Leroy

Age: 4 years old/ Breed: Chiweenie / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy
"Leroy is a 4 year old Chiweenie weighing about 19 pounds. Leroy’s favorite thing to do is to lounge on the couch and get belly rubs. Leroy likes to go on strolls around the neighborhood, which is helping him to lose a couple pounds. He walks on a leash well making it easy for frequent walks. Leroy enjoys sitting on the front porch to people watch and may even try to say “hello” to people walking by. He hasn’t had any potty accidents in his foster home and is crate trained. Leroy has been with a smaller dog and a larger dog in his foster home and he gets along with both. He is not fostered with small children or cats so his reaction to them in unknown Leroy is a friendly guy just looking for someone to show him some love and affection."

Minerva

Age: 2 years old/ Breed: Domestic Long Hair / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy
"The beautiful and fluffy girl is Minerva! Minerva is about 2 years old, and quite possibly might be the best cat there ever was (shh, don't tell the others)! She currently weighs about 8 pounds. She is fostered with cats and small dogs and has been very calm during introductions to both. Though she hasn't shown much interest in toys yet, there is one thing that will be sure to make you her best friend....back scratches! Minerva is a very affectionate and loving kitty."

Lupe

Age: 2 months old / Breed: Wirehaired Terrier / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy
"If you're looking for some puppy kisses during your quarantine, look no further than this rowdy bunch of puppies. At 2 months old, they weigh around 6-8 lbs, and love nothing more than to greet their foster parents and chase after each other. Their mom came into rescue pregnant, and while we don't know who dad was, she is a wiry terrier who weighs no more than 30 lbs. Suffice to say, her 9 babies all look like mini copies of her! If your family is in need of a long-term companion and you're ready for a puppy, look no further than Lupe!"

Viola

Age: Puppy / Breed: Chihuahua / Terrier / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy
"This is Viola!! Viola is a sassy, but fun-loving girl who is two months old. She is a Chi/Terrier mix who currently weighs 4 lbs. Viola is fostered with two large dogs, a cat and children. Viola is currently working on her potty training, but she does well with using puppy pads."

Roman

Age: 2 years old / Breed: Chihuahua / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy
"Did someone say BALL? Roman is an 18 lb. bundle of energy! Even at 2 years old, he finds childlike joy in small things – a leaf floating past in the wind, a lone dandelion in a sea of grass, or a new toy. Even with his little Chihuahua (mix) legs, he loves long walks and can play fetch for hours. Want to just hang outside? He loves basking in the sun. When you’re ready for some couch time, make room for this guy to snuggle in next to you. He loves belly rubs! This lovable goofball is currently fostered with large dogs, cats and kids. Roman would be a loving addition to any home but has energy to burn."

Thunder Butt

Age: 2 year old / Breed: Domestic Short Hair / Sex: Male / Rescue: HART Animal Rescue
"Thunder Butt came to us from West Virginia. He’s a domestic short-haired, black and white, about two years old. He’s a little timid and likes to hide but is very sweet and loves to be held and petted. He’s coming out of his shell more every day! He would love to have a forever home!"

Kiya

Age: 2 years old / Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy
"Kiya is a 2 year old, female, German Shepherd mix and weights approximately 76 lbs. Kiya is also house-trained. She has been fostered with cats and loves to try and play with them. If you love to play fetch Kiya will love you forever, she loves to go fetch her toys and bring them back to you. Kiya would love to be able to run around outside and play until her hearts content. Also, she likes to protect those she loves and her house but is very open to new people when they introduce themselves. Kiya gets very excited when she sees other dogs and wants to go play so badly that it’s difficult for her to contain herself. When she’s not outside you can find her inside where she tries to be a lap dog and will smother you with kisses and paws your hand until you pet her."

Flapjack

Age: 2 years old / Breed: Saint Bernard / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy
"Meet Flapjack! This 2 year old, 130 pound hunk of love is ready and waiting to find the loves of his life! This sweet boy is a purebred Saint Bernard. He is fostered with other dogs and with kids. While this friendly guy doesn't have a mean bone in his body, he is far too interested in small animals, so he should definitely go to a cat and chicken free home! Flapjack loves a good game of fetch and a romp around the backyard, but sometimes he loves to explore the world outside of his yard, so Flapjack will need a family dedicated to constantly watching him while he is outside, so he doesn't slip under a fence and take a neighborhood stroll. Flapjack lived outside before coming to rescue, but he quickly learned to love the indoors - especially the couch!"
