My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Chili!

Chili is a 10-month-old, 15-lb, Dachshund Mix.

Chili lives in a foster home with other dogs and cats and so far, she likes every animal friend she meets! She was surrendered to a shelter with several other dogs and was very shut down and frightened there. A foster home was a much better place for this sweet girl to thrive. She is still gaining her confidence and trust in people, but she loves treats and enjoys resting near her foster mom. Chili is very shy but wants so badly to be loved and is trying so hard to come out of her shell! She also lives with her foster dad, brother and sister (older children). She lets her foster family pet her, but gets frightened and shrinks away at sudden movements, so home with no smaller children would be best for her. In terms of house training, Chili has been using her potty pads because she is still nervous walking on a leash. She is also working on crate training. She feels safe in her crate but will sometimes bark when she's alone. She has made HUGE strides in a very short time with her socialization by using positive reinforcement and rewards. We are working with her and very optimistic that with a little time, encouragement and patience, she will make an excellent pet!

Some of her favorite things are her chew toys, greenies and Kongs stuffed with cream cheese!

If you're looking for a sweet little flower that just needs some love and care to bloom, she might be your perfect match.

Chili is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. Her adoption fee is $300.00.

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.

More about this rescue

Louie’s Legacy Animal Rescue, Inc., non-profit and no kill, aims to alleviate the suffering of abandoned shelter animals by rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming them within our community.

We are proudly foster-based, meaning our animals live in homes, not shelters. This differentiates us and allows us to more thoroughly get to know our animals, ensuring they are matched with suitable, screened adoptive homes which meet our high standards.

As part of our commitment to the health and well-being of all of our animals and to reduce pet overpopulation in our community, every pet is spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

We are committed to ensuring the safety of our animals for their entire lifetimes so that they will never suffer abuse, neglect or abandonment again.
