Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dezzy – Playful, Sweet & Ready to Blossom Dezzy is a handsome young boy with a loving heart, a playful personality, and so much potential just waiting to shine. Dezzy may take a moment to settle into new environments, but once he does, his loving, playful personality shines through beautifully. He has already made wonderful progress in rescue and continues to gain confidence every day. This sweet boy loves toys, belly rubs, snuggle time, and a good game of fetch. He enjoys being part of the family and thrives with encouragement, patience, and routine. Dezzy is fairly moderate in energy level, making him a wonderful mix of playful companion and cuddle buddy. Dezzy would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore, play, and continue building confidence. He also benefits greatly from having another friendly, confident dog of similar size and energy level in the home to help show him the ropes and provide companionship. He is currently playing well with the other dogs in his foster home and has settled in beautifully. He does well with children over the age of 8 and enjoys being around people once he feels secure. Dezzy is not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home will be important for him. Dezzy does well when kept on a schedule and will sometimes signal when he needs to go outside. As with any rescue dog transitioning into a new home, consistency and patience will help him continue to succeed. His ideal home will be loving, moderately active, and committed to continuing to help him build confidence and feel safe. In return, Dezzy will reward his family with loyalty, affection, playful antics, and plenty of snuggles. Dezzy’s adoption donation is $575. He is neutered, microchipped, current on rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella, and bivalent canine influenza vaccines, heartworm negative, and current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Dezzy is being fostered in Central Ohio.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. July 26, 2026, 12:06 pm
