Stevie is a 5 year old, 11.5 lb Mini Poodle and former puppy mill mom who is learning what life is like in a loving home. Originally a bit skittish and anxious, Stevie is a silly and sweet girl with a puppy-like energy (everyone she meets on walks confuses her for a puppy!). She loves snuggling up on the couch, soaking in the sun, and taking long walks. Stevie is a loyal dog who loves sitting nearby (and often *on*) her foster and following them around the house. She's a fast learner - she's quickly gotten used the outdoors and is starting to go potty on her walks, leading to less indoor potty accidents. Indoors, she's learned to use pee pads as well. She did not crate easily at first, but now has learned to enjoy her crate while I am away through crate training and positive associations (feeding in crate, treating in crate, etc.) She rarely whines or barks when I leave the home now and enjoys watching Bluey or listening to music while I'm away (she loves Fleetwood Mac & Kasey Musgraves!) Overnight, she sleeps in her dog bed in my bedroom as the crate was very scary at nighttime for her when she arrived, but I'm optimistic she will be ready for it soon if crating overnight is your wish! Stevie is missing several teeth so she prefers soft foods (mixing pate into her kibble) and treats (she prefers small pieces of string cheese to dog treats!). Stevie truly is a delight - she's tough and loving beyond her circumstances, gentle with others, curious to the world around her, and excited to join a caring family in her forever home! Stevie is currently being fostered in Cincinnati, OH. 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.
