Story
BONDED PAIR!!! These girls will need to find a forever home together. Hi there my name is Mary Kate, they say I'm 2-3 years old but I act very much as a puppy. I love kids, playing outside, packing my toys around, getting in the bath, dancing for treats and most of all lovings. I am a huge snuggle bug and just want a forever home for me and my sister, I am more withdrawn that my sister Ashley but that's because I learned at a younger age you can't always trust people. On the up side, I do pretty good on a leash, I am crate trained and puppy pad trained, I love also go outside to potty. If you can find it in your heart to welcome me and my sister in your home that would be amazing. Hello there, I'm Ashley ! I'm estimated to be 2-3 years old, crate trained, puppy pad trained and trained to go outside and potty as well. I dance for treats, toys, and even love getting snuggles! Kids seem to love me and my sister, and we love them as well! What more could you ask for? Im outgoing, bubbly, quiet, tend to my sister, and she tends to me..all we ask is to keep us together and love us forever. If you're interested in giving me and my sister Mary Kate forever homes then hit that application button, what are you waiting for?

Story
Snoopy is a 9.5-month-old, 13 lb black and white Shih Tzu mix with a gentle soul and a curious heart. He’s a shy boy who can be nervous around new people at first, but he has never shown aggression or defensiveness—he simply needs patience and kindness to feel safe. When Snoopy decides you’re someone he trusts, he truly enjoys quiet cuddles and being close. Snoopy loves going for walks on his leash and is learning more every day. He’s still working on his potty training, so he’ll do best with a family willing to continue guiding him with consistency and encouragement. Toys are a new experience for Snoopy! He approaches them with curiosity and caution, as he’s still figuring out what they’re all about—watching him explore is pretty adorable. In our home, Snoopy has proven to be wonderful with everyone: kids, adults, dogs, cats, and even fish (haha). He’s a peaceful presence who would thrive in a calm, patient home where he’s allowed to build confidence at his own pace. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle companion who just needs a little extra time to blossom, Snoopy may be the perfect match. Snoopy is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is $400.00. 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
Hi, I'm Barney! Ever wondered how a charming senior like me ended up in foster? Well, I once decided to follow my nose on an epic adventure. Turns out, I'm not as spry as I used to be, and I lost my way back! But here I am, heart murmur and all, still the king of cuddles and goofy grins. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my boundless love and maybe chase a squirrel or two (or just dream about it from a comfy couch). Adopt me for a lifetime of laughs and loyalty! Barney is a senior Shih Tzu. He is very sweet and potty trained and does great with dogs and cats and kids of all ages. This sweet boy is struggling with some skin issues that he came in with and was diagnosed with a grade 2 heart murmur when he was neutered on intake. If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting this baby, please fill out an application. They currently are fixed, up to date on shots, wormings, preventatives and are microchipped (with lifetime registration). Adoption fee is $215 with approved application, applications can be filled out at this link. https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/10167/generic . ##2620976##
