My story

Now Casting/Meet Vacation! Female • Rat Terrier/Basenji Mix • 3 months old She’s got the looks. She’s got the legs. She’s got the main character energy. And now, Vacation is ready for her leading role — in a forever home. &#226&#156&#168 Her origin story? Classic drama. Her mom was surrendered to the shelter 3 days before she was born and immediately scheduled for euthanasia. Legacy Humane Society stepped up at the 11th hour and saved her mom allowing Vacation and her sisters and brother to be born in a loving home. To their credit, the shelter did the right thing — they called rescue. Now Vacation is safe, thriving, and auditioning for a home that gets her.  She’s 3 months old, but already smart enough to change your WiFi password. A stunning girl with beautiful markings and eyes that absolutely hypnotize you. Her current hobbies include: – Running like a caffeinated tornado – Collecting squeaky toys – Wrestling her dog friends and siblings (small or large) – Scaling furniture like it’s Everest – Ignoring your cuddles until she’s ready then melting into your lap to watch Netflix. Resume highlights: &#226&#156&#133 Sleeps through the night in a crate &#226&#156&#133 Heads to the back door when it’s potty time &#226&#156&#133 Knows “sit” when snacks are involved Still working on “stay”  She’s smart, sassy, and so very Rat Terrier/Basenji. If you’re ready for a full-throttle puppy who’s beauty and brains (and some puppy chaos), Vacation is your girl! If you are looking for a new family member and think Vacation might be the one, please complete an application on our website and her foster mom will be in touch.  The adoption fee is $325.00 and covers her spay (to be done at 4 months of age at an LHS vet), three sets of vaccinations, de-wormer, first dose of heartworm preventative and microchip.  Please apply at: http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Vacation, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
