Story
Ovie is living in a foster home near Ashippun, Wisconsin. Ovie is a very petite toy Chihuahua who has just arrived in his foster home after being locally surrendered for not getting along with the resident cats. This tiny guy is smart, and a cuddle lover who happily curls up in any warm, safe spot he can burrow into. He also has a playful side and enjoys a good game of fetch, along with soaking up the sun and sunbathing whenever the weather is warm. Due to his small size, he would prefer a home with children over the age of 12. Paddy's Paws is having Ovie head to the vet to confirm he is up-to-date on everything and he is healthy and ready for his forever home. Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Our rescue adopts to Wisconsin and Illinois. Our requirements for Illinois applications are: excellent vet history, no children under 7 in the home, and an owned home. Wisconsin does not have these requirements, though we will not consider applications where pets are missing core veterinary care. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.

Meet Hemingway Nickname: Hemmy Breed: Chihuahua Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior Weight: 8 lbs Fun fact: He likes to sit on your shoulder like a parrot. He’s looking to help you live out your pirate dreams, ahoy me matey! Foster home: Madison, WI Activity level: Moderate Friendly with: Dogs, preferably of similar size (not cat tested). Small children/fast movements scare him, so a home without children is best for Hemingway.

Meet Joseph! Nickname: The 11th Son (go brush up on your Broadway musicals if you don't know!) Breed: Chihuahua mix Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior Weight: 18 lbs Foster home: Stoughton, IL Activity level: Low Friendly with: Dogs, cats, and respectful children. Sleep style: Prefers larger dog beds, or a larger crate inside a dog bed Meals: 3 freeze dried small batch turkey patties morning and evening, plus a bedtime snack. Joseph LOVES snacks Bark-o-meter: 2/10 Shedding meter: 1/10 Best features: His singing voice. Just kidding, my expressive ears and my mighty tail waggle tie for first place! Favorite season: I do enjoy a leisurely early summer walk but am not a fan of pollen Signature color: Technicolor Fashion: Definitely a Dreamcoat. Or any hand woven, cozy clothes. Walk out song: Go, Go, Go Joseph (the chorus part) Fun fact: If Joseph had a job, he would be a dream interpreter. Or a food critic who would likely give everyone a five star review! Personality: playful, goofy, couch potato, sweet, shy, attention hog :) Neutered Microchipped Crate trained (large crates only please! Mostly housebroken, but will need a belly band when acclimating to a new house as he will mark for the first few days. Might not be a bad idea overnight also UTD on vaccinations UTD on preventatives Joseph is such a wonderful boy! He has had a rough go of things but is so resilient! He had a broken pelvis in April 2025 and a broken leg in August 2025, but has recovered and is doing so well. He does have some potential allergies that we are trying Benadryl to help with, and is cat friendly despite having a foster kitty sibling that likes to smack him around. He is a stage 2-3 clinger during his first few days of decompression in a new home then settles down. He is a happy boy who dances for his meals.
