My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Maeve

Professional Snuggler Seeking Forever Human

Maeve is a stunning 3-year-old ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with soulful eyes and a heart full of love. As a former puppy mill momma, she is just beginning to discover what it truly means to be a dog — and watching her blossom is something special.

This gentle, affectionate girl lives for lap snuggles, cozy pillow naps, and being close to her people. Maeve is very much a “why wouldn’t I be on your lap?” kind of sweetheart. She finds comfort in companionship and will happily follow you from room to room, soaking up the simple joys of a safe and loving home.

Maeve has a moderate activity level and enjoys short walks. She is learning leash skills and house-training basics and approaches both with a quiet eagerness to please. Each day she grows a little more confident as she realizes the world isn’t such a scary place after all.

She gets along beautifully with other dogs and would likely benefit from a confident canine companion to help continue building her confidence. Outdoors, she’s polite and easygoing, calmly ignoring other dogs and even squirrels, making a fenced yard optional.

Maeve has no known medical issues and simply requires the routine grooming typical of her breed. What she truly needs is a patient, loving home where she can continue her journey — one filled with gentle reassurance, soft beds, and plenty of affection.

Maeve missed out on the carefree puppy years most dogs get. Now it’s her turn. She’s ready to trade her past for a future full of love, security, and someone to call her very own.

Maeve's adoption donation is $525, 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. Maeve 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.

Our Adoption Process

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.

Special Requirements

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.

Out of State Adoptions

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.

Additional adoption info

The first step in our process is to submit an online application at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/forms to get the process started. We do NOT schedule meet and greets prior to an application being approved.

Please read the dog's complete bio on our website at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/animals/list and read over our adoption guidelines as most of your questions can be answered there.

Adoption fees are based on the age of the dog and not the vet fees incurred to be fair to older dogs and give them a better chance at adoption. All dogs are spayed and neutered prior to adoption and receive at least their first round of vaccines, including rabies, distemper/parvo and bordetella. We also microchip all of our dogs. They are also heartworm tested and on prevention. We do not adopt on a first-come, first served basis but do attempt to match the dog to the family that best suits the dog. We require personal references, landlord (if applicable), and vet reference.
