Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Online Adoption Application The shelter called us to take Bubby. He is a great little dog but has mobility issues in his back legs.  It doesnt stop him from getting around though.  he goes down steps but then barks to get up the steps cause he just cant do it with his back legs.  He uses them, but then they give out. We had another little one like this so not sure if it was due to an injury or a disc problem.  He is sweet as can be and just a good boy.  He is probably a senior at 9 or so.  Happy, loves to eat, barks to go outside or get off of things he cant jump down from.  Smart Smart boy. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 16, 2025, 1:55 pm

Story
Come meet me and 100+ of my adoptable friends at Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue's MEGA adoption event, Home for the Holidays! Saturday, December 13th, 2025 at Paradise Island in Staten Island from 11am - 3pm! Meet Hans, A 5 year old, 16 pound Shih Tzu mix! Hans is a wonderfully sociable little guy who settles into new situations and environments with ease. He gets along beautifully with other pets, including cats, and already knows simple commands. With a bit more training, he’ll make an even more perfect companion. This sweet boy loves his walks! He can get a bit excited and pull at times, so some continued leash practice will help him thrive. At home, Hans is just as adaptable—he’ll happily sleep on his own bed or cuddle up beside you. He’s wee-wee pad trained, and if you have a yard, he’s equally happy to do his business outside. During the day, you’ll find Hans playing with his squeaky toys, taking cozy naps, and following you around the house. He’s always alert for treat time and loves being close to his humans. Hans is a loving, loyal pup waiting for his forever family. He’d be thrilled to explore trails, stroll through the park, and enjoy a life full of companionship. Could Hans be your new best friend? He is currently fostered in Staten Island NY. The adoption fee for this animal is $550. 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.
