FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED Dutchess - Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption

Hi, I'm Dutchess, a 2-year-old Retriever mix who's ready for a fresh start! I'm a medium-sized girl at 35 pounds, and I'm looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home where I can thrive and show you what a wonderful companion I can be.

This animal is scheduled to arrive on transport to the NYC/NJ area on 6/6 and is in need of a foster home upon arrival.

We partner with overcrowded shelters across the country to bring animals into foster homes in the Northeast, where they can decompress and find their forever families.

What does it mean to foster?
The most important responsibility is providing a safe, loving home. We'll guide you through everything you need to know, including quarantine, basic care, and safety protocols. Our Foster Handbook and dedicated mentors are there to support you every step of the way.

What do you need?
Depending on the animal, you may need supplies like a crate, puppy pads, or food and water bowls-but don't worry, we have a large foster network that helps share resources! Louie's Legacy covers all approved medical care, including vetting and spay/neuter.

By fostering, YOU are making a difference. Every foster opens the door to saving another life.

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.
