Peggy's Story

Meet Peggy Peggy is a 3-year-old, 45-pound terrier/small hound mix with a beautiful tricolor coat and a personality that’s just waiting to shine in the right home. This smart, athletic girl is the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy companionship—she’s just looking for someone to help her feel safe again. Peggy came to Dogworks after her previous owners, who loved her dearly, were no longer able to give her the exercise and stimulation she needs. The recent changes have left her feeling a bit unsure, but with patience, love, and consistency, Peggy will absolutely blossom into the loyal best friend she’s meant to be. She’s happiest when she has an outlet for her energy—whether that’s going for walks, playing with her toys, or watching the world go by from her favorite window. And when the fun is done? Peggy is more than happy to curl up in her bed… or even better, right in your lap Peggy can be a little skittish when meeting new people and may need time to warm up. She tends to do best with calm, patient individuals and seems to have a soft spot for women or gentle personalities. Because of this, she would thrive in a quieter home without small children. Peggy’s perfect match: ** A home with a fenced yard to safely burn off energy **Possibly one other calm, medium-sized dog (she loves the neighbor dog!) ** No young children ** A patient, understanding adopter who will give her time to build trust Peggy is potty trained, walks well on a leash, and already knows some commands like down, come, and leave it. She does well at the groomer and boarding, and she LOVES car rides—your future road trip buddy is ready! Like many sensitive souls, Peggy can get nervous and may bark or retreat when she’s unsure, but once she knows you, her affectionate, loyal, and even silly side really shines through. She just needs someone willing to see past her initial nerves and give her the stability she’s been missing. She is spayed and is up-to-date on vaccinations. Please follow the link below for her adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio. http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

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).
