Story
Abbi came into our home 2 years ago and stole our hearts! She's about 3 years old. She’s patient with everyone (adults, teens, and kids). She gets super excited to go for walks, outside, car rides, for visitors and is amazing in her crate. She’s a massive cuddler but also enjoys laying alone. She’s a sunshine puppy but will not hesitate to shove her nose in the snow and hop around. She doesn’t chase animals (birds, cats, squirrels, etc) and does great with cats of all ages/sizes. She’s our personal door bell, letting us know someone’s at our door but also knows how to use her inside voice when asked. She hasn’t shown any aggressiveness besides a barking at strangers who get too close, but she also does it for attention. We're looking for a loving home with a family who can handle a strong energetic dog. While she has a lot of energy, she likes spending her days on the couch sleeping while we work. Fun fact: She has a fear of Altoid mints and will take off running if she smells them

Story
Blue is about 5 years old, I got him when he was a puppy from a local animal shelter and brought him from Florida up to Ohio with me a couple years ago. He’s an amazing and loving dog with an adorable personality, wants to always be with me cuddling or in my presence. He’s a huge baby, scared of thunder storms and rain, loves to play and be pet and held like he’s a lap dog. He has some anxiety including some anxiety behaviors especially with strangers, he needs time to feel comfortable, and needs a little re-training in behaviors. I am moving and am unable to bring him with me, if I can’t find a home for him euthanasia will be the unfortunate outcome.

Puck is a 1 year and 7 month old Pitbull mix. He came to Angels for Animals as a stray on July 24, 2024.

It was quickly address and today, Puck is all better and has really come out of his shell. He is a little nervous around new people but loves to play outside and walks on a leash very well. He even knows sit and paw. Puck will need to be the only pet in the home.

Story
Meet Bagel. Bagel is a husky/boxer mix (mostly boxer) and is approximately 2 yrs old.  She is spayed and up to date on shots.  Bagel would do best in a calm home with no kids or older kids that listen and respect animals.  She does great with my 3 kids (ages 16, 13, and 9) but does not like when my boys play rough.  When I took her in I was told she hated men but I have been working with her and she absolutely loves my husband now.  I was told her previous owners had an aggressive man in the house and I’m guessing that’s where her dislike for men came from.  However, I feel she is much better now and given a safe environment men are no longer an issue.  She just needs to know she is safe.  She is crate trained.  Bagel is also house trained but does have little accidents when she’s excited so I just try to take her out every 10-15 minutes when she is super excited.  She is an absolute love bug.  She loves to cuddle up under the blankets and gets tucked in every night.  She goes in her crate and I tell her to lay down and then I cover her up and a lot of the times she will lay her head down before the crate is even closed.  Bagel also LOVES toys, and I mean loves!  She will literally get 20-25 toys out with 20 minutes, and no, sadly she does not put them away lol.   Overall she is a very calm girl.   She jumps very minimal and usually only when you are playing and getting her wound up.  She definitely does have the boxer “boxing” trait.  She will absolutely use her paws (I find it super cute).  She has never been in the house with cats but we do have lots of barn cats and she doesn’t mind them unless they are eating her food and then she will bark at them. I have not had her with my dogs as my dogs are not other dogs friendly.  Although I was told that she gets along with other dogs and I think she would be fine with other dog friendly dogs (but not tested to be clear).  She had a lot of fear when I first took her in and she does still need some extra lovins to learn that she is safe and I think she will be the absolute perfect dog. She has a wonderful personality and a very sweet demeanor.   She was dog tested and did great, she'd love a friend to play with and show her the ropes! You can apply at www.ldrofohio.org Our adoption process starts with our application. Once the application is approved, a member of Legacy will contact you to set up a home visit. The home visit usually last 1-1.5 hours and is to make sure our dog and any current dogs/cats are getting along, as well as both of us agreeing it's a fit. At this time the adoption fee is due, and begins the 2 week trial. We will check in during the 2 week trial. If it's not working, our dog is returned to the foster home and all except $100.00 {$75 if Senior} of the adoption fee is returned. At the end of the 2 week trial, you decide if you will finalize the adoption - if finalized, the Adoption Contract is signed and all medical records are turned over to you. If at any time you need to rehome the dog it contractually needs to be returned to Legacy Dog Rescue.  ADOPTION FEE's: Puppies under 6 months:  $199.00 Adults:  $150.00 Seniors (over 7 yrs):  $99.00  If you are interested in one of our dogs please fill out an application:  https://form.jotform.com/193425528783165
