A home with a securely fenced yard would be the best fit, giving Wilson room to enjoy being a dog while keeping everyday leash pressure low as he learns.

Wilson is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heart worm negative. All he's missing is a family to call his own.

If you have a little patience, a yard, and room in your heart for a sweet boy finding his courage, Wilson would love to meet you.

Phoenix is around 14 to 15 weeks old. He’s had two rounds of shots dewormed several times has been being kept in Foster as an indoor family pet where he’s also become crate trained and 90% housebroken.

Phoenix is really playful. He has an above average energy level - it’s normal for a puppy. It’s just seven or eight out of 10. Phoenix absolutely loves playing with his little brother and the big Foster dogs that he’s been staying with!

Phoenix is smart and eager to please; he’s just learning some commands and all about fetch and retrieve.

Phoenix is also a cuddler; he’s still young enough of a puppy where he runs around for 15 or 20 minutes then he’s wiped out for a few hours for a good nap and there’s nothing he loves more than hanging with his humans!

Beautiful Phoenix will be at DASH in Dallas this weekend. We are hoping to find the right family for him for this Halloween and daylight savings weekend!
It will be darker. It will be colder. What could be better than a puppy to warm up you and your family!

Ideally, he would go to a home with another young, active playful dog he, he’s a great playmate and Canine Companion

Petey has a nice balance of playful energy and calm downtime. He enjoys gentle wrestling, chasing around the yard, going for walks, chewing on bones or toys, and joining in whenever another dog wants to play. Once the fun is over, he settles easily and is perfectly happy lounging on his mat as long as his family is nearby. He is inquisitive, loves a new adventure, and seems to feel most secure when he knows he is part of the action.

Petey's story has had some unexpected turns. He was once scheduled for euthanasia at Dallas Animal Services before being adopted, but when his previous owner later lost his housing and could no longer care for him, Petey once again found himself needing a safe place to land. Through it all, he has remained an incredibly gentle, loving dog who bonds easily with both people and other pets.

His ideal home would include plenty of companionship, room to play, regular walks, lots of snuggle time, and possibly another dog or two to share life with. If you are looking for a sweet, social dog who wants nothing more than to love his family and be included in everything, Petey may be your perfect match.

Fletcher is potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, and great with both dogs and kids. He loves people and wants to be wherever his family is. He is always up for a walk, a game of ball, or some backyard zoomies, but he also knows how to settle down and enjoy a good nap or cuddle session. His favorite things include treats, chew toys, antlers, and especially stuffed toys, which he loves to carry around and snuggle with.

His perfect day starts with a morning walk and breakfast, followed by some serious nap time. He is happy to head outside around lunch, enjoys a bigger afternoon walk, and then settles in for dinner and more snuggles before sleeping in his crate at night. Fletcher is not over-the-top high energy, but he definitely has a silly side and can get wonderfully goofy when playtime starts.

More than anything, Fletcher is just a genuinely sweet dog. He has done beautifully with every person and dog he has met and bonds closely with his people. If you are looking for a loyal companion who can make you laugh, join you on adventures, and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Fletcher may be your guy.

Onyx is crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and does well with kids, cats, and other dogs. He enjoys playing ball, running outside, and chasing around with canine friends, but he also appreciates plenty of downtime. He is very intelligent, curious, and deeply connected to his people. His foster describes him as a gentle giant who loves to keep watch over the home and will happily alert you when someone comes to the door.

More than anything, Onyx is a devoted companion. He loves being near his humans, has stayed close during difficult moments, and truly seems to take his role as protector seriously. He is also quite the talker and is not shy about joining the conversation. If you are looking for a loyal, playful, affectionate dog who will stick close by your side, Onyx may be your guy.

