Story
Formie is a gentle giant weighing about 97 lbs. He loves to snuggle, lounge with his people, and go for walks, though he tires fairly quickly. He loves everyone he meets and does great with other dogs. He also likes cats, although he may chase them!Formie is completely house trained and has always been trusted to roam freely, even when home alone for 8–10 hours. He doesn’t get into trash or destroy things, although he will happily destroy dog toys to find the squeaker! Tough bones are his favorite.Formie has been with me since 6 weeks old and has lived in homes and apartments. He has been especially sweet with my daughter and allows her to pet, hug, and touch him all over. He understands “gentle” and takes treats carefully.He does well at the vet and knows sit, wait, lay down, turn around, shake, “go,” and “no bark.” He has environmental allergies that can cause skin irritation/infections but does well with allergy treatment and regular care.Formie is as close to perfect as you can get

Story
Meet Mudge! Momma Mudge is a 5 year old, 85 pound Mastiff Mix. "Mudgey" came into rescue super pregnant and gave birth just hours after entering her foster home. She had a very long and difficult birth, but ended up successfully raising three adorable puppies! Those puppies were all adopted into their forever homes and now it's Mudge's turn! Mudge is a very relaxed girl, perfectly content to snooze on the couch or sunbathe outside. While she likes to take walks, she does pull her leash quite a bit, so she will need some additional training with her forever home to become her best self on a stroll. Mudge's ideal home would have a fenced in yard for her to explore and sunbathe in! Mudge does great in her crate and will go in there on command. She sleeps in her crate at night without making a peep! Mudge has had minimal bathroom accidents while in her foster home. Mudge is fostered with other dogs, cats and kids. Mudge has been fantastic with all humans in her foster home - she especially loves her 7 and 11 year old human foster siblings. She is a great shadow with her people, following them around from room to room to make sure no one is doing anything too exciting that she may need to involve herself in! Mudge does well with the foster dogs in her home that are more calm and relaxed. She can get a little cranky with her younger, more energetic canine friends get in her face or in her space and will warn them to back off. Ideally, Mudgey would share a home with another older, relaxed dog that is happy to co-exist, or have a forever home all to herself. She has met two kittens while in foster care and is very interested in figuring out just what the heck those little creatures are! Mudge has been through it, but through it all, she has been resilient and sweet. She is so ready to find her forever home and live her best days - just as she deserves! If Mudge seems like a good fit for your family - apply today! Mudge's adoption fee is $275. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

Story
BONDED PAIR WITH LUTHER (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/37838939-cincinnati-ohio-labrador-retriever-mix). Lenny is a very sweet "gentle giant" who loves a good lean to show you he loves you. We love our Lenny so much, but since we had our 2 kids we have not been able to give our pups the attention they deserve. Lenny is a big guy and is slightly blind, so walks slowly and takes a while to get the lay of the land. He's a big couch potato otherwise, and loves to get pets and snuggles. Lenny is great with other dogs and kids, but does tend to be shy with other dogs and given we adopted him from SPCA, has some anxiety before he feels comfortable. Because he is shyer and more timid, we'd love to keep Lenny with his older brother, Luther (also listed on adoptapet), so please consider if you can take both pups home to a loving home!

Story
Finn may look like a rockstar with his striking Mastiff–Shepherd good looks, but at heart, he’s a big, soft lovebug. Weighing in at about 60 pounds, Finn has grown into a handsome boy with a beautiful gray and tan coat, soulful eyes, and an even bigger personality. Despite his star-quality appearance, Finn is more of a laid-back, easygoing guy—think Eeyore vibes, but with engines revved and ready to love. From the moment he wakes up, he’s prepared to shower his people with affection… and trust us, it’s A LOT of love! Finn does well with other dogs and does need a slow, proper introductions to new friends—both two-legged and four-legged. Once he knows you, he loves you deeply. He’s happiest when he has a buddy (human or canine) to share his world with. Affection is Finn’s specialty. When someone comes to greet him, he lights up, runs over with enthusiasm, and hands out slobbery kisses and big hugs like they’re backstage passes. His joy is genuine, his heart is huge, and he’s always thrilled to see his people. If you’re looking for a big, lovable, slightly goofy rockstar who will adore you endlessly, Finn is ready to take center stage in your heart. Local adoption only $300 (in TX)

Story
Hi, I’m Luke, and I’m a big, lovable boy tipping the scales at just over 100 lbs! Don’t let my size fool you—I’m a happy, easygoing pup who just wants to play, explore, and cuddle. I’m all about the good things in life: squeaky toys, water play, long walks, and best of all—snuggle time on the couch. I’m a pro at giving hugs (though I’m working on not jumping up too hard to give them—oops!). I get along great with other dogs and kids, but because of my size and enthusiasm, I’d do best with older children who won’t get accidentally knocked over during playtime. I’m crate trained, housebroken, and walk nicely on a leash—unless there’s a squirrel… then it’s game on! I do have a slight prey drive, so a little guidance goes a long way. If you’re looking for a big-hearted, playful companion to fill your home with love (and maybe take up some space on your couch), I’m your guy. Let’s make forever happen! 🐾 Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
