Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.adoption fee $300 Meet Peanut! This adorable 1-year-old Chihuahua is full of curiosity and love! Peanut is a snuggle bug who adores burrowing under the covers and being close to her people. She’s happiest when she’s near you and would thrive with a friendly pup companion in the home. Her potty manners are still a work in progress, but she’s a quick learner who wants to please. Special Note: Peanut had some malnutrition early in life, which led to a medical condition. After careful vet care, it’s been determined she will need daily seizure medication—likely for life. This sweet girl just needs someone willing to accommodate her medical needs. Peanut will reward the right person with endless loyalty and love. If you have questions when you meet her, we’re happy to share everything we know! New foster dogs need time to feel safe. They may be skittish or fearful, so always stay with them outside—even in fenced yards. Ensure collars and leashes fit securely to prevent escapes. Your gentle presence and protection help them feel loved and secure.The adoption fee helps allow Perfect Paws to provide all animals with current, age appropriate vaccinations which include, DHLPP, Kennel Cough and Rabies (if the pet is at least 13 weeks old), and spay/neuter when necessary.  The fee also helps with the cost of deworming; heartworm testing (if the pet is at least 1 year old), heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick prevention for animals cared for through the rescue. He will go home with a collar, leash, and vaccination record. If you would like to adopt this very special K-9 kid, please go DIRECTLY to our website to complete our convenient Online Adoption Form.  Our website is www.perfectpawspetrescue.org cut and paste our web address into your browser to get to our site.  Email any questions to perfectpawsrescueinc@gmail.com NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE.  Fort Wayne Indiana vicinity.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 26, 2025, 1:39 pm

Story
Meet Cleo! Cleo is a 10-year-old Chihuahua–Miniature Pinscher mix weighing about 12 pounds — the perfect little companion for your lap and your heart. This sweet girl was surrendered to our local shelter and is now safe in foster care, waiting patiently for her forever home. Cleo is a total lovebug who just wants to be cuddled and adored. She listens well, loves to snuggle in your lap, and has a calm, gentle nature that makes her a joy to have around. She currently lives with other dogs and does very well with them. She hasn’t lived with cats or children, so we’re not sure how she would do, but her sweet temperament suggests she might adjust well with proper introductions. Cleo is a smart little lady who already knows a few commands such as “come,” “no,” and “leave it.” She hasn’t used a crate in her foster home and has had very few potty accidents — she’s doing great with her house manners! Cleo would fit beautifully in almost any home — whether you’re a single person looking for a loyal companion or a family wanting a gentle, affectionate addition. She can be a little vocal when meeting new people (she likes to say hello in her own way!) but quickly warms up once she knows she’s among friends. Although a fenced yard is preferred, it’s not a dealbreaker for this little lady — what she really needs is someone who will love her, keep her safe, and make her feel like part of the family. If you’re looking for a loyal little sweetheart to share your days and your couch with, Cleo is ready to steal your heart and snuggle right into your life. ?? She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations microchipped and is a up-to-date on monthly flea/ tick and heartworm prevention. Her fee is $150 Follow the link below for the adoption application. Please note: all applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio. http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html