Skylar is a loving and adorable Aussie blue heeler mix whose blue eyes will fill your heart and soul.
Skylar, 4 years old, was adopted18 months ago and her family adores her. She has a sweet loving nature and loves to be around her people.
However, her owner has a high risk pregnancy and have very limited activity and she and her husband are very worried that even after the pregnancy Skylar is going to continue to need the attention and affection she is used to.
Skylar has very balanced indoor and outdoor behavior. Indoors Skyler can be very chill; he will play with toys or watch a movie with you or lie around on the floor with a high value chewy toy.
Outdoors Skyler’s energy is also equitable; she’s as fun and outgoing as you want her to be. She is ALWAYS ready to play and go on walks. She can go on leisurely leash walks and/or be a jogging buddy. activities. With other dogs, hiking, swimming, and exploring Skylar‘s energy could be limitless but she will still come when called and behave well in outdoor group settings.
Skylar knows a few tricks and commands and she’s an eager learner and very food motivated so she’ll be a fun dog to train to do more tricks and obedience work.
Skylar loves to come curl up with you on the couch and loves attention.
Skylar has been very tolerant with our young kids and when she hasn't liked something they're doing she'll lick their faces or move away to get them to stop.
Skyler’s very cuddly and snuggly; she has a funny habit where when she is hungry, she'll put her head on my lap while I'm eating to signal that she wants to eat too, so I'll fill up her bowl.
Skylar has never demonstrated food aggression or resource guarding even with another dog in the home. She was really great with our foster puppies!
Skylar loves to roll around in the grass; crosses her front paws when she's upright and looks so cute and proper.
Skylar has always been friendly when we meet other dogs on walks and she did fantastic with our foster puppies.
It is with broken hearts we have decided it’s best to rehome Skylar so that she can regain the attention she’s used to having . Since we have had children in the past couple of years, it’s been a lot more challenging to take Skylar on the amount of walks that she deserves, so she may need a refresher course in leash training, but she will learn quickly be respectful and become a pleasure again to take on walks.
With her balanced energy, juxtaposed, ears, and beautiful light ice-blue eyes Scarlett will take no time to ruin your heart.

He is currently staying with her mother, who works long hours in the medical field and has an unpredictable schedule.
Without a consistent human presence, Copper has become increasingly anxious and insecure. We are hoping to find him a home where he can receive the time, attention, and companionship he deserves.
Wonderful With Other Dogs!
Copper is fantastic with canine companions! He grew up with a Shiba Inu and currently lives alongside a Border Collie and a Mountain Dog. He has a great history of living with other dogs, making him a wonderful candidate for a home with friendly canine siblings.
A 10/10 Out and About!
When it comes to getting out and about, Copper is a 10/10! His owner describes him as AMAZING in public places. He enjoys experiencing the world around him and is a wonderful companion for outings and adventures. His leash skills could use a little refresher, but that’s something his new family can work on with him.
The Best of Both Worlds!
Copper has the ideal energy level for an Aussie. He’s happy to chill when you want to relax and ready to play when you’re in the mood for fun!
He LOVES tennis balls and playing catch, but he also has a sweet, cuddly side. When it’s time to settle in at home, Copper is more than happy to snuggle up beside his favorite human.
Could You Be Copper’s Person?
Copper is an AMAZING boy who simply needs a patient, compassionate home where he can feel secure and loved again. He would thrive in a household where his people are home more consistently and he can enjoy the companionship of both humans and, ideally, other friendly dogs throughout the day.
His circumstances have changed through no fault of his own, and he deserves a fresh start with a family who understands how much love, companionship, and reassurance he needs.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, dog-friendly Aussie with a playful spirit and a heart full of cuddles, Copper might just be your perfect match!

Remi is potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, and rides well in the car. She does wonderfully with kids, including toddlers, and is gentle, polite, and never pushy. She also does well with other dogs, especially calm dogs her size or smaller, and after a little time to warm up, she is happy to play and share toys. Cats are still an unknown. Indoors, Remi is quiet and easygoing. She rarely barks, settles into household routines easily, and is perfectly happy napping in whatever room her people are in. At night, she likes sleeping nearby on her big fluffy dog bed, complete with the occasional snore and little dream "woofs."

