Story
Meet Heather – the 10-pound lovebug in poodle form!
At 7 years old, Heather is a gentle, curious mini poodle with a heart full of love.
She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but her natural curiosity always shines through. Once she feels safe, Heather blossoms into a wiggly, affectionate companion, greeting you with tail wags, kisses, and her signature “rooooo, rooooo” – which earned her the nickname Renny Roo.
Heather is happiest when she’s close to her person. She adores being held, and will gladly curl up in your lap, by your side on the couch, or even on the floor—anywhere you are. She finds comfort in the gentle touch of a hand resting on her, a simple gesture that makes her feel safe and loved.
She’s still working on her potty training and making steady progress. With regular outdoor breaks, she’s learning the routine. Leashes aren’t her favorite, so for now, she prefers being carried outside—which is no trouble since she’s light as a feather.
Heather is still learning what toys are all about, but she recently discovered the joy of tossing around a sock and proudly parading it through the house. A soft, slinky plush toy might be right up her alley!
She thrives on affection and will do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Heather does experience some separation anxiety and can be quite vocal about her feelings, so apartment living may not be ideal. When alone, she settles well in a spacious crate with her bed, food, water, and room to stretch out.
Over time, we’ve come to learn that Heather would truly flourish in a home with another confident dog. A calm canine companion can help her feel more secure and encourage her playful, loving nature to shine even brighter.
Heather is fostered in the Cincinnati 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.
