Story
Meet Harlem! This handsome little guy is ready to find a family of his very own! Harlem is Bronx`s brother, and just like him, he`s a Shih Tzu/Jack Russell mix with plenty of charm. According to his previous owner, Harlem has always been a little more independent than his brother. He`s happy being his own guy, but don`t let that fool you... he`s still a good boy with lots of love to give!Harlem is still young and has so much life ahead of him. He`s looking for a family who will give him the love, patience, and attention he deserves as he settles into his new home.Could Harlem be the perfect little addition to your family? Come meet this sweet boy and see for yourself!Few can resist a puppy. These adorable, soft bundles of energy are similar to four-legged children with tails. And like children, puppies need a lot of time, care, love, and patience. A puppy will depend on you for frequent and regular feedings and walks, for guidance and training, and for much of your time and your love. Before you plunge into puppy parenthood, make sure to research! There are many rewards to caring for a puppy, but there are also many requirements. Puppy classes are highly recommended for socialization and a positive transition into your home. Puppies love to learn how to be the best dog for your family!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings. Dogs are individuals and have personality conflicts, just like us. Play groups do not guarantee that territorial or resource guarding issues will not surface in the home. While play groups do help us get to know the dog`s better, once they are adopted their new environments and new relationships will influence their behavior in ways we cannot predict.Your puppy’s adoption fee includes:- Current age-appropriate CORE Vaccines (Rabies/DHPP/Bordetella)- Heartworm Tested- Current on NexGard PLUS Monthly Preventative Chew (Flea/Tick/Heartworm Preventative & Dewormer)- Spaying or Neutering- 24-Petwatch MicrochipAdoption fee: $185.00Per state law, ALL ADOPTERS must purchase a non-refundable 2026 dog license at time of adoption for any canine three months and older.

Meet Bronx! This adorable little guy is a whole lot of cuteness wrapped up in one sweet package! Bronx is a Shih Tzu/Jack Russell mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. According to his previous owner, he celebrates his first birthday on Christmas Day, so he has a very special birthday coming up!Bronx can be just a tiny bit shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and he`ll warm right up. His previous owner reports that he is housebroken, crate trained, and has lived with other dogs. He`s still a young pup with lots of love to give and plenty of happy memories waiting to be made.If you`re looking for a sweet, adorable little companion to add some extra love (and maybe a little Christmas magic!) to your home, Bronx might just be your guy!Few can resist a puppy.

A very special creature has arrived from a galaxy far, far away… okay, fine, she's from Texas, but with a face like that, we're pretty sure she's intergalactic royalty! Meet Ewok, a 1-year-old, 12-pound Shih Tzu with the fluffiest little face this side of Endor! With her black-and-white coat, soulful eyes, and adorable teddy bear appearance, she's basically a real-life Ewok. The only thing missing is her own tiny hood and a spot on the Millennium Falcon! 🚀 Ewok can be a little shy when meeting new people, but don't worry—she doesn't need a Jedi mind trick to come around! Give her a little patience, kindness, and a few minutes to assess the situation, and she'll soon be ready to join your fan club. Once you're officially part of her inner circle, prepare for maximum snuggle mode. This little girl is a professional cuddlebug who believes the best place in the universe is right next to her favorite human. Forget saving the galaxy—she'd rather save you a spot on the couch! She's also good with other dogs, so she's open to having a furry copilot for her adventures. Ewok is looking for a loving family who will help her feel safe, give her time to warm up, and remind her every day that she's loved. In return, she'll offer endless cuteness, loyal companionship, and enough snuggles to power the Death Star. ❤️ The Force is strong with this one… especially when treats and cuddles are involved! Ready to welcome your very own little Ewok into your family? Don't let this tiny Wookiee fly off to another galaxy without you! 🐾 Apply to adopt Ewok at haydudeequine.org!

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
Oodles was adopted by my mother at a Humane Society outside of Pittsburgh in 2021. My mother who is 85 is now having physical and mental issues and can no longer handle having a dog. Oodles really needs a home where he can get out more. I would say the dog is somewhat potty trained. My mother puts potty pads on the floor but was not good at keeping a regular regimen for going out for potty time. I believe it would be easily fixed once the dog is on a schedule, but it does seem to use the potty pads. Everyone loves the dog when they see him. My mother is very upset about letting the dog go, and it would be important for my mother to meet the people who will adopt the dog. It would be great to find someone close by and perhaps my mother could see the dog once in a blue moon. Oodles has been around many dogs and cats so that shouldn’t be a problem if you have other pets. Oodles is about eight years old and has plenty of life and energy it would be nice to see him get out more.
