Chihuahua and Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio

Meet Paisley!

Paisley is a 3-month-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix who weighs just 5.5 pounds-but don't let her tiny size fool you... this girl is full of personality and a little bit of spice !

Found as a stray at a rural shelter, Paisley hasn't let her past slow her down one bit. She is incredibly friendly, loves other dogs, and is always excited to meet new friends. She's wiggly, sweet, and bursting with puppy energy-basically everything you'd expect (and love!) in a young pup.

Paisley is still very much a baby, so she hasn't started potty or leash training yet. She is just beginning crate training and is doing pretty well, though she may let you know how she feels about it with a little vocal opinion here and there.

This spunky girl will thrive in a home ready for all the fun (and work!) that comes with raising a puppy-think playtime, training, and lots of love. In return, you'll get a loyal, entertaining little companion who will keep you smiling every day.

Paisley is fostered in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Her 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.
