Story
We took him in about 4 years ago from a friend that had a litter. At the time we lived in the country. Unfortunately some stuff came up and we had to move to town. Now I've got no where to keep him. He is super sweet, and he has always been a good boy. We are sad to have to do this. But we have to let him go.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. The Perfect Paw-tner for Walks and Cuddles! Looking for a seasoned adventurer with a heart of gold? Meet Minnie! This charming girl who came from a home who could no longer take care of her is ready to explore the world by your side. Minnie's favorite things include invigorating walks, exciting car rides, and playful romps in a fenced yard with her canine companions. She's a social butterfly who adores being around people and other dogs. While she loves to run and play, she also knows how to relax and cuddle up on the couch for some quality time. Minnie does very well on housetraining and knows exactly what "let's go outside" means! She's looking for an active home with another playful dog to keep her company. She would blossom in a home that can provide her with at least two daily walks and lots of love. Minnie is a truly special dog, ready to bring endless joy to her forever family. She might be a good fit for kids over 10. Minnie's adoption donation is $400, and she is being fostered in the Cleveland, Ohio area. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.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.  October 30, 2025, 4:47 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ricky’s adoption donation is $425, and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, and is fully vaccinated—including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. He has tested negative for heartworms and is on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Ricky has also had a dental cleaning to ensure his smile is as healthy as his spirit. Ricky's journey has been one of incredible resilience. He came into rescue from a local shelter, where he had arrived as a severely matted stray. He was in so much discomfort that he couldn’t be touched and had to be shaved under sedation to relieve his pain. Since then, Ricky has made a truly amazing transformation—not just in appearance, but in trust, confidence, and joy. Today, Ricky is a happy and playful little guy who’s discovering just how good life can be. Ricky really loves his human, whatever you are doing he wants to join, he's a very curious little guy. Ricky would do best with an experienced dog owner as he can be a little spicy at times. He would do best as an only dog or with a very laid back dog as Ricky thinks he deserves all the attention! Spoiled guy! Ricky is so full off personality; he lives to please his human. His favorite things are zoomies, walks, going on adventures and chillin on the couch with his human. Ricky is ready to find his forever home with a family who will appreciate his sweet nature, playful energy, and the incredible progress he’s made. He’s not just looking for a home—he’s looking for a family.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.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.
