Story
Walter may be a little shy and unsure at first, but give him some patience, love, and reassurance, and you’ll get to see his sweet personality blossom. Once he knows he’s safe, this little guy is happiest curled up beside his person, enjoying a cozy nap and simply being close to someone he loves. Walter is kennel trained and does well with other dogs, cats, and kids. He’s a gentle little guy who doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place to land and someone who will love him unconditionally. Just look at that sweet face… you can almost see him hoping that his person is out there. Walter deserves a family who will give him the time and love he needs to feel safe, and in return, he’ll give them his whole heart. Local adoption fee together is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee together is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Mustard is a sweet older gentleman who believes life is best enjoyed at a slower pace. This calm little guy is pretty much a professional couch potato—give him a comfy spot to curl up and he’s perfectly content! Mustard is visually impaired and needs daily eye drops for dry eye, but he gets around and enjoys life just fine. He does best with a calm routine and gentle handling, as fast movements can make him nervous. He is good with other dogs, especially when they respect his slower pace and personal space. Mustard is pee-pad trained and will also potty outside when taken out on a leash. He hasn’t quite learned how to let you know when he needs to go outside yet, so his new family will need to keep him on a consistent routine. Mustard isn’t looking for a busy, action-packed life. He’s looking for a soft couch, a peaceful home, and someone who will love and spoil him through his golden years. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED ADOPTING ARLO, PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO READ ABOUT THE PROCESS AND FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. www.furkidrescue.org Arlo was rescued in Mississippi. He is cute as can be and is very sweet with his foster mom. He loves to play and engage with the other dogs. However, he has had several failed adoptions- his personality completely changes when being left with new people, and he needs time to settle in- and that means resisting to try to cuddle the cute small fluffy dog. He’s got a big personality, and he is clear with communication, that he needs time and space. We are looking for an adopter who can follow direction or has previous experience with a behaviorally challenging dog. We think once he feels comfortable, he will shine just like he does with his foster mom.

Story
Meet Teddy! Age: 2 years Weight: 13 lbs If you're looking for a happy little shadow who will happily cover you in kisses, Teddy just might be your perfect match! Teddy is a sweet, easy-going boy with a medium energy level and occasional bursts of playful zoomies. He absolutely loves toys, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is happiest curled up in your lap or giving you endless face kisses. (Seriously... endless! ) Teddy gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and respectful children over 6 years old. He's mostly house-trained and does great when reminded to go outside, although he doesn't yet go to the door to let you know he needs to potty. Teddy is a very special little guy. While he has no medical issues, it's believed he may have experienced oxygen deprivation at birth or another early trauma. Because of this, he sometimes looks to another dog for cues on how to "be a dog." Having a confident canine companion helps him thrive. A few things to know: Loves: Toys, lap snuggles, face licking, and Pill Pockets! Not a fan of: Grooming. Eats: He's a grazer and likes to snack throughout the day. Crate: He hasn't needed to be crated. Teddy's perfect home would be one where someone is home more often than not, has plenty of patience, and already has another friendly dog to help him build confidence and continue learning. If you have room in your heart for this lovable little guy, Teddy will reward you with unwavering loyalty, constant companionship, and enough kisses to last a lifetime. Apply at Chirp.me/LDR Our adoption process starts with our application. Once the application is approved, a member of Legacy will contact you to set up a home visit. The home visit usually last 1-1.5 hours and is to make sure our dog and any current dogs/cats are getting along, as well as both of us agreeing it's a fit. At this time the adoption fee is due, and begins the 2 week trial. We will check in during the 2 week trial. If it's not working, our dog is returned to the foster home and all except $100.00 $75 if Senior of the adoption fee is returned. At the end of the 2 week trial, you decide if you will finalize the adoption - if finalized, the Adoption Contract is signed and all medical records are turned over to you. If at any time you need to rehome the dog it contractually needs to be returned to Legacy Dog Rescue. ADOPTION FEE's: Puppies under 6 months: $199.00 Adults: $150.00 Seniors (over 7 yrs): $99.00 If you are interested in one of our dogs please fill out an application: https://form.jotform.com/193425528783165

Story
Meet Mitzi At 8 years old and just 10 pounds, Mitzi is a sweet Shih Tzu mix who believes life is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. This little girl is low-key, gentle, and happiest when she can curl up beside her person for a cozy nap. Mitzi is starting to come out of her shell and discover her playful side. She enjoys being around other dogs and is beginning to have fun playing — although, naturally, a good play session is best followed by a nice long nap! Her favorite places to relax are the couch and the bed, where she can happily snooze the day away. She is housebroken, well-behaved in the home, and walks nicely on a leash. Mitzi hasn't been using a crate, but doesn’t get into things in the house and would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a calm, easygoing dog to share their days with. She has not been exposed to cats, so her compatibility with them is unknown. Mitzi doesn’t hear very well, and she takes medication to help with her dry eyes, but she doesn’t let either slow her down. She is simply looking for someone who will love her for exactly who she is and give her the peaceful, happy retirement she deserves.  She would do best with older children who respect her space and can understand she needs to enjoy life at a slower pace.   Mitzi is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.  If you’re looking for a sweet little companion who would much rather cuddle, relax, and enjoy the simple things in life, Mitzi may be the perfect girl for you. She has spent enough time waiting — now she’s ready to spend her golden years in a loving home, curled up beside someone who knows just how special she is.  She is available for adoption now through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA, KL #16182, so apply today at www.pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt.  ##2847544##
