Story
Why you will love him... The Athlete: Ciabatta has plenty of energy and loves to run. Whether it’s a long walk, a jog, or just zooming around a big backyard, he is always up for an adventure. The Snuggle Bug: Once his energy is out, he’s a total softie. He is a world-class cuddler who loves to lean in for pets and snooze right next to his favorite humans on the couch. Great with Kids: Ciabatta is a sweetheart with children. He is patient, gentle, and thrives on the love and attention of a family. Ciabatta is a 10 year old Rat Terrier Mix looking for a new home due to no fault of his own. He had a run in with a wire fence that got wrapped around his nose  earlier in life and has left a small scar. He is sweet as they come. He just wants to sit in your LAP and cuddle. Apply online if interested in meeting Ciabatta: Adoption Application - Legacy Humane Society We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted.

Story
This adorable little girl is just over a year old and weighs about 12.5 pounds. She’s fully vetted, heartworm negative, microchipped, and making great progress with her potty training. Her adoption fee is only $25! She came from a hoarding situation where dogs were kept in crates in a small apartment, so crates aren’t her favorite place to be. But, it sometimes can be her safety place. Understandably, she’s still a bit nervous and learning to trust. Sometimes she’s too scared to be caught, but with patience, gentleness, and time, she’ll come around and show her true loving nature. Because of her background, she’s not a good fit for apartment living—she’ll need a secure backyard where she can safely explore and feel comfortable. She does best with dogs her size or larger, and would thrive in a calm, understanding home that’s willing to let her open up at her own pace. She’s not an “instant dog”—she’ll need time to trust and adjust—but once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with a lifetime of love and loyalty. Could you be the one to give this sweet girl the safe, loving home she deserves? Complete your application today at https://chloespetrescue.org/application

BREED-Rat Terrier Mix; SEX-Male; SIZE-Small; WEIGHT-13 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 4 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$250   Gus is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He has a calm, easygoing nature, and his idea of a perfect day is simply being close to his person—curled up in your lap or resting quietly by your side. Gus greets everyone with joy and genuine happiness, and his gentle presence has a way of making you feel instantly loved. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and warmly welcomes new fosters into his home with a kind and patient spirit. Gus does have an autoimmune condition that causes some crusting around his eyes and the sides of his mouth. This means he will need a little extra daily care, including gently cleaning his eyes and mouth with a warm cloth, as well as taking daily medication. The medication is quite manageable, with an average monthly cost of about $20. With this simple routine, Gus remains comfortable and continues to thrive. If you’re looking for a truly special dog—one who will return your love with endless affection and quiet companionship—Gus may be the perfect match for you.March 7, 2026, 2:41 pm

Story
This beautiful mama was part of a back yard breeder-hoarding case that brought her and 7 babies into the Dallas Dog family. Pekoe is a Dachshund/Jack Russel mix, just as sweet as can be but a little timid. She has few interactions with humans, just left outside to be a baby making machine. Pekoe deserves a life that provides soft beds, pampered care and lots of love. You can meet her by applying at www.dallasdog.org

Story
☕️💕 Meet the Tea Litter! 💕☕️ Meet Hibiscus, a little girl from the "Tea" litter. These babies are a Dachshund/Jack Russel mix. Born in the filth and neglect of a backyard breeder’s yard, they deserved so much more than the circumstances they were born into. The moment we learned about them, we stepped in and got this little family to safety. Since then, they’ve traded dirt and uncertainty for soft beds, full bellies, and the love of an amazing foster family. They’ve been learning that people can be kind, cuddles are wonderful, and the world is a much safer place than they ever knew. Now, these sweet little pups are healthy, happy, and getting ready for the best chapter of all—their happily ever afters. 🐾❤️ Like any puppies, they’re playful, curious, and full of silly antics that will keep you laughing. They can’t wait to find families who will cherish them for the rest of their lives and show them that their difficult beginning does not define their future. ✨ Their story started in a backyard. ✨ Their future belongs in a loving home. Could one of these little cups of sweetness be the perfect addition to your family? 🫖🐶💕 www.dallasdog.org/adopt Rld Photography TX, LLC These precious babies are just weeks old, but they’ve already overcome a heartbreaking start to life.

Our dogs are currently on heartworm preventative. Puppies receive 3 to 4 rounds of vaccinations depending on their age, and adults receive two rounds unless they've been with us longer than a year, in which case they receive the booster update.