Don't let her age fool you, because Remi is still active, healthy, and always up for a walk, some yard time, or a new adventure. She is also a major treat fan and performs an adorable little "dinner dance" when mealtime rolls around.

Remi's story almost ended far too soon when she landed on the euthanasia list at Dallas Animal Services. Her foster family saw her profile, said "absolutely not," and brought her home. Since then, she has shown them just how special she is. Loving, joyful, goofy, polite, and endlessly sweet, Remi is the kind of dog whose smile and helicopter tail can brighten an entire room.

Her foster family jokes that she does not have a "you're in trouble" full name. Instead, she has a "you are being ridiculously precious" name: "Remitha Marie". If you are looking for a gentle companion who wants to be your shadow, soak up the sun, and love your family with her whole heart, Remi may be exactly who you have been waiting for.

Layla is truly an easygoing girl. She is potty trained, walks beautifully on leash, loves car rides, and enjoys a leisurely stroll of about a mile before settling in for one of her many naps. She is wonderful with people, has done great with children and dogs of all sizes, and even calmly walks away when another dog is less than friendly. Her previous notes recommend a home without cats. Layla may also be experiencing some hearing loss, but she takes it all in stride. She does not enjoy being crated, though she does wonderfully free roaming or relaxing in a bedroom while her people are away.

More than anything, Layla wants to be close to her people. She is a professional shadow with a velvet-soft coat, a gentle spirit, and just enough playful energy left for toys and the occasional burst of silliness between naps. After losing her person, her home, and her canine brothers, Layla deserves to spend the rest of her golden years knowing she is home for good.

This happy little fellow enjoys the finer things in life, especially food! Buddy is a little on the chunky side and certainly doesn't believe in missing a meal! One of his most adorable habits is sitting up on his back legs and having an entire conversation with you. He's quite the little comedian and knows exactly how to charm his audience, especially when treats are involved!

Behind all that personality is an incredibly loving little boy who adores affection, snuggles, and simply being close to his people. Buddy has so much love to give and is ready to share it with someone special.

Buddy's Story

Buddy's world changed when his beloved owner passed away. Thankfully, a caring family member stepped in to provide a loving home for Buddy and his sister, Baby, during a very difficult time.

Unfortunately, when their caregiver faced eviction and could no longer keep them, the heartbreaking decision was made to ask for help finding them safe, loving homes.

That's when Legacy Humane Society stepped in to give Buddy and Baby the opportunity for a wonderful new beginning.

Despite all the changes in his life, Buddy has remained a happy, loving, affectionate little gentleman. He has so much personality and an incredible ability to make everyone around him smile.

Now, at 8 years young, Buddy is hoping to find a forever family who will cherish him, spoil him with love, and give him the security of knowing he will never have to worry about losing his home again.

What Makes Buddy So Special?

A Little Comedian! Buddy loves to sit up on his back legs and "talk" to you! Whether he's asking for a treat, some attention, or just wants to join the conversation, he will keep you entertained with his adorable antics.

A Professional Food Enthusiast! Buddy LOVES his food and treats! He's a little chunky, and his enthusiasm for mealtime is just another part of his irresistible personality.

A Sweet and Affectionate Companion! Buddy enjoys being loved on, spending time with his people, and soaking up all the attention he can get. He has a gentle, loving side that makes him an absolutely wonderful companion.

A Great Little Houseguest! Buddy is both house-trained and crate-trained. Even better, he is trustworthy when left alone and does not need to be crated while his family is away.

A Wonderful Walking Buddy! Buddy walks nicely on a leash and enjoys getting outside for short walks, fresh air, and a little adventure.

Your Favorite Copilot! Buddy loves car rides and especially enjoys riding shotgun! He's always happy to accompany his favorite person on an outing.

