Hi, I'm Samuel (or just Sam, if you'd prefer...I just love that you're talking to me!) And I LOVE people! I am a 2.5 year old, 40 lb Beagle boy (possibly mixed with Border Collie or Australian Shepherd too according to the vet!) - I was found running outside after I got scared by a big storm, but when my foster mom talked to my previous owner (who was elderly and had dementia), he decided to do what was best for me...letting my foster mom get me all fixed up and ready for a new home that would love me and be able to take care of me!!
- Besides being so handsome, I have been fixed, microchipped, updated on all my vaccines, and heartworm tested negative. I am also on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. My adoption donation (made to Ohio Fuzzy Pawz Rescue) is $125.
- I am SUPER SWEET, so I like men, women, and children. I just adore attention! I also love to socialize with big and small dogs alike! I'm gently curious with cats, but I don't chase them, so we can co-exist as well.
- I have done well with pottytraining...just show me how your home routine works and I'll do my best to fit in!
- My foster mom says I'm quiet; she has still never heard me bark! I'm also learning to walk well on a leash and not pull, so with more walks and basic obedience training, I'll be a pro!
- Because I do have a history of wandering away from home, it would be best if my new home had a securely-fenced yard so I won't get lost again! But this will really depend on the individual situation and family members in the home...
This laidback loverboy needs a home willing to give him back the love he will unconditionally show you! If you would be interested in meeting Sam, please submit an online adoption application! Also if you have any questions, feel free to email his foster mom at Lauren.churchey@gmail.com.

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.
