Rascal's adoption donation is $225, and he is being fostered in the Central Ohio area. He is a 9 year old ShihTzu. He has been microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella and flu vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. He also had a recent dental with extractions. We do require a home with a strong, verifiable veterinary history.

Rascal is a sweet confident little guy who loves life. He loves to be with his people and his buddy Prissie. Rascal and Prissie spent most of their life in a single home until their owner passed away. After some transitions, they found their way (together) to OFP. Prissie is very attached to Rascal and they will need to be adopted together. Together, they are a dynamic and loving duo. Rascal has that sweet and spunky Shih Tzu personality. He loves to be the center of attention and cuddling up on your lap or for bed time. He does well with grooming and has excellent housetraining manners. He enjoys other dogs and playing with toys. He does well in the car and walks well on a leash. He likes to play fetch (and actually brings it back to you!). He’s a sweet little guy full of personality and love.

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.
