Story
Heathcliff is a 1–2-year-old 9-pound neutered male Maltese/Havanese mix.  Neutered, current on all vaccines, heart worm negative, microchipped crate trained and working on house training. Heathcliff is still learning about the world and will need a family that understands the time, patience and commitment that comes with a young adult dog. This will include potty training, learning basic commands, regular exercise, and lots of play time in a backyard with a secure wooden fence. Heathcliff is very curious and likes toys so make sure you have lots of toys to help him grow into a well manner adult dog. Heathcliff would do best with a dog his size, age and energy level. He loves to play. His breed will need regular grooming.  He is an escape artist, and we need to be monitor closely when doors open and close. Heathcliff is a barker when playing and when left alone so an apartment lifestyle is not ideal for him.  If you are ready to welcome this sweet boy into your home and help him grow into the best dog, he can be, he would love to meet you. If you are interested in meeting Heathcliff please submit an adoption application.      Adoption fee is 275.00       We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.

Story
Bruno been with me since February 18.He’s such a sweet boy. He loves to play and go for walks. He loves his toys and treats.he is crate trained, good with my girls, they’re older. He barks at strangers when they come into the house And also at kittens.He warmed up to us quickly but took a few weeks to warm up to our un-neutered male doodle. They became new fast friends and love to play with each other inside & out. He also not neutered.He is up-to-date on his shots. The home for him has a yard and a family that has the time to get to know him, and enjoy his rambunctious playful ways.His first home moved and couldn’t take him and his 2nd home named him Pickles and then Bear but only had him for a month before she decided that she was too busy for this lovable, playful guy.

But don’t let her tiny size fool you — Miso also loves to play with other pups! She’s a social butterfly who enjoys romping around with dogs big or small, then curling up for a nap once playtime’s over. She’s great with cats and gentle children too, making her the perfect little addition to a loving family. If you’re ready for a life filled with snuggles, happy zoomies, and endless sweetness, Miso is ready to be the very best part of your day — every day.   Located in Northern Texas — available for out-of-state adoption (transport fee applies) Adoption Application: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/13108/generic Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/14C2FGVGHQCWR?ref_=wl_share ##2455156##
