Meet Topaz — a Little Gem Looking for Her Person
Topaz is every bit as precious as her name suggests. She’s a gentle, affectionate girl who thrives on companionship and loves being close to her person.
Topaz adores belly rubs, cuddles, and cozy naps. Soft toys are her favorite—especially crinkly ones—and she enjoys treats and toys she can easily carry around. When it comes to car rides, she’s a dream companion and often curls up and falls asleep in her car seat.
She can be a bit shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her friendly and loving personality really shines. Topaz does best in a calm, reassuring environment and bonds closely with her people.
Topaz enjoys running and playing, especially in a fenced yard, and also does well going for walks—she will happily potty while on leash. While no dog is ever guaranteed to be house trained, Topaz does very well when kept on a consistent schedule and understands how to alert when she needs to go out. As with any new home, a transition period should be expected.
She is wonderfully easygoing with others and tends to ignore most animals she encounters—including dogs, cats, and even more unusual critters! Because of this, a companion animal is not required for her happiness. She also does well with children.
Topaz at a glance:
Loves: Cuddles, belly rubs, naps, treats, soft/crinkly toys, being with her person
Car rides: Excellent—she relaxes and sleeps
Activity level: Moderate
ï¸ Eating schedule: Twice daily (morning and evening), wet/dry mix
Ideal home: Fenced yard preferred, calm environment, someone home much of the day
Topaz’s ideal home would be one where she can enjoy companionship, a predictable routine, and plenty of love. She’s a gentle soul who doesn’t ask for much—just a soft place to land and a person to call her own.
If you’re looking for a devoted little companion who will happily share your couch, your heart, and your quiet moments, Topaz may be the perfect match.
Topaz’s adoption donation is $500, and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She is fully vetted and ready for her forever home — she has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccines, including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. Topaz has tested negative for heartworm and has been started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and she has also had a dental cleaning.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are viewing this biography on a website other than the Ohio Fuzzy Pawz website like Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, or another search engine (the OFP website is www.ohiofuzzypawz.com), not all information transfers to partner websites in some instances. If you go to the individual webpage of our dogs , you will be able to get more information each dog.
Visual breed identification in dogs can be unreliable so, in many cases, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
The adoption process has several steps involved. Please review prior to submitting an application. Our adoption process is detailed here: http://www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/info/adoption
Our volunteers work very diligently to process each application and we try to ensure that we are making the best match possible for each dog. We do not schedule meetings with dogs until an application has been approved. It can take up to a few weeks to process an application or as little time as a few days, from the time you submit an application, please be prepared to adopt as we cannot hold dogs.
Some dogs may have special requirements (for example, medications, a fence) -- if you apply for a dog, please be sure to read over the biography completely to see if there are any special needs and if you're home would be suitable. If we indicate on the dog's biography that a fence is required, this means your home must have a physical fence. Other dogs may require a "strong vet reference" which indicates that we are looking for a home that has a documented history of veterinary care with previous pets.
The first step in our process is to submit an online adoption application at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/forms. The application MUST include the personal references and veterinary, grooming, and landlord references (if applicable) and their respective contact information. If you do not include the references and the contact information, your application will be delayed as it CANNOT be processed. Once the references have been successfully completed, a home visit is then scheduled when a rescue representative can meet all members of the family or residents of the home. No application is approved prior to the home visit being done. At that point, the Directors will discuss any and all applications on a foster dog and make a selection--in many cases, there are multiple applications for each dog, so please be understanding that our only priority is the successful placement of each of our foster dogs.
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, adopters should be prepared to pick up the dog in Central Ohio.
