Introducing Dot! Dot is a 5 1/2-year-old, 8 lb Mini Poodle who survived life as a puppy mill mama and is now slowly learning how to trust the world around her. She loves to cuddle close and has the sweetest little heart. Time, patience, and gentle attention are exactly what Dot needs to continue building confidence and learning what it means to simply be a beloved dog. After six weeks in foster care, she is finally starting to show true happiness, and it has been incredibly rewarding to watch her blossom. Dot is currently about 80% potty trained. She goes outside to pee consistently when taken out 4-5 times a day, though she still occasionally has small accidents and has not yet learned to poop outside. Her foster walks outside with her during potty breaks, which helps her feel safe and comfortable. She does not show much interest in staying outside yet and can still be nervous about unfamiliar sounds and smells. Because Dot strongly dislikes leashes, she will require a securely fenced yard and will most likely never be a "go for walks" type of dog. Her ideal home would be a semi-quiet household with someone patient and understanding who can continue helping her feel safe during outdoor potty time. Dot loves scrambled eggs and chicken and is currently eating a mix of soft and hard dog food. She needs a home filled with kindness, comfort, and gentle encouragement to help her continue her journey toward becoming the cutest little addition to a lucky family. Dot is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH 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.
