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.

Story
Pirata is full of love and is eager to have some fun in a foster home while they recover from an upper respiratory infection. Reason for Foster: URI Foster Time Frame: 2+ weeks(The foster time frame may be shorter or longer depending on future rechecks and medical needs.) Foster Care Plan: Pirata is currently undergoing treatment for an upper respiratory infection, which is similar to a common cold. There is a possibility that they are contagious to other animals, so we strongly recommend keeping them separated in a bedroom or bathroom away from your personal pets until they have fully recovered. They will go home with medication and we will provide supplies and a medical consultation at pickup so you are fully prepared to care for this sweetie. How to take this pet home...* ADPOT: Pirata is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which allows prospective adopters to take pets home before they are available for adoption. Visit Operation Kindness and speak with our Client Services team. Foster-to-Adopt placements are first-come, first-served. * FOSTER: Interested in fostering this pet? Email foster@operationkindness.org.

I'm Benji, the master of mischief! My journey to the shelter? Oh, it's a funny tale. I once decided to explore the neighbor's house, thinking it was a new park. Turns out, not everyone appreciates a surprise furry guest during dinner! After a few laughs and a gentle escort home, here I am, waiting for someone who loves adventures and giggles as much as I do. If you're looking for a playful buddy who's always up for a game of fetch or a cozy snuggle, I'm your guy! Let's make every day fun together!June 14, 2026, 9:43 am