Dog and Family Friendly!
Buddy does well with other dogs and would be a wonderful companion in a home with older children who understand how to be gentle and respectful with smaller dogs.

Buddy's Health & Care

Buddy has been well cared for and is ready for the next chapter of his life!

8 years old

Approximately 18 pounds

Purebred Shih Tzu

Neutered

Up to date on vaccinations

Just had a full dental!

House-trained and crate-trained

Good with older, respectful children

Buddy has a beautiful, low-shedding Shih Tzu coat that requires regular professional grooming and daily brushing to keep him comfortable, healthy, and looking his handsome best.

Buddy's Dream Forever Home

Buddy isn't asking for much. Just a loving family, a comfortable place to rest, some delicious meals, an occasional treat (or two!), and people who will appreciate his silly personality and shower him with affection.

He would love a home where he can enjoy being part of the family, accompany hi

RUBS!
She certainly doesn't miss a chance to get one and knows exactly how to charm her way into a belly rub by rolling over on her back and looking up at you with the sweetest expression! She'll happily cuddle and snuggle with the slightest invitation, especially if there might be a tasty reward involved! This little princess knows exactly how to win your heart.

But Baby isn't just entertaining; she's an incredibly loving and affectionate little girl who enjoys spending time with her people. Whether she's snuggling beside you on the couch, keeping you company around the house, or simply soaking up your attention, Baby is happiest when she's surrounded by love.

Baby is house-trained and crate-trained and can be trusted to have free roam of the house. She walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys short strolls in nice weather. She's also always up for a car ride and loves riding shotgun with her favorite person! Whether you're heading out for a little adventure or enjoying a quiet afternoon at home, Baby is happy to be right by your side.

Baby's Story

Baby and her beloved brother, Buddy, have experienced some heartbreaking changes in their lives. Their world was turned upside down when their mom passed away. A loving family member stepped in and opened her home to them, determined to keep these precious little dog's safe and loved. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected eviction, she is unable to take them to her new home.

Wanting only the very best for Baby and Buddy, she reached out to Legacy Humane Society for help finding them the loving forever home they deserve.

Through all these changes, Baby has remained a sweet, happy little girl with so much love to give. She and Buddy have been best friends their entire lives, and our greatest wish is to find a wonderful family willing to adopt them together so they can spend their golden years side by side.

Imagine having twice the love, twice the snuggles, and twice the entertainment from these two adorable little companions!

A Little More About Baby

Baby is approximately 15 pounds, spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and heartworm negative. She has also just received a full dental cleaning, so this precious little princess is all caught up on her veterinary care and ready to begin her next chapter with a loving forever family!

Baby is good with other dogs and older, respectful children. She is house-trained and crate-trained and can be trusted to have free roam of the house.

Like other Shih Tzus, Baby is a low-shedding breed but requires regular professional grooming and daily brushing to keep her beautiful coat healthy and comfortable.

At eight years young, Baby still has plenty of love, laughter, and wonderful memories to share. She's looking for a family who will treasure her, spoil her with affection, and give her the security of knowing she's finally home for good.

Could you be the happy ending Baby and Buddy have been waiting for?

If you have room in your heart and home for this precious little girl, and hopefully her beloved brother, Buddy, too, please consider opening your heart to them. They've already lost so much, and they deserve a future filled with love, comfort, and happiness.

He’s so gentle and quiet he was prioritized to be kept alive to wait for the right Rescue group; They don’t do adoptions directly.
As soon as I saw him I fell in love with his extremely unique markings and gentle looking face.
He rarely barks And he gets along with all of the dogs, both of mine and Foster dogs that have come in and out for a night or two.
Blaze is really ready for a forever home with someone, compassionate and patient. He’s just been living indoors for the past month and will need time for a lease training and other group activities.
Right now he’d be the ideal Companion for a home with or without another dog and he shows no prey drive as far as cats. Blaze is very gentle, but doesn’t seem like he would be very fun for children.
Blaze is housebroken, he does not need a crate, is very affectionate with people he knows and just calm and quiet with new faces.

