Shih Tzu : : Male (neutered) : : Adult : : Small
This is McRib. He is a black and white Lhasa Apso or Shih Tzu that is about 4 years old. McRib came to us as a result of an abuse situation in which he was kicked and beaten. He had 5-6 broken ribs, and a large gash on his head as a result. You would think that McRib would be resentful or afraid of people but that isn't the case at all. He loves people and always wants to be nearby. McRib LOVES to go for walks and is like an ironman through the neighborhood, but that doesn't mean McRib doesn't appreciate a good nap. He is active or non-active as you are. McRib has been neutered, received his shots, heartworm tested negative and on prevention. McRib has also had a dental and had a cherry eye repaired. He does have a small heart murmur for which he takes a daily pill that is on the $4 list at a local pharmacy. McRib is fine around other dogs and loves to play with his toys. He would make a great addition to most any family. *** PLEASE NOTE: Due to his previous injuries, applicants will need a strong vet reference. McRib's adoption donation is $275 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. If you have any questions about McRib, please contact his foster mom at bsktnut123@aol.com *** PLEASE NOTE: We do adopt out of state; however, we do not ship our dogs. We do try to work with out of state adopters by assisting with transports, but in some instances, the adopters may have to come to Ohio to pick up their dog. *** 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.
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.
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.
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.
