Story
Meet Tammy! This adorable little Shih Tzu is almost 6 years old and only weighs 10lbs, the perfect size for being cuddled up in your lap! Rescued from a puppy mill situation, Tammy is a little cautious around new things, but that doesn't stop her from wagging her tail happily and being brave enough to explore her environment. Tammy is quickly picking up on potty training, regularly going out in the yard. She also does well in her crate, sometimes choosing to nap in there throughout the day. Toys are all new to Tammy, but she is excited to learn more about them! She absolutely loves treats and will do a happy dance when she is excited. She loves other dogs and would probably be fine with cats too! She has never walked on a leash before, but her foster mom is confident that with a little time and patience she will pick up on it quickly. She is a little nervous about being picked up but enjoys being pet and is slowly learning what it is like to be loved! Despite her past, Tammy has a lot of pep in her step! This goofy girl sees a world full of promise in front of her. Could you be a part of her journey? Apply for Tammy today! Tammy is fostered in the Cincinnati area. Her 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
I'm a shi-chi, born on January 11, 2025. I'm a happy, friendly, bouncy little guy that dances around his food bowl when he eats. I get along well with other dogs and cats. Because I'm so little, big dogs scare me a little and sometimes play too rough. I am working on going potty outside and am very eager to please. I haven't made any messes in my crate! I love falling asleep on a warm lap. Bugsy's prior home was not able to care for him so I'm giving him a safe place to stay while searching for his forever home. He's been an absolute sweetheart, always wants to sleep on my lap. He's already learned that when I say Go Potty when we're outside that it means to squat and pee. Very smart little guy. He's had his first set of shots.

Story
Chewie(short for Chewbacca) is an approximately 3 year old Shih Tzu mix. He is up to date on shots and scheduled for his neuter and dental cleaning, which will be covered by the rescue at Auglaize Animal Hospital in Wapakoneta. He wants to be with his person all the time and is good with other dogs. He was a street dog in TX so we are still working on potty training but he is doing very well! He loves to go bye bye and does well on short trips in the car and walks great on a leash.
