Shih Tzu / Mixed : : Male (neutered) : : Adult : : Small
Goku is a sweet, gorgeous, male shih tzu who sadly came to our rescue following a domestic violence situation. Although he probably didn't live in the most stable environment, he is very well-socialized and he's a very good dog. He's a happy, playful dog whose tail seems to be independent from the rest of his body because it never stops wagging! Goku has the cutest head-tilt that can put a smile on your face no matter what type of day you've had. He's loving, laid back and he's good with other dogs. Many people would think an 11-year-old shih tzu is too old, but smaller breeds tend to live longer than larger breeds. Plus, if you met Goku, you would think he's 2 years old. He has had blood work done, including chemistry profile, CBC and urinanalysis, and his results were excellent. He also had his teeth cleaned. His health is good, his eyes look great and his energy level is wonderful. Goku is potty-trained, neutered, up to date on his shots and ready to meet his new human(s). His adoption fee is $150 and anyone with a warm heart and comfy couch (that's his request) is welcome to apply here: APPLY TO ADOPT If you have any questions, please email his foster mom at rebequiux7@gmail.com Thanks for looking! 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.
