Sidney's adoption donation is $450 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio.  She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention.

UPDATE: After only a short while in foster care, Sidney is making great strides with her potty manners if kept on a schedule.  She is a very smart puppy and her training is moving along nicely in all areas.


Due to Sidney's small size, we will only consider families with children over the age of 8.  She is very small and very active, so will need an experienced small dog owner who can handle her size and activity.  She is working on her potty manners, improving daily so long as she is kept on a schedule.  She is learning to walk on leash and LOVES to play fetch with a small tennis ball.............LOVES to play fetch.  She is crate trained for nightime and when her family is away, but will have accidents in her crate so we continue to work on that piece as well.  Since we don't know her history, her behavior lends us to believe she spent a lot of time in a crate so that is most likely why she does her potty business there as well.  She is a very smart puppy and is catching on pretty well with all the new "rules" she is learning in her foster home.

Sidney is very sweet and enjoys doggie toys and tries to play with the other pupsters in her foster home.  She would do best if she had a playmate in her forever home.  She would also benefit from a fenced yard as she loves to run and play when outside so we will give preference to applicants with a fenced yard.  We are also working to help her enjoy car rides and to be a very social little girl who wants to be out and about with her forever family.

 

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.
