Legacy Humane Society is dedicated to the simple, powerful goal of giving unwanted, abandoned, or injured pets a second chance at a happy life. We believe that every loyal soul deserves the safety of a permanent, loving home.
Established in 2008, we began as a small group of volunteers with a big dream to address the needs of homeless animals in the North Dallas area. Since our inception, we have evolved to serve a broader community, saving over 12,500 animals by providing them with the medical attention and advocacy they deserve.
We operate primarily through a robust network of dedicated foster homes, which allows our animals to receive personalized care and affection while awaiting their forever families. In addition to our foster program, we manage the Rockwall Adoption Center, maintaining high standards of care and a 90% or better live-outcome rate. We are currently working on ambitious expansion plans for our property in Wylie to include dedicated kennels, a veterinary suite, and inviting play yards for our rescues.
Adoption is a meaningful lifelong commitment that brings joy and fulfillment to both the pet and the owner. Our team works hard to ensure that every placement is thoughtful and supported, focusing on finding the perfect match for your family and lifestyle. We provide comprehensive veterinary care, including vaccinations and spay/neuter services, to ensure our rescues are healthy and ready to join your household.
There are many ways to be a part of our life-saving work, from opening your heart as a foster parent to sponsoring a pet or making a donation. We invite you to browse our available animals, visit our website, or contact us today to see how you can make a difference.
