Story
Meet Remy: Resilient, Radiant, and Ready for the Right Person Remy is a 3–4-year-old bully girl with a heart as big as her comeback story. Once a discarded, underage-bred mama dog surrendered in terrible condition (emaciated, mange, sick), she’s now thriving in her foster home—healthy, furry, and finally learning what love and safety feel like. She’s sensitive, goofy, and deeply affectionate, with a loyal streak that makes her truly unforgettable. Remy missed out on structure and human affection in her early years, so she’s still learning the ropes. She’s eager to please and food-motivated, but can be impulsive, especially when meeting new dogs—her excitement can overwhelm her manners. While she’s shown some resource guarding around toys in the past, consistent training and boundaries have helped her coexist peacefully with her calm XL Bully male foster brother and a variety of doggy housemates (both male and female, large and small). She’s crate-trained, highly trainable, and would thrive in a home with space to roam (a large yard would be ideal!) and a person who can match her energy and invest in her continued growth and training. She’s had a few training sessions and has already overcome a lot. Jumping has nearly vanished, and she’s learning to curb her “eat everything on walks” habit. She’s also a vocal gal who isn’t shy about telling you when she wants something, and has a natural protective instinct that shines when she senses true danger (an immaculate guard dog)—but she’s incredibly friendly with safe, trusted humans. Remy needs an adult-only home with a confident handler who’s experienced with bully and/or power breeds. She does well with calm, tolerant dogs but would not be a match for small kids or highly reactive pets that would be perturbed by her energetic spirit. She is currently being cat-tested. The bottom line? Remy isn’t for a first-time dog owner—but for someone patient, committed, and understanding of dogs with rough starts, she’s a hidden gem. She wants nothing more than to belong to someone who believes in her. If you’re looking for a meaningful, life-changing bond with a dog who will love you fiercely in return, and make you laugh with her silly antics, Remy just might be your girl.

Story
Meet Abby 🤍 Abby is a four year old English Bulldog who came to us from a high kill shelter with her three puppies. She did her job as the very best mama and now all of her babies have been adopted. It is finally Abby’s turn to find the forever home she so deeply deserves. Abby is truly the sweetest soul you will ever meet. She is a full time cuddle bug who wants nothing more than to sleep in bed with you, snuggle up on the couch, and be as close to her people as possible. She is gentle, loving, and will absolutely melt your heart every single day. She is on the lower energy side and prefers a calm, cozy lifestyle. A nice ten minute walk is perfect for her and only if it is cool outside. Abby would not do well with a high energy dog sibling as that would wear her out quickly, but she would love a mellow, easygoing canine companion. She also does great with other dogs and enjoys their company. I would keep Abby myself if I could, but I need to make space for incoming foster dogs who need help. Letting her go is not easy, but I know the right home is out there and will be so lucky to have her. Abby is truly one of a kind and will fill your home with love, cuddles, and endless sweetness. If you are interested in adopting Abby, please visit loveslegacyrescue.com and fill out an adoption application to meet her.

Story
Sweet Lila has known the hardest side of life, but she’s finally getting her chance to start over. When she was found in the shelter, it was clear she had been used for breeding and neglected for years. Her teeth were in terrible shape, her body showed signs of long-term strain, and she struggled to walk comfortably due to moderate lameness. Despite it all, Lila’s gentle heart never gave up. Now that she’s safe, Lila is soaking up every bit of kindness that comes her way. She adores soft beds, belly rubs, and being told she’s a good girl because she truly is. Her favorite moments are the quiet ones, just being near the people who love her. She’s learning that the world can be gentle, and she’s blossoming more each day. Lila doesn’t need much, just a calm, loving home where she can rest, heal, and be treated like the treasured companion she’s always deserved to be. After everything she’s endured, she’s ready for the simple joys: cozy naps, short strolls, and endless affection. If you’ve ever wanted to make a difference in a dog’s life, Lila is the one. She’s waited long enough for someone to show her what love truly feels like.
