Ty's adoption donation $325 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio.  He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention.  Families with children 8 yrs. old or older will be considered.

11/5/13 UPDATE:  After just a couple of days in this foster home, it appears Ty has very good potty manners.  He is still a bit shy but is beginning to come out of his shell.  He is fully crate trained and loves to snuggle in a chair beside his human, though is still quite stiff when being held.  With a little more time, it seems he will learn to relax when he feels completely safe. 
 
Ty is a tiny 3 year old Yorkie boy who weighs about 4 pounds.  He came into rescue with his litter mate through no fault of his own when his former owner could no longer care for them.  He is a very shy little guy who will need a calm environment where he can thrive and become the sweet little Yorkie boy that he is.  His potty manners are dramatically better in his new foster home, but he will need continued work to help him be 100% house trained.  He gets along with his foster brother & sister and he loves to cuddle.  Due to his tiny size, we would prefer he be adopted by a mature family or one that has older children (at least 8 yrs. of age).  He would do best in a home that has experience with the breed.  He walks well on leash and does enjoy short walks.  Since he just recently arrived at his foster home, updates will be provided as he progresses.  If you think you can give Ty a loving and calm home, please submit an adoption application to be considered.  If you would like to know more after submitting an adoption application, please feel free to contact his foster mom 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.
