Pekingese / Shih Tzu (medium coat) : : Female : : Adult : : Small
This is Chewy! She is 4 yrs old and weighs a mere 10 lbs. We believe she is a Pekingese mix, based on her adorable face and shining personality. She came into rescue from a high kill shelter in NW Ohio. Chewy was dumped at this shelter and all she wanted was to get out of there. She was so frightened in the shelter that she tore up the pads on her feet trying to dig her way out of the kennel.
Chewy has been spayed, received her rabies, initial distemper/parvo, initial bordetella, heartworm tested negative and started on prevention. She is a super sweet girl and does well with housetraining. When it is time for bed, she gets in her bed and stays there all night. She does not do well in a crate but is a very good girl, so crating really isn't necessary! Chewy definitely wants to be with her people, and she also gets along well with other dogs.
Chewy is being fostered in Central Ohio and her adoption donation is $250. More about Chewy (ADOPTION PENDING)Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Kids, Affectionate, Eager To Please, Gentle 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.
