Molly Moo Age: 2.5 Years Old / Breed: Saint Bernard / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy “Hello! I’m Molly Moo! I’m a 2.5 year old, 90 pound, Saint Bernard. I’m a shy girl, but once I get to know you and trust you, I’m the sweetest! I love to roam my foster family’s fenced-in yard and bark at the neighborhood squirrels, although my favorite activity is to take walks up and down our street with my foster family. I am fostered with kids, dogs and cats and while I get along with the human members of my foster crew, I do prefer to be the only animal. I will need a new home that is animal free and ready to give all of the snuggles to me only! It might be selfish, but when you’re this cute, you can make those kinds of demands! I am doing great on my potty training and crate training and have never had an accident in my foster family’s house. I would love a home with a family of my own and a big yard to run around in! If that sounds like you, apply for me today! My adoption fee is $250.” Photo via

Pasty Cline Age: 2-3 Months Old / Breed: Domestic Shorthair / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy “Say hello to one legendary kitten crew! These 2-3 month old babies are such cute little nuggets, they’re sure to be stars. They love to run around and chase each other, and are always pouncing on the nearest brother or sister when they think no one’s looking. When it comes to personality, they’re as different as their fuzzy little bodies! Behind mom, Whitney Houston is the most courageous of the group and always the first to come say hi, but Janis Joplin and Patsy Cline are playful girls who are never far behind. And while those 3 are greeting you, you can usually look up to find Elton John just out of reach, scoping you out with a wide-eyed and curious look until he can be sure you’re a trustworthy friend. Knowing that they’re the beauties of the bunch, Bonnie Raitt, Kenny Rogers and Carlos Santana are always the last to win over. They’d prefer to wrestle with their siblings and zoom around the room than curl up with a new friend, but once you scoop them up and give them a good face rub, they’ll be your new buddy. Patsy’s adoption fee is $75 or adopt two kittens of $110. Kittens are very social by nature, so if there is no other cat in the home, our kittens (under one year of age) are adopted in pairs.” Photo via

Blue Age: 4 Years Old / Breed: Australian Shepherd / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy “My name is Blue and I am a 4 year old Aussie mix.

Waylon Age: 3.5 Months Old / Breed: Anatolian Shepherd/ Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy “Hello! Meet the Anatolian boys, Hank and Waylon. These boys are so big (over 30 pounds at 3.5 months) and are so sweet. These puppies are currently not able to meet the foster dogs in their house because they haven’t gotten all their vaccines yet, but they play well among themselves, suggesting they will probably get along with other dogs if properly introduced. They do like to play ruff (get it, ruff?!) with each other so they may annoy an older, laid back dog. They accidentally met a cat and were overzealous (like all puppies would be) but not mean to her. Waylon loves to fetch a tennis ball over and over again. It’s a great way to burn his moderate puppy energy. Hank loves to chase Waylon and also chases the ball but Waylon generally wins out. (Waylon is the smaller and slightly more coordinated among the two, and Hank is the biggest lover). When unattended, the boys are confined to a small room and they will whine and bark for a few minutes but are generally quiet. Their bark, like their frame, is big! They haven’t started potty training outside yet, but have been getting the hang of using puppy pads. Waylon’s adoption fee is $400.” Photo via

He then contacted our rescue group so I could get a good home because I long for someone to love me. I am super affectionate. I love to snuggle and you can see by my pics enjoy sleeping on the bed. I did test positive for Feline leukemia which means I need to be an only cat. The vet said otherwise I look really healthy. I enjoy a bit of canned food and relaxing with my people.

Lancelot Age: 3 Years Old / Breed: Domestic Shorthair / Sex: Male / Rescue: HART of Cincinnati Animal Rescue “Meet Lancelot the best couch potato cuddle bug you’ll ever meet! He’s about 3 years old and he is a LOVE! He does not follow social distancing practices at all! He wants to be in your personal space most of the time, and he wants to nap on top of his human (I promise you’ll love it). Lance is a talker and has the cutest meow he kind of sounds like Chewbacca. Lance is FIV positive but it’s not a big deal he is healthy and gets along well with other friendly cats. While Lance hasn’t been around dogs, he is so low key and chill I think he would do just fine with a nice low energy dog friend and a good introduction. Are you ready to meet your new best friend?

They both enjoy wet food, cat naps, and each other. We couldn’t even get photos of them separately because they stick to each other like glue! They get along with other cats, but we don’t know about dogs or small children. Ideally we would love to see them adopted together, but maybe if they have another friendly kitty in their forever home they can be adopted separately. But they sure look cute cuddled up together!

Sheldon Age: 14 Years Old / Breed: Hound Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: SAAP “Sheldon is a sweet loving senior hound mix who is looking for a low key home to live out his retirement years. Sheldon is house trained and doesn’t need a crate. He loves short walks and is very food motivated. He knows how to “sit pretty” for snacks and loves a good belly scratch. Sheldon was diagnosed with Endothelial Degeneration last year and had Gundersen flap surgery to try to maintain his vision. The surgery was successful but then he was diagnosed with KCS (dry eye.) He has significant vision impairment and is on 3 drops 3x a day that he will likely be on for life. He is extremely tolerant with the drops and it’s just a normal part of his routine. He will also need regular visits the the eye institute for rechecks (about every 4 months.) While he does have some major vision loss, he gets around great and is such an adaptable dog. He loves being next to his people and begs for attention any chance he gets. He lives with multiple other low energy senior dogs and does great. He does not do well with high energy dogs or puppies. He is fine with cats and ignores them. Because of his vision impairment he does not tolerate being climbed on or pulled at so he should not live with young children. He would do great with teenagers or older kids who can respect him. Sheldon would also prefer a home without too many stairs. Apply to meet this handsome boy!” Photo via

Chester Age: 3 Years Old / Breed: Domestic Shorthair / Sex: Male / Rescue: SAAP “Please welcome Chester to SAAP. He just got to his foster’s house yesterday so they are still learning about him.

Bruce Age: 1-2 Years Old / Breed: Corgi / German Shepherd / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy “Bruce is a young Corgi/German Shepherd mix about 1-2 years of age. His little Corgi legs bring him to around 1 and ½ feet tall. At around 27 pounds, Bruce is easy to pick up and will happily climb onto your lap for snuggles or when going on car rides. He is quiet and rarely barks except if left alone in the crate. He is house trained, very well behaved and can be left out when no one is home. Bruce is mild mannered with little bursts of puppy-like playfulness, and very loving. He lives for belly rubs and big full body stretches. He’s curious about new people, dogs and even cats, and has yet to meet a friend he doesn’t get along with. He’ll spend most of his day lounging as close to you as he can get. Bruce’s adoption fee is $400, a small price to pay for such a cute and cuddly pup.” Photo via
