Meet Esme – a sweet puppy mill momma discovering the joy of being cherished. After a past that didn’t always put her needs first, she’s now learning how wonderful warm blankets, gentle voices, and full tummies can be, and she’s doing a great job! This calm little lady has perfected the art of cozy naps and can usually be found snoozing in the warmest spot she can find. Esme loves treats, which are her love language, and has discovered that they pair quite nicely with gentle belly rubs. She does well settling into a crate, rides nicely in the car, and is slowly warming up to spending time outside, even joining the other dogs for short adventures and the occasional happy dash. Esme has a low energy level and enjoys a peaceful, low-key lifestyle. She gets along well with other dogs and would benefit from a calm canine companion to help guide her.
Ideal Home
A quieter home with a patient, mill-dog-experienced adopter would be ideal. Esme would thrive with a calm canine companion to help guide her.
Ongoing Health
Esme is fully vetted and has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccines, including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. She has tested negative for heartworm and has been started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. She has also had a dental cleaning.
Training & Support
Esme is still learning that human touch is kind and safe. Loud noises can startle her. She is comfortable being alone for short periods, making her a good match for someone with a relaxed or part-time schedule. She does best when kept on a consistent routine, with the understanding that there will always be a transition period as she adjusts to a new home.
Application Details:

Transporation
Esme is being fostered in the Cleveland area. Adopters should be prepared to pick up the dog in Central Ohio. We do adopt out of state to outstanding applicants, however, our process requires a home visit, so out-of-state adoptions can take longer. We do not ship our dogs.
