FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How much does it cost to adopt?
Our adoption fee covers a portion of veterinary care, spay/neuter, microchipping, and vaccinations. Contact us for current fees — it is far less than what we invest in every dog.
β
Can I visit without adopting?
Absolutely. Text us at (318) 422-3750 to schedule a visit — whether you're considering adoption, want to volunteer, book a trail experience, or just need to spend time with dogs.
β
What is Rainbow Bridge Island?
A memorial sanctuary on our property where people come to honor dogs they've loved and lost. Hang collars, spread ashes, and heal alongside our rescue dogs. No adoption pressure — just peace.
β
What is the Trail Experience?
A personalized scent work scavenger hunt through our woodland trails and creek — flashlights only, after dark, genuinely scary year round. Donation only. Book at legacypawsrescue.org/experiences.
β
What is Magical Mutts?
Handcrafted plush rescue dogs that come to life at night. Rooted in dog psychology and emotional learning — designed to heal kids. Every purchase funds Legacy Paws Rescue. Available at legacypawsrescueshop.etsy.com
β
What is the journal series?
The journals started before the rescue did. Domenica made the first ones by hand for people drowning in depression, grief, and crisis — writing a prompt on every page of a blank notebook. They spread by word of mouth. One person told her the journal kept them alive through a single night. That's when she understood what she was building. Every journal sold funds Legacy Paws Rescue. Available at legacypawsrescueshop.etsy.com
β
Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes. Legacy Paws Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. EIN: 33-2211382. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
β
How do I get a paw-signed calendar?
Order online at legacypawsrescueshop.etsy.com for shipping, or text (318) 422-3750 to schedule a pickup visit — one of our dogs will paw-sign it for you in person.
