Story
Welcome Layla!     Sweet girl was given a much needed makeover before arriving. Who doesn’t love a spa day?!        6 years old / 7 lbs.               Maltese mix -Coexists well with dogs.  - Unknown on cats, but I bet most are bigger than her! -It’s only Day 1, but is appearing to be potty trained. (Pads & outside).  - Due to her size, she’ll be placed in a home minus small children.  - As you can see from her “before” pics, she will require regular grooming to prevent matting to reoccur.   **Layla arrived in full blown heat. This will delay her spay a couple of weeks. Although she isn’t available right away, I’d advise you to get your application in and approved **  Apply at adoptastray.com #lovinglaylaApril 25, 2026, 1:37 pm

Story
Meet Toeby—a teeny, adorable 8.5-month-old Maltipoo weighing just 5.5 lbs! Rescued from an Amish puppy mill, this little guy has already proven how resilient he is. Toeby is missing a couple of toes on one back foot, but don’t worry—it doesn’t slow him down at all. Because he’s also missing the pads on those toes, he can be a bit sensitive to the cold and may occasionally hop along on three legs if that foot gets uncomfortable. A typical energetic puppy, Toeby will do best with an adopter who can keep him active and engaged. He enjoys playing in the yard and having fun with stuffed toys. He is also a gentle, affectionate boy who loves cuddling up with his foster mom. Toeby is very vocal, especially when someone walks by his yard, so he may do best in a home that can help him manage his alert barking with consistent training. His hair is very fine and gets matted quickly, so his adopter will need to be committed to daily brushing and regular scheduled grooming to keep him comfortable and looking his best. Toeby will truly thrive in a home that offers structure, consistency, and lots of love. Crate training and potty training are still works in progress, though he’s already improving—especially now that the weather has warmed up. With patience, a routine, and a canine friend by his side, Toeby will be an immensely happy boy. Toeby is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is $450.00. 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.

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 usually $160. However, to celebrate Paw Patrol Dayton's 14th Anniversary... his adoption fee is half off during the month of April! This includes his microchipped, heartworm test, up to date on vaccinations, and neuter.. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.
