Legend

My story

My name is Legend and I’m a purebred male Newfoundland. I’m almost 2 ½ years old and I weigh 125 lbs. I'm being cared for in a foster home in Omaha, NE. My first 2 years I lived with another Newf, a couple of cats, and my mom. Her grandkids visited almost every day but we didn’t go out much or do anything. She got sick and was unable to care for me any longer. I came from a good home and my first week in rescue was a little rough. The first day I was scared to leave home and scared to be in a new house. The 2nd day they took me to a groomer, it was great but still scary. The third day they took me to be neutered! How rude. All this was to much for me and I bit another dog and snapped at an 11-year-old boy. I don’t know if I was on edge because of all of the changes or if I had an adverse reaction to the pain medication I was given after my neuter. I’d never done anything like this in my previous home. I had to go to boarding for a week. They were very nice to me but I didn’t like it at all. Then I got a new foster home! I have lived here peacefully for a month now. I live with 4 other dogs and I love to play with them. A lot of people have come over to meet me and I love that, I am all about the head scratch. I am slowly learning how to walk on a leash (I love to pull). I am housebroken and have learned to use a doggy door. I do not like to be crated and will go to extreme measures to free myself. I am neutered, up to date on vaccinations and on heartworm and flea & tick preventatives. I am a big, healthy, handsome guy looking for my forever family! Our adoption fee is $300.00.
