Story
I have had Apollo since he was an 8 week old puppy (3 years old) He is super sweet and loves attention. He is 100% house trained. I also have a female bull dog. I am hoping to keep them together. She is 6, he is 3. They have had one liter together over a year ago and she is now she is fixed. I am a single mom with a career, and I just don't have enough time to give them the attention they deserve. I am looking for a family with a big back yard and time and love to give to these dogs. They love exercise and playing fetch, neither of them chew but they do loves bones and toys. They do get on the couch and are very hyper at initial greet when anyone comes to visit. Apollo is a silly sweet lazy lover boy and Chloe the female is smarter and more athletic

Story
It breaks my heart to rehome Carmen she recently just turned a year old she is a beautiful smart loveable girl. Another dog in the home recently had a puppy and the mother dog of the puppy started attacking Carmen iv tried keeping them separated and it's not working out their has been a few really bad dog fights. The mother dog put a hole clear through my bedroom door just to attack Carmen so I have to do what's best for my baby girl an that's finding her a safe loving home. Carmen still gets along with our male dog just fine and our neighbors dogs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Robin’s adoption donation is $425 and she is being fostered in the Central, Ohio area.  She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella, tested negative for heartworm and started on prevention as well as flea prevention. Robin has also had a dental cleaning with some extractions. Robin does require a home with a companion dog of similar size and energy and a secure, physically fenced yard. Robin is a pretty grayish & white 5 year old Shih tzu who was a mill mama.  She has progressed nicely and is really starting to come out of her shell in just a few short weeks.  Robin is discovering toys; crinkle toys are her favorite. When she isn’t playing with toys, you can find her lounging on the sofa or basking in the sun – next to her foster sisters of course!  Robin is still learning how to be a “normal” dog so another playful dog is a must!  It may take her a while to acclimate into your family but once she does, she will love you SO MUCH.  A quieter home is preferred to help continue her progress so no children under the age of 12.  Robin is very playful and loves affection and snuggle time.  She does well on the leash and walks pretty well in a quieter area with another dog.  Robin is doing well with her potty skills if kept on a schedule. Robin will make you and your family a wonderful companion with all her love and playfulness.  She is such a goofy dog who is always wagging her tail. I love fostering her, but she is ready to find her furever home where she will be spoiled rotten!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.  May 31, 2023, 1:25 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rico's adoption donation is $450 and he is being fostered in the Central Ohio vicinity.  He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, dhlpp, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention. Rico came into rescue when his owner could no  longer give him the attention he needed, due to health issues in the family.  He has made a lot of progress in rescue and loves going for a walk and exploring and is leash trained.  Rico does well on housetraining if kept on a schedule.  He loves being the center of his person's attention, but he likes other dogs too.  He would do best in a home with a yard, or one that has time to walk him every day.   He is a fairly active cheerful little dog and does well with humans in general.  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.
