Shih Tzu / Poodle (unknown type) / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Small
Here's Claire! She's an approximately 3 year old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. Claire weighs about 12 pounds. She is a puppy mill survivor and will require an owner with plenty of patience and understanding. Because of her years in a puppy mill, Claire is very unsure of people and is slowly learning that people are okay. She shows no signs of aggression. Claire is currently attending doggie daycare so she can work with a trainer one on one. Her time at daycare is helping her learn how to be a happy dog and future family member. Claire enjoys the company of other dogs and would really like another dog in her new home to take the lead. At this time, Claire is housebroken and crate trained- she is making more progress everyday. Claire is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Claire is also Heartworm negative and on preventive. Her adoption donation is $250. She is being fostered in Central Ohio. For more details about Claire, please contact her foster mom at choirlalala@aol.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.
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.
