She's a super sweet 12 lb dog looking for a forever home and family to adopt her and her brother. Like her brother Amos, she is a beautiful white Maltese/poodle mix and has a great temperament. She gets along with everyone and needs more experience with cats, but kids and other dogs are golden! Andi enjoys walks and does well on the leash and could keep your lap warm or help you walk out your frustrations and then cuddle with you to help you forget all your troubles!!

Story
Domino is currently the office dog. He is a tiny little dog with a big bad personality. He is opinionated and slow to warm up. He is also protective of his territory and can be reactive to other dogs. Proceed with caution, but once he loves you it doesn't take him long to wrap you around his teeny tiny paw. ##1942623##

Story
Meet Romy! Romy is a 4-year-old, 18-pound Bichon Frise. It's wonderful that Romy is getting a chance to learn how to be a dog after spending her early life in a puppy mill. To help her adjust, a quiet, low-key, and patient home is essential. Another dog's presence could be beneficial, but it's not necessary. Housebreaking and leash training will be part of her learning process. Patience and positive reinforcement training will be key to helping her become more comfortable around people and adapt to her new environment. Romy is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. Her adoption fee is $300. Romy is a Patron Pup. Patron Pups have higher adoption fees due to varying reasons and are adopted quickly, even with these higher adoption fees. They may be purebred, a highly desirable breed, small in size fully grown, etc. These fees allow them to act as patrons to other pets in our care who may not be as adoptable, or have ongoing costs for medical care, contributing to a longer time in rescue, and therefore a higher cost for us to care for them. Patron Pups allow us to continue rescuing these other animals and give them a better chance at finding their forever homes as well. 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.

Story
Meet Kieran! Kieran is a 4 year old, 22 pound Bichon Frise. Kieran is a rescue from a puppy mill, and as such, is fairly skittish around people. She is fostered with other dogs her size and does well with them! Kieran is still trying to figure out what a dog is supposed to do, as leash walking, treats, and playing are all new to her. She will need a calm, patient household to help her blossom. An adopter with another confident dog would be helpful but not necessary. Are you the white knight wanting to rescue this damsel in distress? Kieran is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. Her adoption fee is $300. Kieran is a Patron Pup. Patron Pups have higher adoption fees due to varying reasons and are adopted quickly, even with these higher adoption fees.

Story
Meet Ivy! Ivy is a remarkable 12 lb Bichon Frise with a heart of gold. At just 2 years old, Ivy's story is one of resilience and hope. She hails from a difficult past in a puppy mill, but Ivy is now in foster care, looking for a forever home where she can experience the love and care she truly deserves. Ivy's pure, snow-white coat ( which is starting to grow back ) and soulful eyes reflect her enduring spirit. She may have faced adversity, but her gentle nature remains intact. Ivy is a shy, yet incredibly sweet pup who is learning to trust people. Her foster family has provided her with a safe haven, and Ivy is slowly blossoming into the affectionate companion she was meant to be. In her foster home, Ivy is discovering the joys of a normal dog's life. Ivy's journey to healing is ongoing, and she's ready to take the next step with a family willing to offer her patience, understanding, and a lifetime of love. Ivy's past does not define her; it's her future filled with warmth and kindness that truly matters. If you have a compassionate heart and the willingness to help Ivy continue her journey to happiness, please consider making her a part of your family. Ivy is fostered in Cincinnati, Ohio and her adoption fee is $300.
