Story
Mylo was my mother’s dog. She has multiple myeloma and can no longer care for him and we are unable to have pets in our residence. Mylo is loved and needs someone who will be patient with him as he is very timid at first when meeting new people. When he opens up he is a lovable ball of energy that loves to run and play with toys or other dogs. Mylo is a little guy with a big bark wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s probably actually afraid of flies lol. We just really want the best home in the world for him as my mother would want.

Story
Bowie is a 20lb Terrier mix (Vet thinks Jack Russell mix) about 2-3 yrs old looking for someone very patient. He was abused and then we believe he was let out to fend for himself and from what we see, he had a tough time on the streets by himself. When Bowie first came to us as a stray, we did everything we could to reunite him with his family, he was posted on over 50 social media sites, he was registered with every shelter within 50 miles just in case his family called the shelters looking for him. No one ever came forward. He has gone from a scared, growling, wanting to bite if you got near him little boy, to now being a lot more socialized, trusting us, sitting on our laps, wanting to play and just being a great rescue. It will take time for him to trust you, but once he does he is your best friend. Bowie gets along with our rescues here but we do notice that he gets a little attitude when we are showing the other pups attention. He really is just looking for attention and he is picky about who he shares that attention with. He also has some food aggression with other dogs, we can take his food away with no issues but he growls if any other dog tries to get near his food. We solve that by feeding him in another room and we do not keep food down in the house. He needs the perfect family to show him lots of love and attention and he will be the greatest companion pup to that family! Adoption fee $350 (We prefer that he is an only dog and all attention goes to him) He loves unconditionally once he trusts you.

Story
He is a special needs dog totally blind, though you would never know it. He navigates the house and yard like any other pet. Only if you move things around it takes him a few days to adjust. Totally house broke and crate trained. I only crate him at night. He lost his eyesight in a car crash that killed his owners, and he found himself at the animal shelter. I adopted him knowing he was blind, but not knowing I would be allergic to him, if not for the allergies I would not even think of rehoming him. He is good with kids and other animals. Loves everyone. He is seven years old and in good health. He would be great for an older couple, man or woman, although he loves my children.

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
Arielle is such a joy to be around, she is absolutely everything you could want in a puppy. Playful, sweet, lovable, curious and cuddly!! She would do well as an apartment dog or huge home. She does great with the other puppies in the rescue and tried to play with the big dogs too ( don’t tell her she is tiny!!). Arielle came to us from Alabama where she was in a shelter another rescue pulled her and we got her on transport to Florida. As Sweet as she is and as much as she is loved and rescue, she needs to find her own home, hopefully a home where they admire her eye makeup as much as we do 😜 Her adoption donation is $450 If you are interested in adopting her, please make sure to include your phone number in any and all responses or questions
