Story
Scroll back to Oct 3, 2024 on our FaceBook page and see when we took in this little guy we call Zen. Zen made his to a property off Needles Rd in Johnstown were he was most likely dumped. Zen was severely underweight at 8 pounds. The vet said his healthy weight should be 15 pounds. Zen is 3-4 years old and mostly blind. The vet believes he can see shadows. Zen is now looking for his forever home. He is very sweet and great with other dogs. He loves to cuddle in blankets and has started playing with toys. He gets around quite well and loves being near you and can get under your feet if youre not careful. Zen loves kids and has not been exposed to cats. You can apply to meet Zen at ricopetrecovery.org

Story
ABOUT ME... Hi! My name is Rubie Grace! I came from an awful place called a puppy mill. :( Now I'm at a place called a foster home!! It's sooo nice here!! I have lots of dog and cat siblings here. They even have a parrot!! I'm learning how to be a dog here. I love my cozy bed!! (I even share it!) There's lots of toys too, that I'm learning to play with! My foster family gives me something called treats!!! They are so yummy! I'll "sit pretty for them!! I'm very food motivated. Dad makes something special called spaghetti, just for us fur kids, it gives me the zoomies because it's so tasty!!! I AM GREAT WITH... I'm great with all of my fur siblings, but the kittys smell funny!! Still not sure what to think about the bird! I love the kids too! They're teaching me to go outside with everyone to potty. I really like that! They give me treats, cuddles, and lots of love! I know my name now, so I run to them when they hollar for Rubie!!!! I AM STILL WORKING ON... I'm still working on going potty outside, but if I can't make it, Mom and Dad have potty pads for me to use!! We've been working on using the leash also, but it scares me. I don't really like it when my crate is closed, but I do settle down. Mom says I'm doing great at "learning to be a dog I'm still skittish about things around the house, so please be patient with me!!! I AM NOT GOOD WITH... I'm still getting used to loud noises, and sudden movements. It's kinda scary, but everyone tries to make me feel better!! I REQUIRE... My family says I must have a fenced in yard. I think that's a good thing, cause I'm still scared of some stuff. I really like exploring our backyard yard, and my mom and dad don't worry as much because I can't leave our yard! Mom says until I get used to the leash, (we've been working with it in the backyard!) a harness would be best for me!! It scares me a little when we put it on, but I'm ok with it!!! *** SIDE NOTE FROM MY FAMILY Rubie Grace is an amazing lil lady. She has come so far, in the short time we've had her!! She has a wonderful personality!! _________________________________________________ **All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. Booster shots are included in the adoption fee and will be performed at our clinic, or the adopter can use their own vet at their expense. Adopters must reside within 2 hours of Columbus, OH.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Summer’s adoption donation is $475 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. 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.  She has also had a dental cleaning. Summer was a mill mom but is loving her new life. She is super happy and loves being with people. She also loves getting head rubs, long walks and going fun places with her foster parents. She also loves meeting new people. She has done well with meeting cats and respectful children. Summer does not need a fenced in yard as she does very well on a leash, but she does loves to relax on the patio, so a small fenced in patio would be ideal. She also does not need another dog in the house, but she would get along with a playmate. Summer is doing well on house training if kept on a schedule. Summer girl is really just a very sweet, loving girl who loves to be with her people, and she can’t wait to find her forever home.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.  November 3, 2024, 12:56 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Olivia’s adoption donation is $500 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio.  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.  She has also had a dental cleaning. Olivia requires a home with a companion dog of similar size/energy and a secure, physically fenced yard. Olivia is a mill mom who is just the sweetest girl. She is a little shy but once she warms up to you, she will be your best friend! She loves her person but also loves to be alone and sleep on her foster mom’s bed. She is LOVES treats and will eat all her foster sisters  treats if she could. She likes toys and loves to bring them to bed with her. She will need a patient home as she is working on mastering the art of potty training. She is still shy of the “outside world’ so leash walking is a little scary. Olivia definitely needs to have a fur-sibling of similar size and energy to learn all the dog things from. She is such a sweet girl and just wants to be loved!
