Story
Meet Oreo! The sweetest, most lovable 80lbs “lap dog” you’ll ever meet… Despite the fact that she has absolutely no idea she’s not lap-sized. She’s gentle, non-aggressive, listens well, and will happily trade her soul for a good treat. Oreo has been such a joyful part of our home, but life has changed very quickly for us. I’m now caring for my mother after her stroke and juggling life with a new baby, and I simply don’t have the capacity to give Oreo the time and attention she deserves. She would thrive with a loving family who can enjoy her big heart, goofy personality, and endless cuddles.

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jazz is a sweet seven year-old rescue staffy-boxer mix, originally from rural Georgia. We adopted her in late 2020 and she is a wonderful dog! She loves to snuggle (a lot), go on walks and hikes, run around the yard, splash in shallow creeks and chase water from a hose, and play with toys. She is house and leash trained and will listen to commands. She knows sit, down, paw, wait, rollover, and let's go. She successfully went through a multi-week obedience training and was the star of the class because she is very food and treat motivated! She does well at dog-sitters when she is the only dog, and she is adaptable at getting comfortable in new spaces. She loves car rides and settles down in the back seat. She will gladly chase or chew toys but is good about not chewing furniture. We are having our first child and are moving overseas, and unfortunately we cannot take her with us. Jazz has brought us so much joy and we know that she will make a great addition to the right family.

Story
House trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Noise level: Barks occasionally My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Vela is how hard she tries to be a lap dog! Likes: Hikes, playing at the dog park, riding in the car, snuggling   Hi, Im Vela (rhymes with Shelia)! Im a super happy, playful girl who absolutely loves her people. Seriously, if you look up loyal in the dictionary, Ill be there. Well, okay, not actually. But I could be! Even though I have a certain love for my person, Im a friendly lady with other people too! I like to make friends on walks and at the park. I love to play with other dogs, and have a great time at daycare while my foster mom is working. Im also crate trained, and good about staying home alone if it isnt a daycare day. I love snacks and toys, and as queen of the house, I believe that I should have as many of both as I want! Im sure my future subjectser, family, will agree. Im a smart cookie, and Ive already learned a bunch of new tricks since coming to D.C. I know sit, stay, off, and leave it. Im also totally crate trained and potty trained. Id like to learn a lot more tricks with my new forever family, so get your treats ready! So if youre looking for a spunky cuddlebug who will keep the couch warm while youre at work, and greet you with all the joy in the world when youre back, look no further! For real-a, you need a Vela!

Story
Stella is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Stella is one of the most low maintenance fosters I've ever had the pleasure of helping find a forever home. From being a shy, scared, and timid girl to being confident, secure, and well-mannered, Stella has grown so much in the 2+ years I've known her; although the vacuum cleaner is still enemy #1. Stella has lived in all types of settings: in a busy city, in an apartment, on a quiet street, with dogs, with reactive dogs, and easily adapted to her home environment. She is crate trained and LOVES having a bed in her crate to curl up into a donut while you're at work. She knows every basic command like sit, down, touch, stay and is fully potty trained. Stella's favorite toy is a lambie, or something else that is tiny that she can carry around in her mouth. Once, she took care of an egg for 6 hours before it broke, she's the most gentle creature. Stella is made of love and French fries. There's nothing more that she wants than to be inside with her people, cuddled up on the couch with a show, or playing sous chef in a calm kitchen. She takes awhile to warm up to her people, but with some french fires (her favorite is Burger King), some space, and a bit of patience, she'll love you unconditionally and will likely knock you over from wagging her tail and wiggling so hard with excitement every time she sees you. Although Stella is a perfect girl in the home, on leash, and with other dogs, she is scared of human strangers, especially masculine presenting people, and will need a strong advocate to help keep her safe. If you're looking for a great addition to your calm and cozy life with unconditional love to give, Stella is the gal for you. Stella would do best living with queer folks, a home without cis-gendered men, without cats, and without small children. ATTRIBUTES: Stella has lived in foster with other dogs, but can not go to a home with kids, cats, or cis-gendered men. -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained. We strive to provide accurate information on all of our animals however, we are unable to guarantee an animal's breed, size, health, behavior, temperament, or any other conditions. Our adoption fees are not inclusive of all vetting / medical care, food, supplies and/or training costs. Since we rely on donations to compensate for those deficits we are unable to reduce or refund this fee. TO ADOPT OR FOSTER: Please apply on our website at www.lailaslegacyanimalrescue.org or email info@lailaslegacyanimalrescue.org if you have questions! TO DONATE: Please consider making a donation on our website at www.lailaslegacyanimalrescue.org so that Laila's Legacy can continue to provide lifesaving medical treatment and training.
