Story
I received my baby girl D'zire when she was 8 weeks old on April 6, 2023. My coworker told me her dog had puppies and if I was interested in purchasing. I told her yes I made my down payment and then my installment fee a few weeks later. Although you will be getting a great deal. She is a great protector and loving puppy. It breaks my heart to get rid of her. But everyone schedule is preoccupied. She doesn't deserve this and I want the best for her. My son will be 21 next year and my daughter will be 18. With busy schedules all about themselves. My husband is a HVAC Technican always on the go. Everyone was excited and did their part but its becoming difficult to provide the time we need. Leaving me with much of the responsibility. So since my daughter leave to go to college in NC next June. It's time to place her with another blessed family.

Story
  DOMINO NEEDS A FOREVER FOSTER!! 2023 was a lousy year for this big, beautiful girl. Let's make 2024 a good year for her. Darling Domino needs a chance at happiness. She is a delightful girl who bonds closely to the people she loves. She's mostly a couch potato who enjoys a romp around the yard and playing with her toys. She loves to go on car rides. She needs a home where she will be the only pet, no other dogs or cats because she was never socialized with other animals. She needs a home with a physically-fenced yard where she can run around a bit, take care of business and get back indoors. She's about 8 years old and 62 pounds. She's best suited to a home where she won't have to navigate flights of stairs. Domino has some health issues -- food and skin allergies and some arthritis. When she finds a home, she will be a forever foster, SDHR will continue to provide for all of her veterinary care, preventatives, etc. through our vet, Clough Pike Veterinary Clinic in Batavia.   DOMINO was adopted from SDHR 6.5 years ago and was happy in her furever home. Then she got the rug pulled out from under her when she lost her home due to the usual litany of excuses we hear in rescue... she's a great dog and we love her but moving blah blah, job change blah blah, not enough time blah blah. She arrived extremely overweight, which has been addressed. If you are willing to provide Domino with a forever foster home, you will be rewarded with lots of love from this very special dog in need. SDHR will provide all supplies, food, etc. Are you ready to welcome Domino into your home? Please fill out a foster application at dreamhouserescue.org and indicate you are interested in fostering Domino.

Story
Meet Marge! Marge is a 4 year old, 53 pound Beagle/Bulldog mix. Are you ready to open your heart to a loving canine companion? Look no further, because Marge is here! Marge has had quite a journey, being a brave survivor of a puppy mill. Despite her challenging past, she has shown incredible strength and resilience, making her an inspiring pup with so much love to give. Marge is an incredibly sweet and gentle soul. She doesn't know a person she doesn't already love! She adores cuddles, belly rubs, and gentle playtime. Marge gets along well with other dogs and loves to play and wrestle with all her foster siblings. She would also be a wonderful addition to a home with older, considerate children who can understand her background and provide her with the patience she needs. She will require a physically fenced in yard. She's not a high-energy pup, but she does have a mischievous streak and will find weaknesses in any fence. She really really really loves staying in the backyard soaking up all the sun she can, and enjoys leisurely walks on leash (Marge has great leash manners)! Are you ready to be the hero in Marge's happily-ever-after story? Adopt Marge today, and together, you can write a new chapter filled with love, hope, and endless tail wags! Marge is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. Her adoption fee is $450. Marge is a Patron Pup. Patron Pups have higher adoption fees due to varying reasons and are adopted quickly, even with these higher adoption fees. They may be purebred, a highly desirable breed, small in size fully grown, etc. These fees allow them to act as patrons to other pets in our care who may not be as adoptable, or have ongoing costs for medical care, contributing to a longer time in rescue, and therefore a higher cost for us to care for them. Patron Pups allow us to continue rescuing these other animals and give them a better chance at finding their forever homes as well. 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.

MEET TANK Tank is a 5 year old, male, very laid back Boxer/Bulldog mix. He is housebroken, crate trained although he doesn’t need to be crated, and knows commands like sit, shake, lay down. He’s also a HUGE snuggler! Tank is very loving and will attach to his person and love you unconditionally with zero push back. The official Velcro dog. He is kid, dog and cat friendly!

Story
Sailor is a very handsome, 3 year old, 90lb American bulldog mix. He is as photogenic as they come, and he knows it! He is a cuddly gentle giant who is looking to find his forever family. Sailor would prefer to be in a home where he is the only dog, but he has previously lived with a 10 lb Chihuahua. If you have a resident dog, he would prefer them to be smaller in size and have a lower energy level just like him! He can get a little uncomfortable and anxious when an animal, either dog or cat, or human doesn't respect his personal space,  so a home with older kids would be best.  He currently lives in a foster home with 3 cats and doesn't pay them any mind.  Sailor has shown to be fearful of adult men if they approach him too quickly, but he just needs to know he can trust them!  Sailor LOVES people - he always wants to be near you!He loves to give foster mom big sloppy face kisses to tell her how much he loves and appreciates her. He will hop right up in your lap regardless of his size and he'll also lay his body across the middle console while you're driving!  He is housebroken. He seems to get anxious when people leave him in a crate so family that is home often would probably suit him best. He's overall well behaved on the leash, he can pull at the very beginning simply out of excitement but he settles right in after a few minutes (he's not super high energy - he's just a big boy!). Well-Mannered K9 is offering a free session upon adoption to help! Want to add this big squishy boy to your life? Apply today!March 18, 2024, 10:38 pm

Story
Duke is a young male Bully mix. He weighs in at 41lbs but should gaining a little more since he's been in fostering.  Gets along good with our pack of 5. He did  like to try to dominate at first so he will need a leader that can be aware and control the situation. He listens well if he does get a little over zealous at first. Each day he is more relaxed. We do have a couple of very dominate dogs! Duke has not been a destroyer of things even with his young age. He is crate trained. He is potty trained if let out on a schedule.  Gets along great with kids and just loves to be around people.  Loves a good chew toy too!March 18, 2024, 10:38 pm

WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Heidi - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! My name is Heidi, full of youthful exuberance for life, innocence and curiosity. Ready to crawl right into your heart (won't take long either!!) and be a part of a family...YOUR family! I am still a youngster yet, a big puppy at heart! I have lots of energy and am quite agile. I could be a great candidate for obedience classes and maybe even some fun ones like agility classes. I'm a smart cookie (i know cuz my foster mom tell me so!) and catch on quickly. At 11 months and around 45lbs, I shouldn't get much bigger at my adult weight. What a perfect size for...everything! Neighborhood strolls, nature hikes(aaaah, all those wonderful tantalizing smells), camping, being a co-pilot for errand runs or trips to the park! You name it, I'm ready to give it a whirl and have a blast too (with whatever it is) just cuz we're doing it together!! And the bestest part is that I'm also small enough that I don't hog the whole couch for my cherished cuddle time!! My foster mom wanted you to know this about me - -she is housebroken -she wants to be a lap dog; -she would fit well with an adult home with older children; -with her high prey drive she should be in a home without small dogs or cats but will do well with her size or larger size breed of dogs; -she is a fast learner and will shine with an owner that will include her in their everyday life adventures; -she is crate trained; -she follows basic commands and walks well on leash; -she thrives on daily walks; -she’s a family dog and will make a fabulous family member; -she loves walks, hikes, exploring, tug of war and games using her nose and sparking her intelligence; -she’s quite agile and shows ability in figuring out how to jump over or crawl under set obstacles. She is happy, fun loving and eager to bring joy to her forever home! As my short sleek coat is low maintenance in the grooming department, making me more of a wash-n-to type of gal. And you do know what that means don't you?!! Oh yep yep, lots of extra time in the 'spoil me rotten' department. And you know that's what it's all about!! ;) Big on personality, smart and inquisitive, affectionate and sweet, my oh my I have a boatload of great traits going on, oh and don't forget my stunning good looks, to make me a great family addition, I just need the family...could it be YOUR family?
