Meet “Britt” aka Brittle

***DFW area only-No Exceptions*** Brittle is a ~7 week (as of 2/20/25) old Chihuahua mix puppy. He was found stray with his brother Peanut. It’s dangerous for such young puppies to be in the shelter, so his foster mom brought him into the Legacy Humane fold! Brittle loves to be played with, enjoys jumping in laps, and is very social. He gives sweet kisses and likes to be held near your neck for snuggles. He’s lively and fun. Puppies at this age will require patience and training to become the best pup they can be. Brittle is working on potty training will begin crate training soon. Brittle would best be suited for a home with older kids due to his small size.  He is new to his foster home and is getting used to larger dogs and cat friends.  Current weigh: ~4lbs Projected weight 20-30 lbs    We are requesting a donation of $325 for the adoption which includes his neuter, three rounds of puppy vaccines, a rabies vaccine, microchip with registration, dewormer and a single dose of heartworm preventative.  If you're interested in meeting or adopting him, please complete an application on our website and someone will reach out to you within 48 hours.  https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Adopter will take puppy to an LHS approved vet to be neutered in May of 2025 per the spay/neuter agreement and in accordance to Chapter 828, Texas Health and Safety Code.  *Due to the high volume of applications and inquires for puppies as well as vetting needs, we will not be able to respond to or consider interest from those outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth Area.   We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.

Adoption Process
$200 fee for dogs and $250 puppies. They are fully vetted and put in foster homes until they are adopted. Adopters complete an adoption app and we will check their vet reference or do a home check. Once they are approved,they will meet w/ the foster family and dog to see if it's a good match for their family.
