Avis - Australian Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption

Meet Avis!

Avis is a one-year-old, 30-pound Aussie mix who loves nothing more than cuddling with her people. She is a quiet, gentle girl with a nurturing personality and a heart full of love.

Avis is wonderful with her foster siblings and patiently lets the younger puppies climb all over her and play. She absolutely adores her foster family's daughter and especially enjoys snuggling up and sleeping in her bed. Avis also gets along well with the resident cat and appreciates the companionship of her furry housemates. She is both house and crate trained as well!

Despite her calm demeanor, Avis has a funny side. Her foster family says they have only ever heard her bark while watching horse racing, which everyone found absolutely hysterical.

If you are looking for a beautiful, low-energy companion with a sweet and loving nature, Avis may be the perfect pup for you.

Avis is currently being fostered in Staten Island, NY. Her adoption fee is $500.

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.

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

VISION To help rescue more animals, more quickly, by working in a positive, professional and collaborative way with our community....
