Story

🐾 Meet Rusty! 🐾 Rusty is a 9-month-old Australian Kelpie/Shepherd mix who has already overcome more than any puppy should ever have to. He is currently being fostered in Mississippi but can be transported to an area near you via Rescue Riders LLC Transport. Rusty came into rescue when he was just 3 months old after someone found him. At the time, he had what appeared to be a chemical burn running the entire length of his back. We don't know what happened to him or how he was injured, but thankfully, he made it into rescue and has been given the care and love he deserved. Rusty also suffered an eye injury. We don't know if it was related to what happened to his back, but unfortunately, his eye could not be saved and had to be removed. But losing an eye hasn't slowed this handsome boy down one bit! ❤️ Today, Rusty is a happy, healthy boy who is ready for his forever home. He has a medium activity level and enjoys going for walks, but he isn't looking for a home that never stops moving. He has great manners, gets along wonderfully with dogs of all ages, and does well in a crate. Rusty is the kind of dog who has been through a lot (and he may always have a scar going down the length of his back), but hasn't let it change his sweet spirit. He deserves a family who will appreciate what a special boy he is and show him just how good life can be. ❤️ Rusty is neutered and ready to find his forever family! 🐾 9 months old 🐾 Australian Kelpie/Shepherd mix 🐾 Medium to high activity level 🐾 Loves walks 🐾 Great with dogs of all ages 🐾 Great manners 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Neutered 🐾 Ready for adoption! 🏡❤️ If you're interested in welcoming this precious pup into your family, send us a message! We'll be happy to send you an adoption application. 💲 Adoption Fee: $450 Your puppy's adoption fee includes: 🐶 Spay/neuter 💉 Age-appropriate vaccinations 🪱 Deworming ❤️ Current heartworm and flea prevention 📍 Microchip 🚚 Transportation to you via Rescue Riders Pet Transport!

Story

Our old, perfect, classy lady Daisy. Daisy is a 7-year-old mix who weighs approximately 40 lbs and is the sweetest girl. You wouldn’t know she was 7 years old, as she is a puppy by heart. With Daisy you get a cuddling, loving older dog demeanor with the playfulness and happiness of a puppy. And almost no training necessary! Daisy is house and crate trained. Daisy gets along great with other dogs and would do wonderful in a home with another dog to keep her company. She absolutely loves people and is the first one to greet anyone that is coming through the door or gate. Daisy was found roaming the streets of south Texas by Mexico; She was super skinny and you could just see the defeated look in her face. Thankfully, a good Samaritan saw her and couldn’t just turn away from her. She has been in the care of a sanctuary for 6 months now. She is a very relaxed dog. She just wants to lay out in the sun, play a little bit, relax and just hang out. Daisy would do great in a home that is a bit more relaxed and wants a dog that is very casual but VERY loving. She does great on car rides! Her favorite thing to eat are hot dogs. The foster says one of her favorite things about Daisy is that she doesn’t destroy toys, so all toys survive around Daisy, SO FAR. She doesn’t really know commands, but she loves to follow you around,and just wants to find her perfect humans. Please consider giving old lady Daisy a chance at her forever home. Daisy is fixed (spayed/neutered), heart worm positive (they have received the 30-day course of antibiotics and need to stay on heart worm prevention for 12-16 months and be retested then), current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. PLEASE READ BELOW: To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($495) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the Northeast. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: Albany, NY - Only one transport company goes here, times vary Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT - Only one transport company goes here, times vary Nashua, NH – Only one transport company goes here, times vary Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA Ridgefield, NJ and Mt Laurel, NJ Emmitsburg, MD and Elkton, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home.

