Addicus' Legacy Dog Rescue
Addicus' Legacy Dog Rescue in New England and Texas saves animals from high kill shelters and finds them forever homes. We always need fosters & adopters!
Addicus was a beloved rescue dog and through her legacy we want to save and rehome as many adoptable dogs as possible! Please share this page and encourage friends that are interested in getting a dog to adopt from a rescue and not support pet store puppy mills. There is an over population of dogs and we really do not need to be breeding more! Educate! Spay/Neuter! Rescue! We save many dogs from incredibly high kill shelters, in some cities the crisis is so terrible, they euthanize 5,000 dogs a year! Most of the dogs are adopted in Texas and in the New England area, but let us know if you fall in love with one you see online! We did the same thing, that's why we saved them! Addicus' Legacy is always looking for people provide "foster homes" in the New England area and Texas for the dogs we rescue. That means providing a temporary place for one of the dogs to stay until we can find them their "furever home". Did you realize that by just giving a pooch a place to crash you are actually saving their life? The dogs are usually adopted in approximately 1-4 weeks. If you're interested please email: [email protected]

Once an Addicus dog, always an Addicus dog. ❤️
We adopted Emmy out as a puppy, and recently we got a call that her family could no longer keep her.
Life changes. And when it does, we do everything we can to be there for the dogs we once promised to protect.
So Emmy came back to us — and we started looking for the right next chapter.
And boy, did we find it. ❤️
Emmy headed north and landed with the most wonderful family, where she has a canine sibling to snuggle with, a dad who clearly already adores her, and a home that feels like it was waiting for her all along.
Sometimes rescue isn’t a straight line. Sometimes we get to save them twice.
Happy new beginning, sweet Emmy. You’ll always be one of ours. 🐾❤️

🌈🌈🌈Some rescue photos never leave you. This was one of them.
We saw Baloo sitting in a terrible shelter in Mexico, looking defeated and unsure of the world around him. That photo haunted us.
Getting him out of Mexico and all the way to Austin was a long, complicated journey, but somehow we did it.
When Baloo first arrived, he didn’t quite know if people could be trusted. He was gentle and sweet, but cautious. Little by little, he learned that he was safe.
And then he got the life we had hoped for him.✨🩵
He found a wonderful family. He found a best dog friend. He found toys and soft beds and adventures and people who adored him. He learned what it meant to belong.✨🩵
This week, Baloo passed away, and this one hurts.
But when we look at that first shelter photo and then look at the life he went on to have, we are reminded why we keep doing this, even when rescue breaks our hearts.
Baloo did not die in that shelter. He did not leave this world unwanted or alone.
He left it as someone’s beloved dog.
Rest easy, sweet Baloo. You were so loved. And you will never, ever be forgotten. ❤️ (Thank you Isabel for being his advocate - none of this would have happened without you.)

Life of a street dog in the Rio Grande Valley.
Starving. Sick. Hairless. Just trying to survive.💔
And the white dog? We were told a man took a machete to his mouth and head.
They have suffered enough.
They need us — and we can't look away.💔
