Mickey is a fun little guy who really likes to be with his humans. Upon a good vet exam, it is believed he is between 1 & 2 yrs. old and in very good health.   He is current on vaccs, heartworm and fecal negative and only weighs 7.4 lbs. so it would be good to find a family with older children.  He is playing with the doggie toys and having fun playing with the other pupsters in his foster home.  He gets along great with all the furkids, however he is a little unsure with large breed dogs.  Mickey was left with the Clinton County Humane Society by his family so he is feeling very rejected at the present time, but is adapting quite well in his foster home. His potty manners are very good but that is always a work in progress.  Mickey seems to like his new name as he is already responding to it, so he is one smart little boy.

Mickey has been neutered and is ready for his forever home.  He is doing pretty well with walking on leash and is learning "sit".  He loves to be held and cuddled and would be perfect with another pupster to play with.   Mickey is being fostered in the Central Ohio area and his adoption donation is $275.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email his foster home at ljpfile05@frontier.com.

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.
