🐾 Loving Dog Looking for Her Forever Home – Meet Benelli 🐾 This is Benelli — a 6-year-old sweetheart with so much love to give. She’s been my rescue since 2019, and letting her go is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. She deserves a home where she can be the center of attention and get all the love she gives in return. ❤️ About Benelli: 6 years old, spayed female Very affectionate and loyal Loves attention and cuddles House-trained and well-behaved indoors 🏡 What She Needs: Benelli must be the only pet in the home. She does not get along with cats and has trouble with other dogs. She’s also protective of her food around other animals (but not with people). 💊 Health Notes: Benelli has some allergies and occasionally needs allergy medication, which helps keep her comfortable and happy.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
INTAKE DATE: 8/17/24CURRENT WEIGHT:66 LBSKira hasn`t had the easiest time of it - she was adopted from AFA in 2021, only to be returned three years later, where she still waits, a year past that date. Kira is a 7 year old female Pit Bull Terrier mix who is sweet as can be and has the energy and joy of an adolescent - just with better manners! She honestly didn`t have any problems at her first home EXCEPT she would prefer to be your one and only. Kira isn`t super fond of other dogs and would prefer to `admire` them from a distance rather than share her bed with them! Besides, Kira has a big enough personality that she will make you forget the idea of having another dog! WHY, when you already have such perfection????

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
INTAKE DATE: 3/13/24 TRANSFER FROM MAHONING COUNTY POUNDCURRENT WEIGHT: 62 LBSDon`t be deceived by the plain brown wrapper - Jimmy is just bursting with potential, energy and the joy of just being alive! Jimmy is a 2 1/2 year old male Pit Bull Terrier mix who currently weighs in at about 65 pounds. We would never say that Jimmy is chubby, but....maybe a little fluffy? He is an athletic boy who has the smarts and just needs and experienced dog owner to help him reach his potential. He is very toy and food driven, and would benefit greatly from a home where someone takes those drives and uses them to help Jimmy be all he can be. Obedience classes are going to be a must for this kid - he hasn`t ever had the chance to have someone seriously spend time with him and help him learn how to be the best boy. Jimmy has been at Angels for nearly 18 months - a little more than half of his life. He would do best in an adult only, single animal home.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
INTAKE DATE: 6/18/24 TRANSFER FROM TRUMBULL COUNTY POUNDCURRENT WEIGHT:52 LBSThis adorable, bouncy, lovely girlie, is looking for a fun active home - if you want a couch potato, you`re looking at the wrong pup! Oh sure, Tori can settle down, but you`re going to have to get her tired out first! Victoria is a 2 1/2 year old female Pit Bull Terrier mix who is looking for an active home that can dedicate themselves to some serious ball throwing. Its her passion. And she is VERY good at the game. Sure, you occasionally have to cajole her into handing over the ball, but in the end, she will because THROW IT AGAIN! Tori would do best in an adult, cat free home, and would have to meet any resident dogs, though we believe she would do best with a brother rather than a sister! She is very energetic and excitable, and not afraid to show it.

Story
Meet Bagel. Bagel is a husky/boxer mix (mostly boxer) and is approximately 2 yrs old.  She is spayed and up to date on shots.  Bagel would do best in a calm home with no kids or older kids that listen and respect animals.  She does great with my 3 kids (ages 16, 13, and 9) but does not like when my boys play rough.  When I took her in I was told she hated men but I have been working with her and she absolutely loves my husband now.  I was told her previous owners had an aggressive man in the house and I’m guessing that’s where her dislike for men came from.  However, I feel she is much better now and given a safe environment men are no longer an issue.  She just needs to know she is safe.  She is crate trained.  Bagel is also house trained but does have little accidents when she’s excited so I just try to take her out every 10-15 minutes when she is super excited.  She is an absolute love bug.  She loves to cuddle up under the blankets and gets tucked in every night.  She goes in her crate and I tell her to lay down and then I cover her up and a lot of the times she will lay her head down before the crate is even closed.  Bagel also LOVES toys, and I mean loves!  She will literally get 20-25 toys out with 20 minutes, and no, sadly she does not put them away lol.   Overall she is a very calm girl.   She jumps very minimal and usually only when you are playing and getting her wound up.  She definitely does have the boxer “boxing” trait.  She will absolutely use her paws (I find it super cute).  She has never been in the house with cats but we do have lots of barn cats and she doesn’t mind them unless they are eating her food and then she will bark at them. I have not had her with my dogs as my dogs are not other dogs friendly.  Although I was told that she gets along with other dogs and I think she would be fine with other dog friendly dogs (but not tested to be clear).  She had a lot of fear when I first took her in and she does still need some extra lovins to learn that she is safe and I think she will be the absolute perfect dog. She has a wonderful personality and a very sweet demeanor.   She was dog tested and did great, she'd love a friend to play with and show her the ropes! You can apply at www.ldrofohio.org Our adoption process starts with our application. Once the application is approved, a member of Legacy will contact you to set up a home visit. The home visit usually last 1-1.5 hours and is to make sure our dog and any current dogs/cats are getting along, as well as both of us agreeing it's a fit. At this time the adoption fee is due, and begins the 2 week trial. We will check in during the 2 week trial. If it's not working, our dog is returned to the foster home and all except $100.00 {$75 if Senior} of the adoption fee is returned. At the end of the 2 week trial, you decide if you will finalize the adoption - if finalized, the Adoption Contract is signed and all medical records are turned over to you. If at any time you need to rehome the dog it contractually needs to be returned to Legacy Dog Rescue.  ADOPTION FEE's: Puppies under 6 months:  $199.00 Adults:  $150.00 Seniors (over 7 yrs):  $99.00  If you are interested in one of our dogs please fill out an application:  https://form.jotform.com/193425528783165
