Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Norman — a loyal sweetheart ready for his second chance Norman is a familiar and much-loved face here at Ohio Fuzzy Pawz. He was adopted several years ago and recently returned to our care due to circumstances completely outside of his control, when his adopter fell on hard times and could no longer afford to care for him. We were honored to welcome Norman back with open arms and ensure he continues to receive the love and stability he deserves. Norman originally came into rescue when his elderly owner could no longer care for him, and over time he has made wonderful progress. He’s a devoted little guy who forms strong bonds with his people and truly enjoys being part of a routine. He loves attention, companionship, and being included in daily life. Norman is currently thriving in his foster home with other dogs and does very well in group settings. He excels at doggy daycare, participates nicely in group play, and has shown that he enjoys the company of dogs of all sizes. He’s also living with cats and doesn’t seem particularly interested in them. Norman does well with his potty routine when kept on a consistent schedule, with the understanding that there may always be a transition period as he adjusts to a new home. He has been on a weight-loss journey and has made great progress, and with the addition of joint supplements to help manage some arthritis in his back, he’s feeling so good that his foster mom says he’s like a brand-new pup. Regular walks are something he truly enjoys and help keep him feeling his best. Norman is looking for a stable, loving home that will cherish him as the affectionate, adaptable companion he is. Whether as a solo pup or with other friendly dogs, Norman has shown he can thrive when given structure, consistency, and love. Norman’s adoption donation is $375, and he is being fostered in the Central Ohio area. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, DHLPP, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, and has also had a dental cleaning.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 3, 2026, 12:28 am
