Story
Meet Oreo, a handsome 11-month-old, 70 lb Akita with a calm, gentle temperament and a deeply loyal heart. Well-mannered and quiet, he possesses a natural guard dog instinct, always keeping a watchful eye over his home. While steady and low-key, he is devoted to his family and loves nothing more than lounging around near his favorite humans. This smart boy is house-trained, crate-trained, and learning to walk on a leash with great progress. He is food-motivated and loves working on delicious treat puzzles that keep his mind engaged. Oreo’s sweet, adaptable nature makes him a wonderful family companion who does well with kids and cats. If you are looking for a steady, protective, and loving partner to bring a calm presence to your home, Oreo is ready to meet you! Oreo is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is $275.00. 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.

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Balto’s family had to quickly move out and relocate. Unfortunately, his family could not take him. I am the neighbor who agreed to take him until he can be re-homed. I am elderly and cannot care for him due to his high energy level. Balto really needs a yard to run and play. He is very kind and just wants to be loved and included.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sasha has been waiting for her forever home since May 2024, and she's more than ready to find the family she's been dreaming of. This very sweet girl loves people and is happiest when she's out exploring or spending time with her favorite humans. Sasha is smart, active, and knows her basic commands. She loves going on runs, hikes, playing fetch, and staying busy, making her the perfect companion for an active person or family. Because of her breed, Sasha's adopters should understand the needs of intelligent, working dogs. She will do best in an active home with a securely fenced yard, where she won't be left alone for long periods. With plenty of exercise, attention, and love, she'll reward her family with endless loyalty and affection. Sasha's story began when she was left behind at a hotel in San Antonio after her family checked out. Thankfully, the hotel reached out for help, and she's been safe with us ever since. Now all she wants is the loving forever home she deserves. Her adoption fee is $200 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations, 4DX test, ProHeart 12, and Bravecto. Sasha is currently in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Oregon (Portland), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and locations along the East Coast for an additional $250 transport fee. (We cannot transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.) If you'd like to meet Sasha, the first step is to complete an adoption application at www.adoggie4you.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 16, 2026, 4:11 pm
