Story
Meet Rottie! Your Three-Legged Wonder! Rottie is a 3-month-old, 20-lb Rottweiler boy who proves every day that a little difference can’t stop a whole lot of fun! This adorable guy doesn’t let having three legs slow him down. He loves running around, playing with his toys, and making the most of every moment. If there’s fun to be had, you can bet Rottie will be right in the middle of it! Three legs, four paws’ worth of personality, and a heart that’s ready to love! Rottie has been fostered with small and medium-sized dogs and gets along wonderfully with everyone. He also loves people and is always happy to make new friends. Whether he’s playing with his furry buddies or spending time with his humans, Rottie is ready to be part of the action. Like any young puppy, Rottie is still learning all about this big, exciting world. He spends his days in a puppy pen, so his new family will need to continue working on crate training and potty training. Once he’s a little older, he’ll also be ready to start learning his leash-walking skills. With patience, consistency, and plenty of encouragement, he’ll be on his way to becoming the best little companion! Rottie may have three legs, but he has absolutely no shortage of love, joy, or puppy spirit. He’s looking for a family who will celebrate his abilities, cheer him on as he grows, and give him all the love a sweet boy like him deserves. Could Rottie be the missing piece of your family? He’s ready to run straight into your heart! Rottie is currently being fostered in Cincinnati, OH and his adoption fee is $450. "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.

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.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Missy! Must go to a home with NO other animals.  Missy LOVES people and kids, and everyone who meets her falls in love with her bubbly, affectionate personality. She is a very loving girl who is happiest spending time with her people. Missy is high energy and would thrive with an active family who can give her plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. She loves her toys, enjoys carrying them around, and walks well on leash, although she can pull and is quite strong. She is mostly potty trained and may have a few accidents while learning a new routine. She can also get excited and jump up when greeting people, so she'll need someone willing to continue working on her manners. Missy has one very important requirement: she must be the only animal in the home. She is aggressive toward other dogs and small animals and cannot live with dogs, cats, or other pets. She must go to a home with a fully fenced, secure backyard that she cannot escape from and an active family who understands and respects her needs.  Missy is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, vaccinated, and current on ProHeart 12 and Bravecto. Her adoption fee is $300. Apply to adopt Missy at www.adoggie4you.org.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet Batman! The Dark Knight with a BIG soft spot for people! Gotham City has a new hero, and he's looking for a family to call his own. Batman is a handsome 3-year-old, 50-pound Lab/Rottweiler mix with a sleek black coat, a confident strut, and a personality that's anything but mysterious. This boy doesn't need a Bat-Signal to find his people. He's ready to make friends with just about everyone he meets! Batman is super social, friendly, and absolutely loves people. Whether you're a longtime friend or someone he's meeting for the very first time, he's happy to say hello! He's the kind of guy who makes an impression wherever he goes, and with that handsome face, he's pretty hard to forget. And what's a superhero without a little adventure? Batman LOVES the water! Whether it's splashing around or cooling off on a warm day, he's ready to dive into the fun. He also walks well on a leash, so neighborhood strolls and outdoor adventures are right up his alley. When it comes to meeting other dogs, Batman can be a little confident and bossy at first, so thoughtful introductions and compatible canine friends will be important. Cats, on the other hand? Let's just say Batman has decided that some mysteries are best left unsolved. He's afraid of them, so a cat-free home would likely be the best fit. Batman is looking for a family who will appreciate his outgoing personality, include him in their adventures, and give him all the love a good boy deserves. He's got the charm, the confidence, and the heart to make a wonderful companion. You don't need to live in Gotham to adopt a superhero. You just need a little room on the couch and a whole lot of love to give! Apply to adopt Batman at haydudeequine.org!

