Notes from Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue

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 Pretzel: The Little Miracle with a Big Heart!

Hi, I’m Pretzel! I am a super cute, lovable 1 yr old Schnauzer mix pup (approx. DOB 6/1/25). I might be small, but I have a story of huge resilience. I was rescued from a backyard breeder in Pinellas County. When I was first saved, I couldn't walk at all, but I’ve worked so hard, and I am now a happy, zooming puppy who loves life!

My Personality

I am incredibly sweet and affectionate. Now that I’ve learned how to walk, I love to explore! I am playful, eager to be loved, and just want to be with my people. I would do best in a home with another dog to play with. I love to chew on my nylabones and stuffies.

My Medical Journey

I do have some ongoing bathroom problems, but that doesn’t slow my spirit down! We had an MRI done and unfortunately nothing can be done to fix the problem. I do my best to go the bathroom outside but sometimes have accidents. My foster mom sometimes has me wear a belly band. I am looking for a special adopter who can help me continue my journey to becoming as strong as possible.

My Ideal Home

Other Dogs: Yes, I get along great with other dogs!

Cats: I don’t mind them at all but sure do like to bark at them

Kids: Because I’m still a young dog and a little "mouthy" when I get excited, I am recommended for a home with mature children.

If you are looking for a lovable, brave little companion and are willing to manage my needs, I am ready to be your best friend.

Pretzel's adoption fee is $400 - obedience training is required after adoption and fully enclosed front or backyard is also required.
