Essie's Story

Meet Essie <br/><br/>Sweet little Essie is an 11-year-old Havanese weighing about 12 pounds, and she is looking for a quiet place to call home for her golden years. <br/><br/>Essie found herself looking for a new home after her owner had to move into a nursing facility and was no longer able to care for her. We know a change like that can be confusing for a senior dog, so right now, Essie is looking for something simple: a quiet home, a predictable routine, and someone who will love her for the rest of her life.<br/><br/>Essie is a total couch potato. She is independent, quiet, potty trained, and very accustomed to having a routine. She knows sit and stay, walks nicely on a leash, and does best when life is calm and predictable.<br/><br/>When meeting new people, Essie can be a little timid at first, but she does okay once she gets comfortable. She would prefer a home without children—no children at all—and ideally with one or two adults. <br/><br/>Essie does require a fenced yard, and a standard 4-foot fence is perfectly fine.<br/><br/>She isn't looking for a busy household or lots of excitement. She is looking for someone who understands that an older dog may need a little time to settle in and who will appreciate the quiet companionship of a sweet senior girl. <br/><br/>If you're looking for a little Havanese shadow to share your couch, your routines, and your heart with, Essie might be your girl. <br/><br/>Essies ideal home:<br/> Quiet and calm<br/> Adults only<br/> Possibly one other dog<br/> Cats are okay<br/> No children<br/> Fenced yard required<br/> Loves being a couch potato<br/> Established routines are important<br/> Potty trained<br/> Leash trained<br/><br/>Essie deserves to spend her senior years feeling safe, loved, and cherished. Lets find this sweet girl the home she deserves. <br/><br/>She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations (thru October 2026). <br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $100.<br/><br/>Please follow the link below for the adoption application.

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy
Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
