My story

Spay/Neuter of dog is scheduled at a vet of our choosing and is part of the adoption fee - date will be on the adoption contract - this is if not already sterilized.   We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available. Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups.   Completion certificate for training needs to be emailed once complete.  When applying pictures/videos of your fully enclosed yard is needed. Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com Meet Diesel — a six-month-old bundle of energy with “ears for years” and a heart to match. This lively little guy is a probable mix of Miniature Pinscher and Jack Russell Terrier, weighing in at just 12 lbs but packing in plenty of personality. He’s friendly, affectionate, and smart as can be. Diesel loves other dogs, is eager to learn, and would thrive in a home that can keep up with his zest for life. At-a-Glance • Breed: Likely Min Pin / Jack Russell mix • Age: 6 months • Weight: 12 lbs • Good with Dogs: Yes — loves them! • Good with Kids: Yes, especially older kids who understand puppy energy • Good with Cats: No • Training: Knows “sit,” “down,” and “leave it” — very food motivated • Personality: Energetic, social, curious, eager to please • Ideal Home: Has another playful dog or a family committed to ongoing socialization and training Diesel has already shown he can learn quickly and will be an amazing companion for an active home. If you’re ready for an affectionate, energetic buddy who will keep you smiling, apply today through Heidi’s Legacy Dog Rescue — they always go the extra mile for their animals. Adoption portraits sponsored by John Gascot by Urban Dog Studio through Pawsitive Exposure Project. Diesel's adoption fee is $500 - obedience training is required after adoption and fully enclosed front or backyard is also required.
