Story
Meet Snowflke! Snowflake is a 5-year-old, 10 pound Maltese who is ready to find her forever home and fill it with endless love, fluff, and charm! This little snow-white sweetheart is as precious as her name suggests, and she is looking for a family who will adore her just as much as she will adore them. Snowflake is crate trained for sleeping, making bedtime routines smooth and stress-free, and she is 95% potty trained — meaning she is practically already home-ready! She loves to stretch her legs outdoors and looks forward to her daily walks, taking in every sight, smell, and moment the outside world has to offer. Snowflake has happily lived and played alongside cats and two dogs, proving she is a natural fit for a multi-pet household. She is gentle, fun, and knows how to share the love! And if you really want to win her heart, just offer her a treat — her excitement will instantly brighten your day. When she is not out on a walk or playing with her furry friends, you can find Snowflake doing what she does best — relaxing, chilling, and soaking up all the good vibes life has to offer. Her favorite things include taking leisurely walks, snacking on treats, and cuddling up with the ones she loves most. Snowflake is the whole package — sweet, social, low-maintenance, and full of love. She deserves a forever home where she can continue living her best life by your side. Could that home be yours? Snowflake currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area, and her adoption fee is $450. Snowflake 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 Sammy Jo! He hasn’t had the easiest path in life, but you’d never know it by the gentle way he’s beginning to trust again. This sweet boy is slowly stepping out of his shell and showing us the loving heart that’s been there all along. He is a white 10 year old Maltese who is incredibly sweet and enjoys being petted and loved on by his people. He’s starting to show his playful side by recently wagging his tail and initiating play with one of the smaller dogs in his foster home. He is fully potty trained and has never had an accident in the house or his crate. His crate is his safe haven, a place he willingly goes to relax and feel secure. He also does well with children and enjoys calm, gentle interaction. Sammy Jo does have food aggression and will need structured feeding with clear, consistent boundaries. He must be fed separately, and his space around food needs to be respected. With routine and predictability, he does well. He also has a collapsing trachea and requires medication twice daily. His future family will need to stay committed to keeping him on his medication schedule to ensure he stays comfortable and healthy. Sammy Jo values his personal space, especially around other dogs. If dogs are constantly in his face or if food is involved, he can become overwhelmed. However, he is making steady progress and is slowly building tolerance with proper introductions. Sammy Jo will thrive in a home that believes in structure, patience, and consistency. He needs a family who understands that trust takes time and that giving him appropriate space is a form of love. In return, you’ll get a loyal companion who is learning every day that the world can be safe again. The quiet cuddles, the tail wags, the small victories. They mean everything with a dog like Sammy Jo. If you would like to give Sammy Jo the love he has always deserved, please apply at pawpatroldayton.com. Adoption fee is $160 which includes microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and neutered. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Hattie! This little lady is looking for her special someone and a lap to curl up on.  Hattie is a maltese/poodle/chichuachua mix, approximately 10 yrs. old, and almost a whole 5lbs!  She was born with congenital small eye in her right eye and has a cataract in her left eye but seems to have most of her vision and gets around great.  Hattie does have a small heart murmur and is scheduled for a dental but otherwise in great health.  She is up to date on shots and Heartworm/flea medications.   Hattie needs a calm and quiet home with a mostly stay at home person who wants lots of snuggles.  She will gets along with other dogs (and her foster's cat) as long as they give her space and not bother her.   Hattie is potty trained but does like to explore so a fenced in yard or someone who is willing to go outdoors with her is required.  She is either following her foster parents around or snuggled next to them.  She sleeps well in a kennel and will tolerate being in one but she will let you know she isn't happy about it for a few minutes before settling down.  Hattie is the sweetest little snuggle bug who just wants someone to cuddle with and give lots of love to.  Does Miss Hattie sound like the perfect best friend for you?  If so, please feel out an application and make arrangements to meet Hatttie in person.Adoption fee to help defray vet costs:  $100. Note:Hattie is eligible for our Senior to Senior program Pairing older adults with older dogs.  The rescue covers Hattie's vet expenses (if you use our vet) and the owner provides the Love, care and food.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 5, 2026, 9:44 am