Story

Meet Athena 💕🐾 Athena is an 18-month-old, 59-pound bundle of sweetness, energy, and adventure looking for her forever home. Athena’s Story Athena was found wandering alone in a shopping mall parking lot. A foster’s daughter began feeding her and sharing posts about her, hoping someone would step up to help. Sadly, nobody did — so Athena was given the chance she deserved, and she has been safe with her foster family since August 23, 2026. Now, she’s ready to find a family of her own. What She’s Like: Athena is sweet, smart, playful, and incredibly entertaining. She absolutely loves having fun and is happiest when she has people, dogs, toys, and adventures around her. She is an active girl who loves to play with other dogs. In fact, she loves them so much that we strongly recommend a home with another active, energetic dog or regular access to doggy daycare or playtime with canine friends. Athena also loves her toys and is a very smart girl who enjoys staying busy. She is very much a water dog and would love a family who enjoys exploring — especially oceans, lakes, and anywhere she can experience a new adventure. 🌊 She also loves riding in the car, making her an excellent potential companion for long drives, road trips, and exploring new places together. 🚗🐾 Athena’s Home Skills • 🏡 House-trained: Yes • 🐾 Crate-trained: Yes — she sleeps comfortably in a 42-inch crate • 🚗 Car-trained: Yes, and she loves riding in the car • 🐶 Dogs: Absolutely loves other dogs • 👧 Children: Yes, she loves kids • 🐱 Cats: Curious about cats and would need appropriate introductions and supervision • ⚡ Energy level: Active Her Ideal Home Athena would thrive with active owners who want a dog to be part of their adventures. A home with another energetic, playful dog would be ideal for her, or a family able to provide regular opportunities for her to socialize and play with other dogs. She would be a wonderful match for someone who enjoys being outdoors, taking road trips, exploring new places, playing with their dog, and making plenty of memories together. Athena has already had a difficult start, but you would never know it from the joyful, loving dog she is today. She is ready for someone to finally choose her — and give her the forever home she deserves. ❤️ Athena is ready for her next adventure. Could that adventure be with you? Athena is spayed, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations (bordatella, rabies and parvo distemper), current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption. The adoption fee INCLUDES transport costs. PLEASE READ BELOW CAREFULLY: The next step is to apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily.

Georgey

Australian Kelpie Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Ridgefield, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Georgey (or in Spanish, Gorge) is an 11-month-old pup that weighs approximately 32 lbs. While we do not know who his parents are, we believe he is Australian kelpie mixed with lab or catahoula. Either way, he is definitely adorable and very petite. We do think he is full grown as he has not grown since we got him. He has been in foster care since March 2025 - He was born on a ranch in south Texas, where a stray dog had puppies at. Only Gorge and his brother, Johnny, were surrendered though. We don’t know what happened to the other puppies or the parents. This awesome boy absolutely loves other dogs; big and small. He is currently being fostered in a sanctuary in south Texas, along the Texas/Mexico border. This amazing sanctuary is only a short term stop for this fur-baby until their forever home is found. Gorge is a goofy boy – he is always willing to try something first and would be considered the “class clown” of the group. He is a pleaser and loves being accepted by the other dogs. He is more submissive than most. Gorge loves his toys and playing around the yard. There is nothing he does not like doing. He is all around a very relaxed and easy going boy that would fit almost all types of households. He loves being around his people and will follow you around, trying to please you too. Gorge gets a little jealous when other dogs are out playing and he is in kennel. He will make very sad whimpering sounds in hopes to get let out, and usually it works! Gorge loves his toys so much that he decides it’s much better to have 20 pieces of one toy than just one toy! Tough toys are definitely a must for young Gorgey. He has met kitties and he has no issues with them! He would live very happy with other dogs and kitties in the home. Gorge is so friendly that he loves kids, strangers and really, any human! Gorge would love a home that has another dog or dogs, where he can play, have a kiddo pool full of water to lay in and go on walks around the neighborhood to explore and see new things. He would be truly great for most types of households. This animal is fixed (spayed/neutered), heart worm positive (they have received the 30-day course of antibiotics and need to stay on heart worm prevention for 12-16 months and be retested then), current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.

Story

From September 18th-30th, my adoption fee is completely sponsored! Thanks to the Bissell Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters campaign, my new family can take me home at no cost to them! Meet Spade! Spade is a 5-year-old, 60-pound Kelpie mix who is looking for a forever home! With a gentle, easygoing personality, he’s a medium-energy guy who enjoys relaxed sniffy walks and then settling in for some quality couch time with his people. Spade’s favorite thing in the world is being with his family—wagging his tail and soaking up the company. He is fully potty trained, crate trained, and happily sleeps in his crate at night. He also does well with other dogs, making him a great fit for a home with canine friends. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to join you on long walks and then unwind together at home, Spade might be your perfect match. 💙 Spade is currently located in Middletown, NJ.

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.
