Ethan's adoption donation is $250 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio.  Ethan has been neutered and tested negative for heartworms,  Ethan is current on his Rabies vaccine, Distemper/Parvo and Bordatella. He is also on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventative. Ethan is also micro chipped through Home Again. Ethan receives GenTeal eye drops in the am and pm to help with mild dry eye. This can be purchased at CVS and should continue for the rest of his life to maintain health in his remaining eye. A strong vet reference is required as well as an experienced adopter.

Ethan is a pint sized Lhasa Apso who will charm his way into your heart. He is a very lucky little boy, who was fortunate to have a local dog shelter ask Ohio Fuzzy Pawz to take him into rescue. You see, he only has one eye, and needs a home that can provide him with a calm and stressless environment.  Ethan gets along very well with the other dogs in his foster home, and also with adults and children. He loves going for car rides, and walks in the morning and evening. Stuffy toys with squeakers are his favorites.  In the mornings, Ethan spends time on the glider in the backyard, with his foster mom, while she drinks her coffee. He flops on his back for belly rubs. He is crate trained and house broken. Ethan likes to be around people, and if he wants some private time, he hangs out on the back deck of his foster home, watching the birds and squirrels. Ethan's successful placement will be into a home with no children, large dogs, or multiple dogs. The best estimate of Ethan's age, is 5 years old. 

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.
