Age: 1 year

Weight: 40lb

Feyre, pronounced FAY-RUH, is named after the brave, strong heroine of the ACOTAR book series. Feyre loves people, loves other dogs and is super playful. Her perfect evening consists of play time (she loves to fetch) or a walk, followed by snuggles on the couch. It's a big plus if belly rubs are included.

New places still make her a little nervous but she's getting better every day - she just needs a few minutes to feel safe when she encounters new things/places. She most likely wasn't exposed to much and never walked on a leash prior to landing at the shelter.

Feyre is super smart and learning new things every day. She can't wait to find a family and would LOVE to have a doggie friend that likes to run and play.

Feyre is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $275 and you can apply for her here if you're interested in learning more: Adoption Application - Legacy Humane Society

If you're looking for a sweet, funny, affectionate little companion who will keep you smiling and fill your home with love,
Buddy is your boy!

Buddy is a handsome, purebred Shih Tzu with striking black-and-white markings, an adorable little face, and a personality that's larger than life!

Read more about Buddy

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.

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.

Adopting a dog in Cross Roads

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
