Welcome back Jax (Newton) ❤️ Born 5/19/23, approximately 20lbs, neutered male Introducing Jax! Jax is looking for a new family, he was adopted as a puppy but was returned to rescue. Jax is a Mountain Cur/ Australian Cattle Dog and Rat Terrier mix, which means he is driven and craves attention.

Jax would also excel at agility or a similar activity, he is a quick and agile guy. Jax can be a bit possessive of his person and his toys so he needs a person who while give him clear direction and corrections. He responds very well to verbal commands, he knows what is expected, but he likes to push those boundaries sometimes, he is still young after all. Jax is totally house and crate trained. He walks well on a leash and knows several commands such as sit, down, shake, drop it and stay. If Jax sounds like he would be a good fit for your life, he would love to meet you!

Story
Hi, I'm Janet Jackson! I'm 5 months old. I am building my career after having to take some time off. I was quite the dancer when my littermates and I performed as a group. I took "break a leg" seriously and actually broke my leg. LOL Now that my splint is off and the vet says I can take to the stage again, I'm ready to be a solo act. I like being the star of the show and I'm a Dancing Machine! I may not moonwalk like my brother Michael but I do like dancing in the sunshine! I LOVE all my fans including kids and other dogs too! I love squeeky toys, cuddles, kisses, and belly rubs. I'm know my A, B, Cs, & 1, 2, 3s. I'm good at singing when I have to go potty if I'm in my crate or going to the door to be let outside.  I don't remember my parents but my foster mom thinks maybe they were part Mountain Cur and Boston Terrier? I loved being a part of the Jackson 5 but I'm excited and can't wait to start my solo tour and 2 B Loved by a family of my own!  Contact my agent at Adopt A Pit to book me for your venue today!  All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   October 19, 2026, 12:18 pm

When a foster home opened up, we knew we had to help.  She's a wonderful dog who love people, get along well with other dogs, and is exceptionally well-trained. She simply want a soft place to land and a family to love again. Both Marley and Earl are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, 4DX negative, and current on ProHeart 12 and Bravecto.

Story
PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org **Meet Huckleberry** Huckleberry is a super goofy, 7-month-old boy with a heart full of sunshine and a personality that can’t help but make you smile. At 30 pounds and still growing, this happy pup is expected to mature into a medium-sized dog—big enough to keep up with adventures, but still the perfect size for snuggles on the couch. From the moment you meet him, Huckleberry’s joyful energy is impossible to miss. He greets the world with a silly grin, a wagging tail, and pure enthusiasm for life. Water is one of his greatest loves—whether it’s a kiddie pool, a sprinkler, or just a splashy bath, he lights up at the chance to get wet and play. People are his other favorite thing. He adores human company and has a natural gift for making friends. He’s wonderful with kids, gentle and playful around other dogs, and even gets along great with horses. If you’re kind and ready for a loyal companion, Huckleberry is already halfway in love with you. His story has a bittersweet beginning. Huckleberry came from a litter of eight puppies, but a long, scorching Texas summer and the harsh reality of parasites took most of his brothers and sisters. He’s one of the lucky ones who made it through, and that resilience shows in the big, goofy heart he carries every day. He doesn’t dwell on the hard times—he just keeps choosing joy, play, and connection. If you’re looking for a water-loving, people-adoring, endlessly happy pup who will fill your home with laughter and loyalty, Huckleberry just might be the perfect match.

Story
Thanks to a generous grant from the Grey Muzzle Organization, combined with an additional donation from a generous sponsor, my adoption fee is sponsored! My new family can take me home for $0! Meet Leo! Leo is an 8-year-old, 80-pound Pointer mix with a heart just as big as his long legs, looking for an adopter! While we're not exactly sure what breeds make up his mix, one thing is certain—there's definitely something much larger like Labrador Retriever than your average Pointer in there. This handsome guy loves having plenty of room to stretch out, especially when he's relaxing near his favorite people. Leo's superpowers include being an excellent canine companion (he gets along wonderfully with other friendly dogs), faithfully announcing when the mail has arrived, and doubling as a personal space heater—this boy is a furnace when it comes to cuddles! Leo currently takes a daily Prozac which he took to help him feel more comfortable around an energetic toddler, though he lived happily without medication for his first five years in the home. He will be ready to wean off the medication after adoption. Leo loves his daily walks and enjoys following every scent along the way. Spot a squirrel? Be prepared—he has a strong pull! Despite his enthusiasm, if he actually caught one, he'd probably just try to make friends, so hunting isn't exactly his calling. This smart boy is fully house-trained, knows his commands exceptionally well, and is convinced he understands English. He's mastered every treat puzzle he's been given in record time! Food is definitely the way to Leo's heart. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate best friend who loves to snuggle, keep you warm, and be by your side, Leo is ready to fill that role. This gentle giant is looking for a family that will appreciate his sweet personality, give him room to stretch those long legs, and enjoy years of love and companionship together. Leo is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is sponsored. 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.
