Found neglected and forgotten, she had every reason to give up on humans—but that’s just not who she is. Despite everything, this 38 lb, two-year-old girl still believes in love. She still wags her tail. She still greets every new person, dog, and even cat with gentle curiosity and warmth. She’s smaller than others of her breed, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in heart. Canela is affectionate, eager to please, and happiest when she’s near her people. She’s the kind of dog who leans into you for extra pets, who looks up at you with soulful eyes as if she understands everything you’re saying, and who will trot alongside you, just grateful to be by your side. She’s also potty trained, crate trained, and food motivated, making her not just lovable, but easy to welcome into your home. Fully vetted—spayed, vaccinated, and on preventatives—Canela is ready to leave her past behind and step into the life she was always meant to have. Don’t let her be overlooked. She’s special.

I have lived at Sit 'n Stay training facility the past 3 years without anyone coming back for me.  I think that nobody has asked about me because of my breed...it really is sad...I am such a good boy, you just need to meet me. I am ok with other dogs with proper introductions but really prefer the low energy lady dogs.  I am extremely good, clean and quiet in my crate.  I promise you I will sit and wait like a good boy when you get home just for some pets. I will always greet you with a tail wag. Give me a chance because I am    a favorite at the training facility and they would love nothing more then to see me visiting and then leaving with my new family. Did I mention belly rubs are my thing? I am about 70 pounds & they say I am six yrs old and I am very low activity.    Did I mention I come with training lessons and access to group classes and free boarding for life? If you cannot open your doors for me please share my photo. Share my sweet face so I can have a warm dog bed by your side while you watch tv.  Remy's adoption fee is $400 - fully enclosed fence yard is required to adopt To apply to foster or adopt please fill out application at www.heidislegacydogrescue.com/apply-to-foster-or-adopt Thank you for completing the application.

Bao and Tang are ready for their forever home and have a discounted adoption fee when adopted together!

Story
Bruno is a sweet and gentle 6-8 month old boy. He was abandoned by his mom and left to fend for himself on the streets. Some kind neighbors found him and we were able to bring him into the rescue where he is thriving in his foster home. Bruno is a goofy and a little clumsy. Lol He loves belly rubs, cuddling, and giving kisses. He has been learning to walk on a leash and is such a gentlemen!  If we happen upon another person or dog on our walks, he knows to sit or lay down at my feet while we chat with the neighbors. He LOVES other dogs and loves to play. He is more of the submissive and shy type, and is obedient to commands. Bruno is such a wonderful loyal and handsome companion. He is fully potty trained. He’s has a little fear of going outside because he’s afraid he will be left outside again and runs back inside right after potty. He is slowly learning to trust more and has started playing with his foster brother outside. He does well with our cat as well. He is so sweet, obedient, smart, goofy, and playful. A true gentleman.  ##2421306##
