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
Meet Poppy Poppy is a darling brown Chihuahua mix with soft, soulful eyes and a heart that’s ready to bloom in a loving home. This sweet little girl just recently arrived at our rescue, and is adjusting to all the changes in her world with quiet bravery. Poppy is gentle, affectionate, and happiest when she’s close to her people. She has a tender nature and bonds deeply once she feels safe. While she may be a little uncertain at first, a calm voice and patient reassurance quickly win her trust. With a little time and consistency, you’ll see her confidence grow and her loving personality truly shine. Because of her sensitive spirit, Poppy would do best in a home with respectful, understanding children who know how to be calm and kind with a small dog. She thrives in a peaceful environment where she can relax, feel secure, and build trust at her own pace. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will reward your patience with endless devotion, Poppy may be your perfect match. She’s ready to start her next chapter — could it be with you? Poppy is current on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm, working on potty training (she's a smart girl!) and will be spayed prior to adoption.

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
