About Legend

Meet Legend! This sweet Akita/Pit mix came to us as part of an accidental litter and is looking for a loving home. Legend can be a bit nervous around new people, but with patience, his sweet personality really shines through. He needs a kind and understanding family that will give him time to settle in and learn that the world is a great place. We believe he’d do well with both children and other dogs, especially with gentle introductions to set him up for success. Legend is eager for someone to cheer him on as he grows into the confident companion we know he can be. If you’re looking for a young pup to bond with, Legend could be your perfect match! Currently, he is available for foster-to-adopt for families living within 30 minutes of our shelter, as we finalize his medical needs. All our dogs, including Legend, are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm tested if old enough. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
