Story
t's me, Mo- the guy with the big blue eyes, spotted nose, and a tongue that sometimes forgets to stay in my mouth. I've been patiently waiting at my finders home, dreaming about the day I finally get my forever home.  Here is what you should know about me: I am very loveable I love people and dogs of all sizes I am fascinated by horses Car rides are the best I was abandoned and starved, so food really excites me Bully sticks are my favorite I love playing fetch I want to be taken on walks but my finder/foster has too many dogs and no time to walk me. I don't need anything fancy, just patience, kindness and a family who has time for me.  Mo is one year old and 59 lbs Kelpie mix who was found stray by a kind citizen. Months went by without an owner coming forward and now Mo is searching for a new family that can give him all the love and attention he deserves. He's house and crate trained and gets along great with other dogs and cats.  Mo is neutered, vaccinated, microchiped and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $275. Please apply online and we'll be in touch: Adoption Application - Legacy Humane SocietyWe do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.

Story
Meet Belle! A sweet and soulful almost two-year-old Kelpie mix currently in Converse, TX, whose tricolor coat is just as vibrant as her heart is gentle. Belle is the kind of pup who melts into your side for a cuddle, flashes a warm-eyed smile at every passerby, and politely sits for treats with the elegance of a pup who’s clearly aced her obedience classes. Belle has completed multiple levels of training and knows commands like sit, stay, down, up, go, and kennel. She’s crate trained, house-trained, microchipped, and in tip-top health with all her vaccinations up to date. At about 30 pounds, she’s a perfectly portable medium-sized companion who enjoys car rides (she even comes with her own doggy seat belt!) and adores daily walks, chew toys, and cozying up with her people at the end of the day. While Belle is incredibly curious and gentle around cats, her current feline roommate isn’t quite as open to friendship. Because of that, she’s looking for a new loving home where peace and harmony can flourish, ideally one with a fenced yard and maybe even another dog to pal around with. Belle is especially happy in the company of other dogs and shines at the dog park, where her social butterfly side gets to come out and play! Her temperament makes her a great match for families with young children (ages three and up), other friendly dogs, and caregivers who value companionship and affection. She’s never shown aggression, handles being alone just fine for short periods, and keeps a calm, even-keeled presence that makes her a joy to share space with. To help ease her into her next chapter, her current guardian is sending her off with her full setup: a collapsible kennel, bed, toys, treats, leash and harness, fresh pet food, and even her travel gear. Are you ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, loyal girl who just wants to love and be loved? Belle might be the perfect new friend you didn’t know you were missing. Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and say hello to your next great adventure!

These pups are in McKinney, Texas too!

Story
Margot and her sister were picked up as strays. Luckily, someone found them before they starved or were killed. She and her sister, Amber, have been together their entire lives, so we would love to see them adopted together, if possible.Both girls are athletic, but Margot so much that she can jump and climb over the fences at her foster home to go where she pleases. Luckily, she stays on her property and goes into different areas to play with the other dogs or her foster family. Her foster has not worked on trying to keep her contained, but this would be a concern until she could adjust to her new home; she does have excellent recall. We have a portable containment system to send with her for someone willing to work with that training.Margot lives with lots of other dogs and gets along with everyone, including the livestock rescues. She has good house manners, is crate trained, and is working on walking on a leash.She is fully vetted - current with vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartwormprevention.
