Pookie's Story

Meet Pookie <br/><br/>Pookie is a 3-year-old, 9 lb Pomeranian with a beautiful red/chestnut/orange coat and a heart just as warm as her coloring. This little lady joined us on 1/16/26 after being found as a stray and taken to our local shelter, and she’s been melting hearts ever since.<br/><br/>Pookie may be small, but she has a big personality! She’s incredibly sweet, gentle, and affectionate, with a quiet, easygoing nature. While she can be a little shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly—especially if you come down to her level or offer a tasty treat. Once she trusts you, she’s all about cuddles, couch time, and being your little shadow.<br/><br/>She loves her routines—especially her morning treat after going potty—and enjoys lounging in the sun, playing with squeaky toys, and chasing her ball outside. Pookie is happiest when she’s relaxing beside you on the couch or snuggled up in bed.<br/><br/>Pookie does have some special medical needs. She has an inoperable deformity in one back leg and luxating patellas in the other, so she will need a home that can accommodate her mobility challenges. A home with minimal or no stairs and a secure fenced yard is ideal, as she enjoys exploring but needs supervision. She may require a wheelchair in the future, so her forever family should be prepared to support her as needed.<br/><br/>She gets along well with other small dogs, though her mobility can limit playtime. She doesn’t mind their presence but is just as happy soaking up all the attention herself! Pookie is crate trained and currently working on potty training—she’s doing well but may still have occasional accidents, especially on rugs, so puppy pads could be helpful. She’s not a fan of rain, harnesses, or being carried, and she’ll retreat to her crate if she’s feeling overwhelmed.<br/><br/>Pookie would do best in a calm home without young children, where she can feel safe, loved, and supported. She’s a special little girl looking for a special family who will cherish her for exactly who she is.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just wants love, treats, and a cozy place by your side—Pookie might be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Pookie is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $350.<br/><br/>Follow the link below for the adoption application. Note applicants must live within one hour of Toledo Ohio.<br/><br/>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).
