Meet Ariel! Mama Ariel is a tiny toy Shih Tzu, at 6lbs and only 1 year old, she has a heart just as big as her story. She was found discarded and ready to give birth, but despite everything she's been through, she hasn't stopped wagging her tail since the moment she was rescued. Ariel is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate. She loves a good game of fetch, greets her humans with the sweetest little dance, and could happily spend time people-watching from the window. When it's time to wind down, she's more than content to snuggle up on the couch and enjoy some quiet companionship. She is housebroken and does well with dogs of all ages and sizes, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-dog home. While she's friendly and social, she would prefer a home without cats. After raising her puppies, Ariel is ready for a forever home where she can finally be the one receiving all the love and attention she deserves. She has so much joy to give and will make an incredibly loving companion. Ariel is currently being fostered in Middletown, NJ and her adoption fee is $600. 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.
