Story
Meet woody!! He is a chihuahua. His est birth date is 6/26/2016. He weighs almost 13lbs. He is fixed and UTD on all shots and micro chipped. Woody was found wondering the streets of Columbus and was taken to the shelter there until he came to us.He is thriving in his foster home now. He is extremely loving, playful and well mannered little guy. He really enjoys being outside and does really well on a leash. But anything that goes over his head like a harness does make him nervous. So a vest type harness is best for him.Does well with kids 10 yrs and older. With Woody being a little on the older side. He does have some arthritis is his back legs. He is currently on inflammation meds for that. Woody is in a foster home that is located in Urbana Ohio. His adoption fee is $300.

While she can be a little shy when meeting new people, this pup blossoms once she knows she's safe and loved. ✅ Potty trained✅ Gets along well with other dogs✅ Learning simple commands Dolly's foster family says that once she's comfortable in her surroundings, she becomes your loyal companion, happily following you from room to room.  When it comes to treats, Dolly definitely has opinions. Meat-only treats, please! This little lady knows exactly what she likes. Dolly would thrive with a patient family willing to give her time to settle in and build confidence. In return, she'll reward you with devotion, companionship, and plenty of adorable shadow-like loyalty. 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.

Story
Sadie is a sweet dog. She loves to be held and snuggled. She can be stubborn at times but does respond to a person she likes and who treats her well. She was initially gotten from a rescue group when she was one year old. She likes to take walks and is leash trained. She tends to get fearful at times and does not like storms. We are currently going out of town a few days a week to babysit our grandkids and go and visit our other grown kids and are not home as much as she needs. She needs someone who will give her time and spoil her. She is 9 years old. She would love a quiet home with a person who would love a sweet companion.

Story
Octavia has a few thoughts. Hi. I'm Octavia. I'm 13 years old, slightly larger than a loaf of bread, and I've officially reached the age where I've earned the right to have opinions. Apparently...my opinions got me returned. My crimes? I object to nail trims. Passionately. If you've ever met a Chihuahua, you'll know this isn't exactly groundbreaking behavior. I also refused to potty on astroturf after my family moved. Listen, I spent 13 years learning that grass means bathroom. Fake grass? That's patio carpet. I'm not falling for that. So here I am, looking for a retirement home where someone appreciates a tiny old lady who knows exactly what she likes. Here's what you do get with me: A loyal little shadow Plenty of cuddles, once I decide you're worthy A lifetime of hilarious side-eye when the nail clippers come out. (do you expect anything less??) Enough sass to keep life interesting. I'm not asking for much. Just a soft bed, a human with a sense of humor, and preferably an actual patch of grass for my bathroom breaks. I'll even tolerate the occasional nail trim....eventually....after I've filed my formal complaint. At 13 years old, I deserve a family that understands that senior dogs come with a few quirks - and that those quirks are exactly what make us lovable. If you're looking for perfection, keep scrolling. If you're looking for a tiny queen with a big personality who just wants to spend her golden years loved, I'm waiting. Because after 13 years, being returned over something as simple as nails and grass is a pretty lousy ending.

Hello! This is Rallo. 🐾Rallo’s birthday is May 16, 2022, so she is 4 years old. She is an amazing, loving girl who loves to play, play with her toys, and cuddle.Rallo does very well and gets around just fine.Rallo can be a little spicy sometimes, lol. 😂 Since it’s mostly been me and her, she can get a little hyper when meeting new people or dogs, but she mostly just wants attention and interaction.I’m looking to rehome Rallo because my work schedule makes it difficult to give her the time and attention she deserves. My biggest priority is finding Rallo a home with someone who will care for her, get her the veterinary care she needs.Rehoming fee: $50 to ensure a loving home.
