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.

Story
Meet Lulu It breaks our hearts to make this decision, but we’re looking for the perfect forever home for our sweet girl, Lulu. Lulu is a happy, loving, and energetic dog who brings so much joy wherever she goes. She loves spending time outside, running around, playing, and soaking up the sunshine. She has a big personality and an even bigger heart! With both of us working full-time and raising young children, we’ve realized that we can’t give Lulu the time, attention, and exercise she truly deserves. She would thrive with someone who has an active lifestyle, a fenced yard, or simply more time to spend playing and loving on her. This decision comes from a place of wanting what’s best for her, and we’re committed to finding a family who will cherish her as much as we do. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling, Lulu may be the perfect addition to your family. We would love to tell you more about her and make sure she’s the right fit.

Rat Terrier

Male, 4 yrs 5 mos

Story
Niko is truly the "best of both worlds"—a born lap dog with a lively interest in being active outdoors. This unique-looking 7-year-old is chock-full of an especially endearing personality. He is playful, loves car rides, tolerates baths well, and is cooperative when getting his harness on. In the home, Niko is generally low-maintenance. He is a gentleman indoors with perfect potty habits; he isn’t a particularly picky eater, can be trusted to roam free when alone, and loves a special spot to look out the window. Niko takes his role as a "watchdog" seriously and will alert you to noises at the door. While he can be vocal, he can respond well to a "quiet" command—even if he insists on getting the last word with some adorable, under-the-breath "woofs!" Niko's favorite activities are: being near you when you are seated, though not underfoot elsewhere; alternating brisk walks with exploratory sniffing; going to the dog park regularly; running around the house once a day hoping someone will chase him; and hiding parts of treats in couch cushions and his dog bed. While he occasionally enjoys a quick "zoomie" at the park, he spends most of his time patrolling the perimeter and investigating new scents, dogs, and people. He is comfortable around dogs of all sizes and respectful children aged 6 and older. However, Niko does feel it is necessary at times to correct dogs he perceives as having an unbalanced energy, or those who get too close to his person and the dogs he considers his friends. Because Niko can be sensitive to the busyness of parking lots, weekly landscapers, and frequent delivery trucks, he is looking for a detached home with his own yard. Niko is a smart, sweet, charming boy, a cuddle bug, and an outdoor enthusiast; but most of all, he is a loving little guy who needs a loving home. ##2280678##

Ruby's story is heartbreaking. She came from a backyard breeder whose owner sadly passed away. The family planned to euthanize her, but we couldn't let that happen. She now has a second chance- but she needs a foster to help her start this new chapter.

Story
Meet Pekoe (aka Pokey) If you’re looking for a gentle soul who will quietly steal your heart, meet Pekoe—better known around her foster home as Pokey because she does just about everything at her own leisurely pace. Pekoe is a Dachshund/Jack Russell mix who came to Dallas DogRRR from a heartbreaking backyard breeder hoarding case. For most of her life, she wasn’t treated like a beloved pet, and was simply expected to be a mama. Now it’s finally her turn to be loved. Since settling into foster care, Pekoe has slowly started coming out of her shell. She’s crate trained, potty trained, dog friendly, and has the sweetest, gentlest temperament. Even when she’s scared, she’s never been aggressive. She can be shy and startles easily, so she’d do best in a calm, patient home where she can continue building confidence. Her crate is her safe place, and you’ll often find her happily snoozing inside. Her favorite quirk? The fastest you’ll ever see Pekoe move is when she hears the squeak of a toy! She races over, proudly claims it, and carries it back to her bed. She’s become quite the little collector, carefully hoarding her favorite toys and balls. Her foster mom cleans out the stash every day… and every day Pekoe patiently brings every single one back. Watching Pekoe discover that life can be filled with kindness, soft beds, and love has been incredibly rewarding. She still has some blossoming to do, but she’s already proving what a sweet, loyal companion she can be. If you have a quiet home, a little patience, and a big heart, Pekoe is ready to spend the rest of her life finally being someone’s beloved girl.
