Story
Greetings. My name is Gidget. I am a Chihuahua who is thought to be 3 years old and was found as a stray. I LOVE attention. I am working on my house breaking. I am quiet in the crate and stay in it at night and as well as when my foster mom is at work. I have no interest in toys so far and am pretty vocal when I play with other dogs. I do have a bit of a jealousy problem with my foster brother and might do best as an only dog where I can get all the love. Did I mention I like attention?? I also enjoy being brushed or combed. Not sure how I feel about cats and kids might not be a good idea because I am pretty rambunctious and jump a lot. Gidget is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative and on heartworm prevention. If you are interested in adopting Gidget, 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.Thank you for considering adopting!https://www.pawsofadamscounty.com/adoption-foster-appFeel free to message us for more details!www.pawsofadamscounty.com

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
Weight: 8.2Lbs Meet Guiseppe — a 9-year-old Chihuahua mix who has officially entered his “I’m retired and I’ve earned this attitude” era. He is a classic senior Chihuahua: small, seasoned, and not interested in nonsense. Guiseppe has places to nap and opinions to uphold. Guiseppe enjoys a quiet lifestyle consisting of naps, snacks, and monitoring the room for suspicious activity (such as people moving too fast). He prefers things done his way, on his schedule, and ideally without being asked to do literally anything extra. Loud noises are offensive. Cold floors are unacceptable. Blankets are mandatory. Important Retirement Guidelines for Guiseppe: *Do not rush him. He will simply not participate. *Respect the side-eye. It is earned. *Laps are available by appointment only. *Snacks should be frequent and respectful. *If he growls a little, he’s just expressing himself. Despite his grumpy-grandpa energy, Guiseppe is charming, loyal, and secretly very sweet with those he trusts. He’s the kind of dog who will sit near you—not on you—and keep you company while silently judging the world together. In summary: Guiseppe is a tiny old man with a big personality, ready to settle into his golden years with comfort, routine, and minimal chaos. If you’re looking for a low-key companion who embodies “get off my lawn” in the cutest possible way, Guiseppe is ready to retire straight into your heart. Dogs: Must meet all pups in home! Cats: Unknown Kids: MUST MEET the whole family!

Story
Lucy came from a rescue when she was 12 weeks old. She is timid to new people but does warm up. She is puppy pad trained but will go outside also. She has bitten me when I startle her at night in bed. Usually when I move. She does not like her nails done so I do use a muzzle and a blanket or towel doing that. She is a loving lap dog that just needs the right person who will love her and treat her well for the rest of her days

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
