About Legend

Legend is your ideal lapdog, ready to shower you with love. Despite having had a left eye enucleation due to glaucoma, this 8-year-old Cocker Spaniel’s energy is contagious. His keen hearing helps him navigate his surroundings, ensuring he doesn’t miss a beat. Originally a bit growly during his introduction to a lively pack of three Cockers, he quickly adjusted and now enjoys their company. While he might take some time to feel comfortable with new dogs, he warms up with patience. He adores yak bones and his toys don’t stand a chance against his gentle play style. Legend is house-trained and picks up on routines swiftly, sitting for treats after a fun twirl. He’s an affectionate guy who thrives on human interaction and will be just as thrilled to greet guests as he is to welcome you home after a long day. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who enjoys being outdoors and making new friends, Legend fits the bill perfectly. If you’re interested in adopting him, an approved application is required, which you can find on our website. Reach out with any questions!
