Story
This little 22 pound 11 yr old jack mix was found as a stray and brought into the shelter.. He has been with us since before Christmas, and has survived pneumonia and is doing great!! He recently had a cardiac echo which showed his heart is working well. Riley has completed his heartworm treatment in April and is ready for his forever home. Riley is a very sweet, quiet, wise old man. He loves to be petted but does not insist on it. He can live with other dogs or by himself. He doesnt start any trouble and he doesnt finish it. He stays out of it. He seems to have not had much attention in his life but warms up quicky to anyone who will pet him or offer him food. doesnt play with toys. Riley loves a nice small dog bed. Loves lying in the sun on the porch and exploring the backyard. Walks okay on lead, but he is really not a dog that likes to go for walks. Riley is fine being left home alone. He is house broken and goes to the door. Currently on cardiac meds to help his heart and hopefully after heartworm treatment, he may not need them.. Riley is just a kind, sweet old man that really doesnt ask for much. Great dog for a retired older couple that isnt too active. A fenced yard is a good idea for him. He has the old age cloudy dog eyes, and his hearing may be a bit dim, but he sure can find that piece of kibblle!!!! Currently fostered in Bradenton. Please consider this calm quiet old soul!

Story
Meet Buddy! 🐾❤️ Buddy is an 18-pound Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a personality that's as easygoing as they come! If you're looking for a loyal companion who enjoys equal parts fun and relaxation, Buddy may be your perfect match. While most JRTs are known for being on the go, Buddy prefers a more laid-back lifestyle. He enjoys a daily zoomie session to get his wiggles out, then happily settles in for a cozy afternoon on the couch by your side. 🛋️ Buddy's ideal home is one with adults or older children (10+) who can respect his space and appreciate his calm, independent nature. A quieter household where he can relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures would be a dream come true for him. If you're looking for a devoted best friend, a couch cuddle buddy, and a companion who will happily share life's adventures (and naps!), Buddy is ready to meet you! Ready to welcome Buddy into your family? Apply to adopt through FLUFF Animal Rescue today! 🐶💕 Adoption Process & Questionnaire: https://www.fluffanimalrescue.org/to-adopt My adoption fee includes my sterilization, microchip and registration, all core vaccines to date, dewormer and 1st month's Flea and Heartworm Preventatives. Thanks for considering adoption! *Information deemed reliable, but not guaranteed*

Hello!I’m Buddy! I’m an 8 year old JRT. 🐾My current family helped a family friend who is elderly and kept falling, by taking me in.They love me, they thought they could keep me.But I don’t appreciate little children (It’s ok Buddy we understand 😆).👶I am the chillest JRT you’ll ever meet, even my vet says so.

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
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Tiger 🐯🐾 I may be small, but my heart is *huge* 💛 I’m a 2-year-old Terrier/French Bulldog mix who wants to be your little sidekick through everything in life. If you work from home—perfect, because I will happily be your coworker, cuddle buddy, and biggest fan all day long 🥺 I’m super loving, loyal, and happiest when I’m right by your side. Whether we’re relaxing on the couch, going for a car ride, or just hanging out, I’m all in. Snuggles are my specialty 💕 I’ve got the perfect balance of chill and affectionate—I’m not over-the-top energetic, but I still enjoy being part of your day and joining you on adventures. I also walk great on a leash and do amazing in the car I’m crate trained, potty trained, and know some basic commands like sit and stay (I’m working on more!). I’m a smart girl and eager to keep learning 😌 I would do best as your one and only pup—I just love attention and would prefer all the cuddles for myself. I don’t mind a calm cat sibling though, as long as we share the love fairly My ideal home would be a smaller, loving household where someone is around often. I’d do great in an apartment or home, as long as I have my person close by. I’m truly happiest when I feel included and loved 🏡 A little note from my foster: Tiger has the biggest heart and so much love to give. She’s the ultimate cuddle companion and will be the most loyal little best friend you could ask for 🐯🐾💛✨ Adoption FEE: $500, which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.
