Story
Meet sweet Poppy! Poppy was found in a field with her siblings, on the verge of dying. Dehydrated, emaciated, full of parasites. Thankfully a good Samaritan got them all rounded up and called us. All were a bit shy at first but have come out of their shell and are nothing short of adorable. Cattle dog/shep mix, going to be medium size dogs we think. Born in April of this year and currently around 15 pounds. RECOMMENDATIONS & PROCEDURES Please note, the following are recommendations for puppies and different breeds of dogs. We will evaluate each application on an individual basis to see what is best for the dog/puppy and the potential adopter. Puppies are very fragile and not toys. We recommend children be at least six years old to be considered to adopt a puppy. Small breed dogs ( such as chihuahuas, yorkies, shih tzus , etc) we recommend children be at least eight years old. Herding, working breeds we recommend children to be at least 12 years old. Again these are recommendations. Adoption Procedures: We will travel up to two hours ( one way) to do physical home visits and we do not do virtual home visits. ( we are in Cleveland County NC) Most of our dogs come from bad situations and we want to know where their forever home is going to be. While we do not require fencing on all dogs, certain dogs that need a fenced in yard, will not be adopted unless potential adopter has one. We also adopt some dogs to people who live in apartments ( as long as the landlord approves) but not all dogs. We do not adopt to anyone under 21 years of age. We also do not feel college students are the best fit for most of our dogs. Most of our dogs again, come from bad situations and need lots of attention. Most college students have financial responsibilities and we feel need to be focused on school. Our goal is to match the dog with a family that fits the dog’s needs. We are solely focused on what is best for each dog in our rescue. These dogs have had enough moving around, dumped out like trash, and we want to ensure they find their forever home. We do require you sign a contract and if at any time you cannot continue to provide for the dog, the dog comes back to the rescue. Your first step to adoption is filling our our on line application. You will then get an automated email stating we got your application Next our adoption coordinator will be in touch either by phone or email If your references check out, a home visit will be scheduled. After the home visit is done, a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in and/or any other available dogs we have will be scheduled If the dog and you are a match, contract will be signed and you may take your new family member home.

Story
Meet sweet Frankie. Frankie is a medium size boy (maybe 35 lbs) and is so sweet and so much fun. He goes on our monthly hikes and I have hiked with him the last two times. He is energetic at first but once he gets over his excitement, he walks like a dream on the leash. We have been working on sitting when others are passing us and he is doing really well at minding his manners. He is also doing well going up on some of the exercise platforms and then sitting at the top. He is super smart, learns very quickly and is just a joy to be around. He would make someone a great hiking partner and companion wherever you went. If you think he may be the boy for you, please continue to read and fill out the on line app... only drawback, no cats!

Story
**FOSTERED IN SUMMERVILLE, SC**  Meet Parker! Age: 3 months (Est DOB 08/19/2025) Breed: Mixed breedCurrent Weight: 16 lbs (expected to be a large dog when grown) Parker is an irresistibly sweet and spunky puppy looking for her forever home! This adorable girl has the perfect blend of playful energy and total cuddle-bug charm. She loves toys, especially anything with a squeaker, and enjoys romping around outside. But her favorite place of all is curled up right in your lap. She’s a cozy, affectionate companion who melts into snuggles the moment you sit down. Parker gets along beautifully with every dog she’s met so far. We’re not yet sure how she feels about cats or kids, but her friendly, gentle nature gives her lots of potential. She’s working hard on her leash skills and crate training. She may still bark a bit in the crate, but she’s improving every day! Parker is a bright, eager-to-learn puppy who picks up routines quickly. She is doing great with house training on a routine, but is still a puppy so expect some accidents while you figure each other out and she learns how to hold it for longer periods of time. She settles well after playtime and has a wonderful “off switch” for relaxation. If you’re looking for a lovable, joyful puppy who will bring warmth, fun, and lots of snuggles into your home, Parker just might be your perfect match!  Adoption Application: www.jasperslegacy.org/apply-to-adopt  ************************Parker is located in a foster home. We are happy to coordinate a meet & greet for pre-approved adopters. To get started, please submit an adoption application at www.jasperslegacy.org/apply-to-adopt Adoption process:Potential adopters complete our online application. From there, we contact them to continue the screening process including checking references, vet checks, and a personal phone interview. Upon completion, potential adopters are pre-approved. From there, potential adopters are put in touch with the foster parent(s) of the dog they are interested in adopting. If a specific dog is not in mind, admins will make suggestions based on who we feel will be good candidates for their home. We take the foster's opinions into high consideration when determining ideal fit for an adoption. Once the dog is determined to be a good fit for the adoptive home, the adopter is given advisement on decompression, training, safety gear, and future preventative vetting. The adoption contract is signed and adoption fee paid to finalize the adoption. ##2592766##