Story
So, as you can see I am a BIG BIG GUY(130#)!!! Like the German Rotties, I have a BIG old HEAD and a propensity to protect my people....... I need just the right home, no other dogs please. I was not socialized with other dogs while growing up and am a big boy and so introducing to other dogs is a challenge for the rescuers and therefore we are looking for a single dog home. I am a very typical rottie and was kept as a protector of the property. I LOVE my people and honestly would love to be a lap dog, lol, but I also need a couple or single who is a strong leader, who really understands my breed and who will assure that I stay safe and others do as well. Now, I have a sweet and loving side, and my friends love that about me ;) But look at my face, without my toothy grin, and you know they understand that I am a serious guy :) I love my peeps and am ready for just the right place. I can only be adopted in TX and HAVE to be met and introduced and spend time with me before the rescue will approve my adoption. So only the strong need apply!! You will get an AMAZING and DEDICATED and EXTREMELY LOYAL DOG! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX only)

Story
The classic debate- left Twix versus right Twix... Either way, it'll be delicious!! Just like a Twix bar, I am super sweet, a little salty, and really ooey gooey. I was found when I was 10 months old and brought to God’s Dogs Rescue. I was adopted for about a year but have, otherwise, spent my life in the rescue system. I'm now entering my golden years and have been overlooked for long enough! I have lived with many dogs in the past but, at my age, I prefer those that are lower energy and will live and let live. I would also be fine as the only dog. I am a generally lazy guy but I still have a stubborn streak and will assert myself if needed. I'm not a fan of smaller animals (cats, birds, etc.) unless we are talking about favorite snacks. In my foster home, I am an easy-going guy and the BIGGEST LOVER. I get so excited, wiggly, and bouncy with my humans. They give the best back scratches, I give the best hair tumbleweeds. I am also amazing on leash so walks are a breeze. My favorite way to get around though, is a ride in the car. I love nothing more than cruising around the neighborhood with the wind in my ears. I am so ready for my new AND FINAL home! Choose me and I will melt your heart like a Twix bar in the Texas sun. Don't hesitate, ADOPT ME!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters! I am GhostBuster and I have a neat, sad and then happy story to tell you... So hang on for the ride!! But realize my NEXT BEST CHAPTER can include you!! In the sweltering heat I was blessed enough to CHOOSE the Post Office to hang out in. I was there for months, and no one could get me...and they tried but they deliver MAIL, not SAVE DOGS for a living..:) The Post Master knew about a local rescue, and they tried to help me too...then I was hit by a car and injured... AND I found a girlfriend and she was my lucky break, literally. The Police Department was finally able to save us and away we went to the rescue! My sweet girlfriend, Avian, was adopted before me, but I believe this is MY TIME!! Here is what my rescue friends describe me.."GhostBuster is always happy to see you, his eyes shine, tail wags, and his energy boosts whenever he sees his favorite people! He has the subtle markings of a Rottweiler or a Doberman and the temperament of a lab. He had an injured hip when saved but he has had surgery and has had his heartworms treated. During all this time he has started to know what a kind hand is like, some love, and real food! Now he can learn what a real family is :) Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Reyna — this queen is part Rottweiler, part athlete, part professional couch companion, and 100% good girl. Reyna is beautiful, low-shedding, crate trained, potty trained, and walks on a leash like she personally watched every episode of The Dog Whisperer. She loves running, hiking, swimming, fetch, and basically any activity preferred by those mysterious people who voluntarily do cardio when absolutely no one is chasing them. She’s great with kids and medium- to large-sized dogs. However, in true Rottie fashion, Reyna firmly believes squirrels, cats, and other tiny fast-moving creatures are highly suspicious and should be investigated at full speed. Because of this, a home without cats is a must. The squirrels, however, have been warned and remain fair game. After a full day — or at least a good walk and a game of fetch — this gal is more than happy to crash on the couch with her people for cuddles and a full-on Love Island binge session. Athletic, gorgeous… and emotionally available? Honestly, Reyna is setting unrealistic standards for the rest of us.

