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
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
Meet Lulu (and her bestie Lily!)  — two tiny lovebugs ready to steal your heart! Lulu is an adorable black terrier mix, around 1–2 years old, with a snuggly soul and the softest fur made for cuddles. She was rescued as a stray in Puerto Rico and spent a happy year with her human before life took an unexpected turn. Now she’s ready to start a new chapter — this time, side by side with her best friend, Lily!  About Lulu: A total lap dog who loves nothing more than cozying up with her favorite person. Gentle, sweet, and happiest when she’s being held or snuggled under a blanket. Doing great in her foster home with kids and other dogs! Working on potty training and getting the hang of the routine like a little champ.  Better Together:Lulu and Lily are a package deal — and trust us, you’ll be so glad they come as a pair! These girls are inseparable and give each other confidence, comfort, and plenty of giggles. They play together, nap together, and melt hearts together daily.  Their Dream Home:They’d love a home where someone is around often to soak up their affection and return it tenfold. They’ll reward you with double the love, double the snuggles, and double the tail wags!  Lulu and Lily have so much joy to share and are waiting for the family that will let them keep writing their story — together. Their combined adoption fee is $500. Ready for twice the love and endless cuddles? These girls are ready to meet you!  ##2650439##

Story
Meet Krackel, Cadbury & Lindor 🍫💛 These three sweet souls are part of a group of 10 small dogs we recently rescued from a heartbreaking situation. They spent their early lives confined to crates under a carport and inside a metal shed, with very little human interaction and no experience with leashes or life indoors. Because of that, the world is still a little scary—but their hearts are very much open. Krackel (the tiniest scruffy girl), Cadbury (a taller, gray scruffy girl), and Lindor (a white and tan Chihuahua mix boy) are all about 1.5–2 years old and under 20 lbs. Though timid at first, they want to trust. They gently approach for affection, happily accept treats, and show us every day that they’re ready to keep learning—at their pace. They are sweet, sensitive dogs who will thrive in calm, patient homes with people willing to let trust grow naturally. Once they feel safe, their affection is incredibly rewarding 💕 Their ideal home: - No young children (they’re not aggressive—just scared of loud, fast movements) - Ability to safely crate them if young kids visit - Another friendly dog to help build confidence - A quiet, secure environment - A solid fenced yard is strongly preferred - Krackel & Lindor may do okay in an apartment or townhome with very secure leash routines - Cadbury is the most fearful and truly needs a calm home with a fenced yard They are all: ✔️ Spayed/neutered ✔️ Vaccinated ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Heartworm negative 📍 Located in Sarasota, FL 💲 Adoption fee: $350 each These little ones have been through so much, but they are ready to write a new chapter—with their people. If you believe love, patience, and consistency can change a life (or three), they’d love to meet you. 👉 Apply to adopt: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt
