Story
Reign is a purebred American Bully with legit papers from a very well known family line. She’s roughly 7 years old and I’m looking for a loving home for her because her owner(my daughter) is awaiting to give birth to her first child(my first grandson🙌🏾🤗) and doesn’t have the capacity to take care of a newborn and a dog. Reign is house trained and well maintained and loves to cuddle and just get up under you. My daughter has taught her even to bless her food before she eats. She’s very playful and great with kids and has not bitten anyone at all since she’s been alive annnnnd she’s spoiled. She loves attention and will basically put her head under your arm demanding to be rubbed and massaged. She really deserves a loving family to take her in and love on her and it saddens me that we have to let her go but it’s the best for everyone. Also willing to help with the cost of getting spayed.

Story
Meet Pongo! Pongo is a 4 year old, 33 pound, sweet as can be pup! While his parents are unknown, Pongo resembles a Boston Terrier on stilts and he has the most hilarious ears that stand up and then flop over to the side. They are too cute! Pongo is a higher energy guy that loves to play! While he does well with his furry foster siblings, he does tend to participate in high energy play, which might be off putting to some dogs. He would do very well in a home with another dog that likes to play and isn't intimidated by Pongo being in their face. Pongo is very sweet to all humans in his foster home, but the best permanent home would be one without small children. Pongo is well behaved in his crate and is working hard to perfect potty training. He would do best in a home willing to participate in professional training to help Pongo become his best self. This young guy is looking for his perfect forever family, filled with love, play and lots of walks! If that sounds like you - apply today! Pongo's adoption fee is $275. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, fully up to date on vaccinations, including rabies (if age appropriate) and Bordetella, 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.

Adopt Rukia 💕 Pit mix, DOB 3/25/22, female, 50lbs Rukia is a spunky pitbull mix— she’s a unique, energetic, affectionate, sassy girl who is looking for a home to thrive in! She’s happiest being the center of attention— she loves toys, treats, romping around outside, and endless cuddles and scratches! She has a slight limp from a broken leg she got as a puppy, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and knows tons of tricks and commands! She’s very treat motivated and eager to please. Rukia is best suited for a home where she is the only dog, she does like other dogs, but doesnt like to share. She loves all people, (including children), but older kiddos would be ideal to handle her rambunctious nature. Her silly personality and energetic nature are perfect for someone who needs a loyal sidekick to tackle each day with! Rukia is current on vaccines, microchipped, and spay. We are accepting applications at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SHPA/Dog
