort in being close to people and loves quiet moments of being held or snuggled under a blanket. Lulu is doing well in her foster home with kids and other dogs. She is still working on potty training and adjusting to the routine, but she has prior experience with potty pads and going outside, and she is progressing steadily. Lulu and Lily are a bonded pair who have been through a lot together, so keeping them as a pair is essential for their sense of security and happiness. They provide each other with confidence, comfort, and companionship, playing and napping side by side every day. The girls would do best in a home where someone is around often to offer reassurance and affection. They are sweet, loving dogs ready to bring warmth and double the devotion to a family that can welcome them both. Their combined adoption fee is $500. ##2650439##
