Meet Varrius-"Rus" for short! At just 4 months old and 19lbs, Rus is already turning heads with his striking good looks and even sweeter personality. His sleek black coat is beautifully accented with rich tan markings above his eyes, on his cheeks, chest, and legs-giving him that classic, handsome "eyebrow" expression that always looks curious and attentive. And those big, upright ears? They only add to his alert, charming presence. Rus is as lovable as he is good-looking. He's potty trained to go outside in the yard and crate trained, happily sleeping through the night like a pro. He's already picking up basic commands and is eager to keep learning-especially when there's praise (and maybe a treat) involved. In his foster home, Rus has proven to be a social butterfly. He loves playing in the yard with his foster doggy sister and running around with the 2-year-old toddler. He's fantastic with kids and truly just loves people-anyone he meets is instantly his new best friend, greeted with a wagging tail and plenty of kisses. Rus is the definition of a shadow companion. Wherever you go, he'll be right there beside you, happy just to be part of whatever you're doing. And when it's time to relax? He'll flop right onto his back, ready for belly rubs and soaking up all the love he can get. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and playful pup who will be your constant companion and best friend, Rus is ready to fill that role perfectly. Varrius is currently being fostered in New Jersey. The adoption fee for this animal is $575. 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.
