Story
Meet Emerald — affectionately known as Emmy!
Emerald is an almost 2-year-old, 8 lb miniature poodle with the sweetest spirit. Rescued from a puppy mill, she’s leaving her past behind and blossoming beautifully in her foster home. Free from the noise and stress of mill life, Emerald is learning what it truly means to just be a dog—and she’s loving it.
This curious little girl is slowly blossoming, showing glimpses of a happy, gentle pup who’s eager to explore her world at her own pace. Emerald is still quite skittish and learning to adjust to the everyday noises and activity of life outside the puppy mill, but each day she grows a little braver. She’s just beginning to discover the comfort of human affection and truly shines with structure, consistency, and kind guidance. Emerald will thrive in a patient, loving home that’s ready to celebrate her small victories and help her continue building confidence.
Emerald will need a confident, friendly dog in her forever home to help show her the ropes and continue building her confidence. Having a steady canine companion gives her reassurance and helps her feel safe. She will also require a physically fenced yard, as she is still easily startled and not yet comfortable walking on a leash in unfamiliar environments. A secure yard will allow her the freedom to explore and play safely while she continues to grow more confident.
Emerald is comfortable around both men and women (she is slower to warm up to men). She hasn’t yet had the opportunity to interact with children or cats. Crate training and potty training are works in progress, but she is doing great.
Emerald is fostered in the Cincinnati area. Her adoption fee is $450.00
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
