Story
Bo has lived with other dogs most of his life. Kennel trained. House trained. Uses leash harness but does pull if excited and might run if able. Loves people and attention. Likes playing with kids just needs supervision he doesn't get too excited. Gets the zoomies and likes to play but likes his naps too. Gets along with other dogs but needs time to introduce them. We have watched other friends dogs for weeks at a time and depending on the dog he just takes time to warm up but overall friendly and enjoys playing with them. Has anxiety during the fourth of July or fire alarms or the wind. Will try to get out of kennel during that time we usually stay with him and he does well. Hes had regular shots and teeth cleanings. Recommend kenneling if out of the house as has gotten food off of countertops or into snack bags while away. My son has formed an aller and heartbreakingly won't be able to keep him any longer but he has a lot of love and would be a great companion, very loving.

Story
Imagine finding a tiny, shivering soul, barely five weeks old, abandoned on the cold, unforgiving edge of a highway. That was Archer. He and his brother, covered in fleas and desperately malnourished, were found just in time, their fragile lives hanging in the balance. Thankfully, a loving foster family opened their hearts and home, offering them warmth, care, and a second chance. The first time his fosters took Archer and his brother into the backyard, the fear of being abandoned again was overwhelming. They ran back to their fosters, crying and shaking, a heart-wrenching reminder of their difficult start. Archer's journey has been one of resilience and transformation. He's blossomed in his foster home, surrounded by a menagerie of furry and feathered friends – dogs, cats, goats, ducks, and chickens. He's learned the joy of playful romps with big dogs, the gentle art of respecting boundaries (mostly!), and the comfort of snuggling close to a warm lap. This sweet boy, with the most endearing face you've ever seen, is a cuddle connoisseur. He'll happily settle on your lap, or as close as he can get, showering you with affection. He's a true helper, always eager to be involved in whatever you're doing. He's treat-motivated, which makes training a breeze, though he might need some guidance to remember that everyone has their own food bowl! Archer is kennel trained, but he's used to a bustling household filled with love and activity. He sleeps with a pillow, often burrowing under blankets, and he cherishes the feeling of being held close – a comfort he discovered as a tiny, vulnerable pup. Now, at about five months old and 40 pounds, Archer is growing into a big, strong boy, but his heart remains as tender as ever. He's searching for a forever home where he can share his boundless love and loyalty. He'd thrive with a family who understands his gentle nature, continues his training, and cherishes his affectionate spirit. Archer's journey began in hardship, but his story is one of hope and the enduring power of love. Will you be the one to write the next chapter of his happy ever after? Will not thrive or do well in an apartment.

Story
Vivienne (affectionally will be called Viv for short) is looking for an adopter or foster who's in need of a new work-out buddy/motivator. WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS ABOUT ME: Vivienne's motto is "Play hard, love hard!" This spirited girl thrives on fun and adventure, whether she's racing around with other dogs or enjoying quality playtime with her favorite humans. There's no adult, kid, or furry friend she can't get along with-more playmates mean more fun! Once she's had her fill of play, Vivienne transforms into the sweetest cuddle buddy, showering you with kisses and love. She's still adjusting to crate life, but she's learning that the quicker she settles down, the sooner she gets to reunite with her favorite human (that's you!). While she's figuring out that she's no longer puppy-sized and needs to greet you with a calmer excitement, she's making great strides with positive reinforcement training. Viv loves holding hands and being petted, although she's still working on overcoming her fear of nail clipping. With her playful antics and well-timed barks, she'll keep you entertained and make sure you're always the center of her world. If you're looking for a happy-go-lucky companion who will fill your days with joy and affection, Vivienne is the perfect match for you! Come meet this lovable bundle of energy and see just how much love she has to give! Please check out Vivienne's video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WlvkoGjizw -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

Story
Meet Irving, a goofy and sweet fella who's looking for an active home! Irving knows "sit" and "drop," but he's still working on consistency. He's had positive interactions with other dogs and tolerates them well. We're not sure how he is with cats. He loves kids but tends to jump and mouth, so a home with older children or adults who can manage his exuberance would be best. Irving is a timid guy around new people but is very eager to please and super food motivated. He'd thrive with someone who enjoys an active, outdoor lifestyle, as he loves being outside. He enjoys flirt pole sessions and loves to "help" with chores like putting clothes in the dryer or bringing you your shoes (sometimes with a side of chewing!). Irving is also housebroken, though he may have accidents if he's feeling anxious. While he's not crate-trained, he's used to gates. If you're an active individual or family looking for a loving, goofy companion and are prepared to help Irving with some basic puppy training, he might be the perfect match for you!