Hay Dude Equine Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Texas. All of our dogs live in foster homes in TX and are transported to their new states once adopted. All adopters must be 21+. Applications can be found at haydudeequine.org. 🐾 Hi, I’m Byrdie! ❤️ I’m Byrdie, a 2-year-old brindle Staffy/Boxer mix, and I have a very important announcement to make: **I am a lover, NOT a fighter!** 🥰 I’m a gorgeous girl with a beautiful brindle coat, but my favorite thing about myself is my heart. I’m super sweet, silly, and absolutely love my people. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a minute and I’ll warm right up. Once I decide you’re my friend, prepare yourself for lots of love! I also really like other dogs and am great with my canine friends. I’m even good with horses, which is pretty impressive if I do say so myself! 🐴 Now, let’s talk about my hobbies. **I LOVE THE WATER!** 💦 And I REALLY, REALLY LOVE CAR RIDES! 🚗💨 Seriously, if you say the words “go for a ride,” I will be ready before you are. I’m pretty sure every car ride is an adventure waiting to happen. My rescue friends found me in the middle of a highway late one night, right in front of the rescue’s gate. I have no idea how I got there or where I came from, but apparently I knew exactly where I needed to be. ❤️ Now I’m hoping my next stop is **my forever home**. I’m looking for someone who wants a sweet, silly, affectionate girl to join them for adventures, car rides, water fun, and plenty of loving. I promise to be your best friend and make you laugh every single day. **I’m Byrdie—and I’m ready to fly straight into your heart.** 🐦❤️

PLEASE NOTE: We are a Texas-based rescue. This dog is currently in Texas and will be transported to your state once adopted. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. Meet Kenny! Hi! I'm Kenny, an 18-month-old Doberman Pinscher/Catahoula mix with a heart as big as my goofy personality. If you're looking for a best friend who's always ready to play, learn, and cuddle, I think we might be the perfect match! Want to know the quickest way to my heart? Throw a ball! Seriously—I could chase one all day if you'd let me. And if you happen to have a treat, let me show you my signature move... I spin! I've perfected it, and I'm pretty sure it's impossible not to smile when you see it. I'm not just fun—I'm a gentleman, too. I'm crate trained, house trained, and I know how to be a respectful member of the family. I get along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids, so I'd fit right into just about any home. When playtime is over, I have one special request: scratch my forehead. That's my favorite spot, and I'll happily lean in for as many forehead rubs as you're willing to give. It's my favorite way to unwind after a day of adventures. I'm the kind of dog who wants to be part of everything you're doing. Whether it's playing fetch in the backyard, going for walks, hanging out with the family, or relaxing at home, I'm happiest when I'm with my people. So, what do you think? If you're looking for a loyal, playful, well-mannered companion with a few fun tricks and a whole lot of love to give, I'd love to come home with you. I'll bring the toys—you bring the forehead scratches! 🐾💙

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet David! A little faith, a lot of heart, and a Goliath-sized amount of LOVE! You know the story of David and Goliath? Well, our David has already faced his own giant challenge: spending nearly FOUR YEARS in an animal shelter waiting for someone to choose him. Somehow, through all those days of waiting, this incredible boy never lost his love for people, his love for other dogs, or his joy for life. If that's not a victory worth celebrating, we don't know what is! David is about 5 years old and weighs 55 pounds, with a handsome brown-and-white coat, a big smile, and a heart even bigger than his Goliath-sized dreams. He's a happy-go-lucky, tail-wagging, everybody's-my-friend kind of guy who seems to believe the best is yet to come. He's wonderful with people, kids, and other dogs, and he's ready to bring his sunshine-filled personality to a family of his own. After spending so much of his life in a shelter, David deserves to discover all the little things that make a dog's life wonderful: a soft bed, family walks, toys that belong to him, and people who love him just as much as he loves them. And there's one thing that makes David happier than just about anything else in the world: WATER! Pools, splashing, puddles, or any chance to make a little watery mischief, this boy is ready to dive right in! If you're looking for a companion for outdoor adventures and summertime fun, David would be thrilled to join your team. It's hard to believe a dog who's spent nearly four years waiting for a family can still greet the world with so much happiness and trust. But that's David. No bitterness, no giving up, just a whole lot of love waiting for someone to finally say, "You're home." David has waited long enough. He doesn't need to defeat a giant; he just needs one person to believe in him and give him the chance he's been waiting for. Let's help this David win his greatest victory yet: a FOREVER HOME! Apply to adopt David at haydudeequine.org. He's ready to trade shelter days for family days, and we can't wait for his happily-ever-after!
