Bo's adoption donation is $250 and he is being fostered in North Eastern Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms, started on prevention as well as flea prevention.  He has also had a dental cleaning as well. 

Bo, as you can see, has an adorable, endearing face. He likes to sit by the window and watch activity outside. Bo came into rescue through no fault of his own when his mom passed away.  His foster mum believes that he suffered severe trauma from a very aggressive dog he lived with in his original home. Thus, the best situation for him is to be the only dog in his new furrever home for the rest of his life. He is a bit of a loner and reminds his foster family of a grumpy old man - except cuter. He needs lots of space to warm up and is magnetized to people who give him that. He does not like it when his face is cupped in someone's hands, or faces too close to his - and he's not afraid to let you know. He will show his affection by coming near you for a pet, which will grow to licks once you've been deemed worthy. When you fully grow on him, he will advance to sitting in your lap for long cuddles. So if you have a heart for grumpy, but really handsome dogs, who are just misunderstood because of past trauma, you might be the one for Bo! 

His foster mum says, "Bo has a very special place in my heart. I absolutely love grumpy dogs. They love so fiercely when they've found their human/humans because it takes a special kind of person to understand them and be able to see past their grumpiness. Bo is so very sweet and is one of my favourite fosters (shhh don't tell my other fosters that). He has this cute little welcome howl that he does when you come home and it's so stinking cute! He's a great cuddler once he lets you into his heart."

Bo does well on housetraining if kept on a schedule and loves to go for walks.  Bo will need to be adopted to a quieter home with no children.

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.
