Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Billie, the 16-pound marshmallow who recently pulled off the greatest prison break in San Antonio history. Born around January 2023, this white Maltipoo mix traded his "ruff" life at the pound for a life of luxury, and frankly, he’s not looking back. Billie’s current hobbies include being aggressively sweet, making friends with every dog he meets, and basking in the spotlight like the tiny celebrity he clearly is. He’s currently working on his PhD in "Going Potty Outside" and is showing some seriously promising progress. If you’re looking for a low-shedding sidekick who thinks he’s the main character of your life, Billie is your guy. You can submit your application to be his personal assistant (officially known as an "adopter") at  A Doggie 4 You . His adoption fee is $400—a small price to pay for a lifetime of fluff and unconditional love. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 16, 2026, 10:42 am

Story
Pinkey is an 8 years 2 month old Maltese mix weighing 18 pounds. She came to the shelter as a stray so her history is unknown. Pinkey was born to be pampered! This little lady prefers the finer things in life, like all the warm blankets to cuddle and burrow in! Pinkey likes everyone she meets and is affectionate. She does not show interest in toys here at the shelter. Is content to sit next to you or near by on her blankets. Needs work with housebreaking. Treat motivated-but on a weight loss journey. She does not like the cold! Tolerates baths-does not like her face messed and was sassy & mouthy with groomer. She's been to the veterinarian while in our care for her spay, dental (removing 3 teeth) and the removal of 4 cysts. Mild cataracts in both eyes. Shows interest in cats, wants to play with them, no prey drive. Separation anxiety-does not like to be alone. Has puppy energy. Good guard dog-alert to people and sounds-will bark. Good with other dogs but wants to hump them (no matter their size). Has resource guarding with food and treats.Her adoption fee is $150, this includes her spay, heartworm test, vaccines current, deworming, heartworm/flea prevention and micro chipped. Her dog license is also required to be purchased for Sandusky County residents at time of adoption, which is an additional $21.00.

Once you have visited the shelter, you are then eligible to submit an adoption application for review.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Description:  Meet Ivy, the little pipsqueak! This spunky and loving girly will steal your heart from the very start. She is a rescued mill mama with a loving and nurturing side that acclimated well in her foster home. She enjoyed the companionship of her two dog brothers and cat sister. She will need a home with a companion dog of similar age, size, and energy. Super Stats: Healthy eater. Sleeps through the night. Does well on potty training when kept on a schedule.. Smart and a quick learner, especially when rewarded with treats. Will snuggle with you all day, in bed or on the couch. Loves to be carried. Loves treats. Spunky and sassy. &#226&#128&#139Personality and Quirks: Very inquisitive. Likes being the caboose (behind everyone) on walks. Fun and spunky. Very gentile. Doesn't bark much. Needs a companion dog of similar age. All Set for Her New Furever Home: Ivy  has been completely prepared for her new life—she's been spayed, microchipped, and is current on all vaccinations (rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella). Her heartworm and flea/tick prevention are also up to date, so you can focus on what matters most: bonding with your new cuddle partner! 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.  February 9, 2026, 5:52 pm

Story
Meet Mia! This almost 8-month-old Maltese mix is a soft-hearted sweetheart with a playful spirit and a whole lot of potential. Mia’s still learning the ropes—she’s curious, gentle, and eager to grow into her best self with a little guidance and a lot of love. She thrives in a calm, consistent environment and would do best with a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore and stretch her legs. Because she’s still building confidence, Mia is seeking a home without small children—she’ll blossom with patient adults or older kids who understand her. If you’re ready to help a sweet soul grow into her sparkle, Mia might just be your match. Adoption fee: $350 ------------------------------------------------- We ask that you fill out our adoption application to start. We ask people to be approved for adoption before meeting our animals one-on-one because we would hate for someone to fall in love and things not work out. www.furangelsrs.com/ Our adoption requirements are under 'ready-to-adopt,' and the dog application is under the 'dog' section. To see the adoption fee, please click on the animal picture you’re interested in on our website.
