Story
Our prince was found as a stray. Hes about 8 years old and was found in DEPLORABLE condition. Foster mama says: Prince is very smart! He has learned to navigate the apartment without sight and has not bumped into anything since the first day (Or when his forgetful foster mom forgets to move the laundry hamper at the end of the night... Whoops! Sorry buddy.) He is also a wonderful companion animal. He loves to be next to you or near you on the couch or the bed while you are working or relaxing. He is so sweet and just loves nuzzling in fuzzy blankets. Prince would be a great companion for a retired couple, single person or family with older children. I would say younger ones might not be great because he still really doesn't like it when things go over his neck. And he will show you with a gentle bite (not hard and will not break skin, but his noise might be startling to some potential adopters. He would be great for someone who is worried about a dog running and not being able to chase him. This boy is not going anywhere! Haha We go outside and he likes to nose around the same ten feet, smell the grass, take his time sniffing everything and then toddles back inside. He is very sweet and loves to cuddle. He is going blind and deaf. History: He was completely and utterly matted, he had MAGGOTS in his eyes. What did he do to deserve this fate? It completely breaks our hearts as he is giving kisses to his foster mom and truly being the most perfect boy. He deserves the world. Are you meant to be his family?

Story
Oreo is a 2 month old Shihtzu! He came to us because his family found out they couldnt financially care for him. His foster family says:He is a love very chill for a puppy, content to be held & cuddled. Plays well with my chi mix pup. He is using the pee pads 50-60% of the time. Im not crate training him. He goes most places with me & sleeps through the night. He hasnt been left alone yet. He does whine when youre out of sight, so hes a little shadow. Hes a fur ball and prefers to spread out on the tile over a dog bed or blankets. I have 2 ppl Interested in adopting him but my husband (who has fallen for Oreo and that is huge consider this is the only dog in 6yrs that stole his ) says, no they arent worthy of him lol So take your time finding him the perfect home. Adoption fee: $1000 which includes his neuter, microchip and age-appropriate vaccines.

Shih Tzu Poodle (Miniature)

Male, 7 yrs 9 mos
Beverly Hills, FL

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bobbie was a stray and has had a very rough life. He had no trust in humans anymore. He has grown to trust his foster family, but would need an experience adopter who knows how to handle fearful dogs. He does not like to be picked up and we have to towel him so he will not try to bite. Bobbie is adorable and wants nothing more than to be with his person. He does not shed much and enjoys being outside, but in the shade or better yet in a hole. He is ok with most dogs, but tends to ignore them mostly. He does not like other dogs in his space.

Story
Spay/Neuter of dog is scheduled at a vet of our choosing and is part of the adoption fee - date will be on the adoption contract - this is if not already sterilized.   We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available.

Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com   Hey there, I'm Olivia, your future best friend wrapped in fur! At 5 years young, I bring a whole lot of sweetness and a dash of sass to the table. Picture this: a mostly shih tzu pup who's not a fan of wet grass (who is, really?) and has a knack for cozying up in snug spots – that's me! Now, let's talk about my journey. I've overcome neglect like a champ, battled a pesky skin infection, and emerged stronger and fluffier than ever. These days, I'm all about that chill life, seeking a loving home where I can be your loyal sidekick through thick and thin. Sure, I may take a moment to warm up to new faces – can you blame me with my background? But once I deem you worthy of my trust (and believe me, it's an honor), I'm all in, heart and paws. Lap dog? Nah, I'm more of a by-your-side, adventure-loving companion. Walks? Count me in! Car rides? I've got my own special seat and everything. Looking for a low-key buddy who's down for treats, butt scratches, and endless cuddles? Well, look no further, because I'm your girl. Let's make memories together, one tail wag at a time! Olivia's adoption fee is $600 - obedience training is required after adoption and fully enclosed front or backyard is also required  To apply to foster or adopt please fill out application at www.heidislegacydogrescue.com/apply-to-foster-or-adopt Thank you for completing the application.
