Dakota is an amiable 18-month-old 80-pound male mastiff mix who desperately needs a home. He has been neutered, has all his shots, has a microchip and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. He is definitely a people lover. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body but he is very athletic and sometimes doesn't realize how big he is when he's playing. However, his foster family has been working with him on containing his excitement better. He likes to wrestle with other dogs his size, lounge by the pool on hot days and gnaw on a bone when he can get one. With additional training, he would make an excellent service dog. Anyone interested in adopting Dakota can contact Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue.

He bears little resemblance to the German shepherd that was discovered in a home alone following the death of his owner in July. Back then, Bruno was near death. He was starving, covered with mange and had open, bleeding sores on his feet, making it difficult for him to move or lay down. No one knows how long he was left alone without food and water after his owner died. Hearing about Bruno's circumstances, Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue in Lithia, founded by Lori Hoffman, promptly came to his rescue. Bruno remains under veterinary care but has made drastic improvements, said Hoffman. "Although he seems to have recovered from most of his issues, we are still battling with MRSA," said Hoffman. MRSA is a virulent antibiotic-resistance staph …

Snowflake was just days away from being euthanized at a kill shelter when a rescue group stepped in and saved her. She's a healthy year-old German shepherd mix, on the small side, weighing just 45 pounds. She's very playful and loves kids, especially when they throw the ball with her. She is good with other dogs, shares her toys nicely, has no food aggression and is just plain curious about cats. She will need obedience training and a family with the patience to work with a dog that needs a lot of mental and physical stimulation. She is a very sweet, affectionate dog who will make some family an ideal pet. Snowflake is house and crate trained, loves to lay on her doggy bed and enjoys going for walks. She is a bundle of energy and would …

She's gorgeous now, but when Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue found Angel, she had a collar embedded in her neck and someone had hacked her fur off with a razer. A collar becomes embedded when it's placed on a dog's neck when the dog is young and then no one bothers to loosen it as the dog matures. The too-tight collar actually becomes embedded in the dog's neck, causing open wounds and pain. Angel is a solid white semi long-haired German shepherd with beautiful brown eyes. She's about 2 years old. After her mistreatment, she's now slowly coming out of her shell. She would be best suited for someone who has a quiet lifestyle and not many visitors. She is not scared of people. She just cowers when she's introduced to new situations and becomes …
