About Me
Hi there! My name is Paco, and I am a sweet senior gentleman looking for my ultimate cuddle partner. At 16 pounds, I am the perfect, compact size to fit right into your lap—and your heart! I am a true "Velcro dog," which means my favorite place in the whole wide world is wherever you are. If you need a little shadow to follow you around, keep your feet warm, and shower you with affection, I’m your guy.
My Ideal Day
My perfect morning starts with a quick potty break, followed immediately by finding a cozy sunbeam to snooze in. I am a typical low-maintenance dachshund who values a good nap above all else. If you need to run errands or go for a stroll, you can pop me right into a chest sling!
My Manners & Quirks
I am a social, easygoing old man who gets along beautifully with everyone. I do great with other dogs and I am wonderful with kids, too! I haven't met any cats yet, so my friends at the rescue aren't sure how I'd do with them. I seem to be potty trained, but like most dachshunds, require routine to avoid presents. I am, however, excellently crate trained. I am missing most of my teeth, which just gives me a cute, sideways smile—though it does mean I prefer a soft food diet to keep my belly happy!
If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate, and portable best friend to spend your days with, apply to adopt me today!
Paco is fostered in the Cincinnati area. HIs adoption fee is $175.00.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
