Meet Silas! Silas is a 3-year-old, 15-lb mixed breed with a gentle, sensitive nature. He's a quiet, shy, and reserved little guy who is still learning to feel comfortable in a home environment. His confidence really starts to grow around other dogs, and he would likely do best in a home with a calm, friendly canine companion to help him feel more secure and show him the ropes. Silas is still getting used to being handled and will need a patient adopter who can give him time, space, and consistency as he continues to build trust. He is house trained and also reliably uses pee pads, with no accidents when pads are available. He will go outside as well, though he is not leash trained just yet. Silas finds comfort in having a crate and will often choose it as his safe, cozy retreat. Some of his favorite things include soft, fluffy beds and warm, cozy spots where he can relax and observe the world around him. Silas would do best in a calm, low-pressure home with someone who understands that he may take a little time to fully open up, but will appreciate the quiet companionship he offers along the way. Silas is currently being fostered in Middletown, NJ. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
