Story
🎀Meet Gigi 🎀💎Gigi is a 2 year old, 15 pound, chihuahua/cattle dog mix. This poor girl was a hot mess with a severe bacterial skin infection when she came in. The infection is gone and her skin is healed but she will need to stay on flea and tick prevention, avoid foods with beef or chicken and may even need to take Benadryl or an allergy medication regularly to prevent her from ever having to look and feel the way she did at intake ever again. We have a special shampoo we will be happy to send with her as well. 💎Gigi's not just sensitive of skin, she's also sensitive of soul. We do not know exactly what she's been through before coming into rescue and can be a bit untrusting of the world at times. She loves being rubbed and closes her eyes with pleasure. Gigi demands attention from her person and will stare deep into your eyes and try to steal a kiss. She's very expressive; she grunts like a pig, chirps like a squirrel, and will protect the territory with strong barks. A firm, loudish "no!" is sometimes required to get her to stop and settle. 💎Gigi seems to know "sit" and we've worked on "touch” which is her command to return to her human. She could use more training and practice heeling/not pulling while taking walks. She gets very nervous/anxious and vocal at night in her crate but he's perfectly housebroken and hasn't had a single accident so a crate at night time in her forever home may not be needed. She is a cuddle bug and would much rather share your bed with you at night anyways! 💎Gigi is not outdoorsy in that she does her business and comes right back inside but she does love her walks. She is very food motivated and is protective of her food so she prefers to eat in her own space away from other animals. She is good with other dogs after a proper introduction and short adjustment period. Gigi is great with kids and fine with cats as long as she cannot get to their food or litter box. She likes hard chew toys and plush squeaky toys, but tears the latter up quickly. 💎Gigi is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested negative and on both heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention. If you are interested in adopting Gigi please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.

Story
Salutations! I'm Snowball. I am a Chihuahua who is thought to be 2 years old and was found as a stray. These are a few of my favorite things: playing with other dogs, attention from people, and running in the yard. I am working on my house breaking and am doing pretty well with it. I am really good in the crate and go right in on my own when asked. I am quiet in the crate and stay in it at night as well as when my foster mom is at work. I have shown little interest in toys so far. I'm not sure how I feel about cats, and I am not a fan of kids, so I need an adult only home, please. Snowball is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and on heartworm prevention. If you are interested in adopting Snowball, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly.

Story
Chase is truly one of a kind—in looks, personality, and heart. He is also deaf - but he doesn't let that slow him down one bit! This small-to-medium sized mixed breed is a little bit of everything (Chihuahua, French Bulldog, Maltese, Shiba Inu, Pekingese, Husky… yes, really!) and the result is 100% adorable. With his unique appearance and expressive face, Chase turns heads everywhere he goes—but it’s his sweet nature that really makes him special. Chase is a happy, loving boy who has so much to give to his future furever family. He thrives on connection, affection, and being part of a family. Because he can’t hear, he’ll do best with a home committed to helping him continue learning through visual cues and positive reinforcement—but the good news is, he comes with three training sessions to help set everyone up for success. He would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can soak up all the love and attention for himself. In return, he promises to be your most devoted companion. Chase is looking for a family that sees his differences not as challenges, but as part of what makes him so special. With a little patience, guidance, and a lot of love, he will reward you with unwavering loyalty and a bond that goes beyond words. If you’re ready to open your heart to a truly unique and loving dog, Chase is ready to meet you. He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on flea/tick/heartworm preventative and vaccines.

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