Meet Enzo!
❤️

Enzo is a 2-year-old, big-hearted, goofy, and incredibly sweet boy who brings laughter and love wherever he goes!

With an energy level of
8/10
, Enzo is always ready for an adventure, a game of chase, or some good old-fashioned fun. He especially loves high-energy dogs who enjoy running, playing, and roughhousing. His favorite companions are often Whippets and other playful pups who can keep up with his energetic spirit.

Enzo is part yoga master, part little fox, part seal—and maybe even half cat! He loves curling himself into a tiny ball, performing surprise barrel rolls, giving gentle little love nibbles, and sleeping with his back feet in the air. His silly quirks will keep you smiling, while his affectionate nature will quickly steal your heart.

Enzo is smart, eager to learn, and already knows several commands. He’s also a wonderful travel companion and does beautifully on car rides—even those lasting 10 hours!

Enzo is looking for a loving home with someone who understands and appreciates his energy. He’ll thrive with plenty of exercise, playtime, companionship, and mental stimulation. He can experience separation anxiety, especially when he hasn’t had an outlet for his energy, so he needs a family willing to support him with patience, structure, and understanding.

Enzo generally does well with other dogs and enjoys doggy daycare and dog parks. He does best with larger, energetic dogs who enjoy rough play, though he also has experience with smaller, calmer dogs. On walks, he may become leash-reactive if another dog lunges at him, and he needs a thoughtful handler who can help him navigate those encounters. He typically prefers to avoid conflict and will walk away when possible, but he has shown aggression toward dogs that bully or challenge him.

Enzo has so much love, laughter, and adventure to give. He’s ready to find his forever family!
❤️

Could you be the person Enzo has been waiting for?

Unfortunately, Montana wasn’t treated the best in his previous home, but despite that, he is still as sweet, gentle, and loving as can be. He is completely housebroken, walks well on a leash, loves to play fetch, and is happiest when he can be right by your side. Montana is also good with children and is especially gentle with younger kids.

He needs a home without cats but could do well with other dogs with a proper meet and greet. This handsome boy will thrive with a family that can continue to provide him with love, structure, consistency, and encouragement.

Janet was once sitting in a shelter with no interest and at the top of the euthanasia list. Thankfully, her foster saw that sweet face and knew she still had so much life and love left to give. She arrived nervous and unsure, but watching her learn to trust again has been pretty special. Now she sleeps in her foster's bed, curls up in their lap, and happily follows them everywhere.

Janet doesn't need much from her forever home. Give her a comfy place to sleep, a leisurely sniff walk, plenty of cuddles, and a human to call her own. She'll take care of the rest by being your sweetest little shadow.

Indy has plenty of athletic energy and would thrive with someone who enjoys an active dog. She loves to run, jump, chase, and play, and she has some serious hops, so an agility-loving home could be a lot of fun for her. She does use her mouth during play, but has not bitten down, and she can get pretty enthusiastic when playing with other dogs. Once playtime is over, though, she is all about her people. She loves belly rubs, couch cuddles, and will happily nudge her head under your hand if she decides she is overdue for affection.

More than anything, Indy wants to bond closely with her person. She is curious, resilient, and very people-focused, and she settles nicely into a home routine. If you are looking for a smart, loving, athletic dog who can keep up with adventures and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Indy may be your girl.

Mickey is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and on flea/tick/heartworm medications. She has made great progress in impulse control, recall, a reliable sit/down stay, and is pen-trained and partially house trained. Her previous owners utilized trainers and veterinary-directed medication to address anxiety, but her foster family found that an active lifestyle better suited to her breed made all the difference. She loves to sniff, run, play, chase, and cuddle!

If you're interested in learning more about Mickey, please apply online and we'll be in touch. Her adoption fee is $275.
