Story
Bindi will be your best friend with unwavering loyalty. He is a 6 year old male who came to us to foster a few months ago. He belonged to a good friend of ours, who passed away. He has a couple unique behaviors. He "purrs" when someone is petting him. The purring grows louder as the petting goes on. I have never met another dog that does that, and suspect he learned it from the cat he grew up with. Bindi also howls when a fire truck drives by with the horns sounding. He sounds just like an emergency alarm system! When Bindi first came to us, he barked at visitors and everyone that walked by our house. In just a couple short months, he has learned not to bark at everyone, and is calmer when company comes over. He does have an intimidating bark however, if you are looking for a guard dog to keep even the most persistent solicitor away. :) The commands he knows are "sit", "give me paw", "stay", and "come". He is a quick learner and intuitive.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 💫 Meet Ellie – The Smart Cookie With a Herd of Personality! 💫 Say hello to Ellie, a 4-year-old, 27-pound Mini Aussie who’s equal parts brains, beauty, and sass! This little lady has herding instincts sharper than your GPS — and yes, that includes rounding up humans who dare wander off too far. Ellie is house and crate trained (because smart girls know where to do their business), and she’s a dream in the car — the perfect co-pilot for coffee runs or cross-country road trips. She’s great with other dogs and loves spending time with her people, especially if belly rubs or snacks are involved. Got small kids? Well… let’s just say Ellie takes her job as “assistant hall monitor” a little too seriously. She’ll happily herd the kiddos right back into line — so she’d do best in a home with older kids or adults who appreciate her professional-level organizing skills. 😉 Cats? Unknown — but with her Aussie instincts, she might think they need a little direction too! Ellie’s the full package: loyal, clever, funny, and always ready for her next adventure (or nap — she’s flexible like that). 🐾 Apply at haydudeequine.org — she’s guaranteed to keep life interesting, one herded human at a time!

Story
Meet Uncle Fester! This handsome 4-year-old Australian Shepherd mix has quite the story to tell. Originally adopted as a puppy from Louie’s Legacy, Uncle Fester recently found himself abandoned in the woods. Thankfully, a local shelter recognized him and contacted us right away—and we wasted no time bringing him back into rescue where he belongs. Despite all he’s been through, Uncle Fester’s heart is still full of love. He absolutely adores men—he completely melted for the dog warden who helped him—and he does well with women, too. He may be a little shy at first, which is understandable after the whirlwind of his past week, but once he warms up, he’s affectionate and loves all the pets and attention you’ll give him. Uncle Fester walks decently on a leash (though he can pull a bit when he’s excited) and enjoys car rides, where he sits back and watches the world go by. He’s also good with other dogs and was even found with a canine companion. We’re still getting to know this sweet boy, but one thing’s already clear—Uncle Fester is a gentle soul ready for his fresh start and a family who will never let him down again. Uncle Fester is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is $275.00. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. 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.
