My story

Spay/Neuter of dog is scheduled at a vet of our choosing and is part of the adoption fee - date will be on the adoption contract - this is if not already sterilized.   We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available. Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups.   Completion certificate for training needs to be emailed once complete.  When applying pictures/videos of your fully enclosed yard is needed. Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com Meet Ryder & Ryver – The Dynamic Duo You Didn’t Know You Needed!   Some pairs are just meant to be—like peanut butter and jelly, movies and popcorn, or in this case, Ryder and Ryver! These two adorable sidekicks are on the hunt for a foster (or forever) home where they can continue being their lovable, quirky selves.   Ryder – The Little Guy with a Big Personality   Ryder may be small, but he’s got enough charm to fill a whole house! Since being fixed, his bark has dialed down significantly, though he still likes to make sure you know he’s around. He’s the ultimate cuddle connoisseur, happiest when he’s snuggled in your arms or stretched out beside you in the grass, soaking up the sun. He’s also got a signature move—spinning in a circle before he poops (because why not add a little flair to the routine?).   This little guy is a pro at crate training, sleeping through the night like a champ and happily trotting inside when there’s a treat involved. He enjoys walks, though he prefers a confident buddy leading the way. Ryder is great with other small dogs, does well with kids, and even coexists with cats—though he sometimes can’t resist a little chase. While he's still fine-tuning his potty-training skills, he’s come a long way and is making steady progress.   Mealtime is serious business for Ryder, so he feels safest eating in his crate (sharing with Ryver? Not happening!). He can also get a bit impatient when food is on the horizon—he’s basically a tiny, furry alarm clock when dinner is being prepared. But honestly, who doesn’t get a little dramatic when they’re hungry?   Ryver – The Sweet & Shy Soul   If Ryder is the spark, Ryver is the calm, steady glow. She’s a little more reserved when meeting new people, but once she trusts you, she’s all in. She enjoys lounging outside with her favorite humans, curling up on the couch, and sticking close to your feet while you work or relax.   Ryver is also crate trained and knows the drill when treats are involved—she’ll trot right in like a pro. She loves a good walk but is on the shy side, so she’ll need a harness to help her feel secure. Loud noises or busy streets aren’t really her thing, so peaceful strolls in quieter areas are best.   She and Ryder make the perfect playmates, entertaining each other with backyard zoomies and playful antics. While she’s a little more hesitant at first, she’s a total sweetheart who thrives in a loving, patient environment.   The Perfect Home?   This adorable pair would do best in a home with a fenced backyard where they can romp and relax. Apartment life isn’t ideal for them—Ryder’s bark is much better since he was fixed, but he still has opinions to share now and then. They’re great with other small dogs, and while Ryder has a curious streak when it comes to cats, he mostly minds his own business.   Both are fixed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, just waiting for a home to call their own. If you’re ready for double the love, double the fun, and two loyal companions who will keep you endlessly entertained, apply to foster or adopt today! Bonded Pair Ryker & Ryver's adoption fee is $600 -  obedience training is required after adoption and fully enclosed front or backyard is also required. To apply to foster or adopt please fill out application at www.heidislegacydogrescue.com/apply-to-foster-or-adopt Thank you for completing the application.
