Ditto's adoption donation is $300 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, dhlpp, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. Ditto has had a dental cleaning with numerous extractions.  She does require a home with a strong veterinary history.

Ditto came into rescue with several other dogs from a seizure in Tennessee.  She has made amazing in rescue. She is quite spunky and playful for a mature girl, but one of her favorite things to do it is to snuggle with her human. She's also definitely a foodie who isn't very picky so she'll often gaze longingly into your eyes with her tongue sticking out as you eat anything yourself. Ditto has done so well in rescue and recovered from the previous lack of care. She does require daily eye meds for dry eye which is quite common in the breed.  She tolerates the medication easily and while it has impaired her vision somewhat, she adapts quite well to her surroundings.

While Ditto gets along with other dogs, she does well on her own and loves to be with her person so she would be fine as an only dog as well. Ditto does well on housetraining if kept on a schedule.  She is the best greeter and loves to befriend everyone she meets.  Her personality overall is so sweet. She loves any new human she meets, especially children for some reason -- maybe because they're funsize like her. She's a cuddle enthusiast and often naps on my lap for hours as I work from home. Ditto loves playing with toys and has an overall positive outlook on life.  She's just so cuddly AND playful. One of her cutest traits though is how her tongue always sticks out of her mouth when sleeping and she always wakes up with the cutest exposed blep. Ditto will make her next family very very happy.

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.
