Pomeranian / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (long coat) : : Male (neutered) : : Young : : Small
Desmond's adoption donation is $350 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworm and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning.
Meet sweet, smart, energetic Desi!! He is an approximately 3 year old, 9 pound Pomeranian/Yorkie boy who was left at a local vet to be euthanized because his owners were moving. Needless to say, the vet did not believe healthy Desi should be put down, so he made it to the safety of our rescue. Desi loves attention from you and could be quite happy as the only pup in your life cuddling with you on the sofa! While he does get along with other low-key dogs, he would thrive as an only dog where he is the center of attention. His coat is just so soft to run your fingers through, and he hardly sheds at all (he doesn't bother foster dad's allergies!) He has not been around younger children but should do well in a home with children over the age of 8. Desi's favorite toys are squeaky ones, but he is an expert at silencing the squeakers permanently! He is also learning "Sit" and "Stay" and is a good little eater. A fenced yard would be best for Desi to run and play in, but he loves to go for walks on a leash too which are perfect for burning off his energy so he will snuggle up in your lap! Because of his desire to alert you to anything "suspicious", he would not do well in an apartment. Desi is doing very well with pottytraining once he learns your home routine. He is crate-trained at night and sleeps very well in a crate beside his foster mom's bed. He would also love to sleep in the big bed with you too! Desi rides very well in the car, settling down nicely after his initial excitement. Desi is such a lovable little guy...would you be willing to love him in return? More about Desmond (ADOPTION PENDING)Good with Dogs 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.
