Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Sasha – a gentle soul ready for her second chance at love! Sasha’s adoption donation is $425, and she is currently being fostered in Cincinnati, Ohio. This lovely girl has been spayed, microchipped, and is fully vaccinated, including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. She’s also tested negative for heartworms, is on monthly preventatives, and recently had a dental cleaning to keep her smile bright. Sasha came to us through no fault of her own and is blossoming in her foster home, where she’s learning what it means to be safe, loved, and truly cared for. Despite her past hardships, Sasha’s heart is full of love, and she’s ready to share it with the right family. She adores snuggling up next to you on the couch but is also perfectly content curling up in her own cozy bed. One of her favorite spots? Perched on the back of the couch, surveying her surroundings like the little queen she is. She walks beautifully on a leash and delights in exploring every corner of the yard or neighborhood. Stuffy toys are a special joy for Sasha—she proudly carries them around when she’s feeling happy and excited. She is crate trained and does well with house training when kept on a routine. Because of her naturally timid nature, Sasha would thrive in a calm, quiet home with patient and loving adopters. A family with older, dog-savvy children would be ideal. While she gets along well with other dogs and even cats, Sasha would also be perfectly content as your one-and-only companion. She does have a bit of an adventurous streak, so she’ll need to be leashed at all times when outside—even in a fenced yard—to keep her safe until she is fully acclimated to her home. Sasha is the kind of dog who will quietly steal your heart and become your most loyal little shadow. If you’re looking for a soft, sweet companion who’s ready to leave her past behind and step into a future full of comfort and care, Sasha might just be your perfect match. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.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.  April 25, 2025, 7:54 pm

Story
Interested in two small fluffy senior dogs? Meet Daisy Mae and her 'sister' Bessie Boo our maltese/shih tzu mixes. They lost the only home they've ever known when their owner passed away and are looking for a new retirement home where they can stay together. We dont know if they are actually sisters but they are both 11 years old. Daisy Mae is the motherly one of the pair and is the smaller one at a little over 9 lbs. She watches over Bessie and will not sleep or eat without her Bessie Boo. Both are very quiet and we havent heard daisy bark yet. Perfect for apartments or condo with shared walls! They have been used to living with a woman, but have no problems with getting attention from men. They have been around older children but not toddlers. Daisy loves being a lap baby and enjoys stretching out on the back of the couch like a cat. Larger dogs scare her but she is fine with small dogs and pays no mind to the vets cat. If you tell her go potty she will go outside with you. These two have a very special bond and have touched our hearts. We really want to keep them together, so if you have room for two tiny quiet girls, apply at www.caninecollective.org.
