COURTESY POST

Please contact KARF with any questions pertaining to Puffy.  Ohio Fuzzy Pawz is merely listing him as a courtesy.

Looking for a loving, loyal, and devoted “ladies’ man” as a companion, then Puffy, an 8 – 10 year old white neutered poodle, is the one for you. Puffy is an affectionate fellow who loves to snuggle and to lay across your lap, belly side up, put his head on your chest and look up at you with adoration. Puffy is a marvelous companion: he loves being near his human so wherever you are-working at your desk, working on the computer, etc,-Puffy is sure to be there to keep you company. He’s also a well-behaved companion for car rides. The enthusiastically joyful greeting you’ll receive from Puffy every time you come home shows his devotion and loyalty. And while you are gone Puffy is a perfect gentleman. Mostly likely he will have staked out a place on the top of the back of a couch or chair where he can look out a window to watch the world go by as he awaits your return. Puffy is leash trained and enjoys going on walks and likes to walk to the park and enjoy a companionable moment sitting next to you on a bench watching what’s going on.

Puffy is a true “ladies’ man” as he prefers women to men. Though he is friendly with males he encounters when he is out walking or those that come visit at his foster home and runs to greet his foster father at the door and likes to climb into his lap and get his belly rubbed, on a day to day basis Puffy is very protective of his human female so he’d do best in a household with a single female.

Puffy is house-broken and easily gets on a schedule. He goes to the back door to let you know he needs to go out. He prefers sleeping in bed with you [though a bed on the floor next to your side of the bed you will do]. Puffy would probably do best as an only dog; though he gets along with dogs of all sizes and doesn’t mind if they sleep next to him, he does not interact much with other dogs. Puffy likes to chase the cat in his foster home, but has never been aggressive towards her. 

Puffy is neutered, UTD on rabies and other vaccinations, is microchipped, current on monthly flea and heartworm prevention medications, and is groomed regularly.
Like many other poodles, Puffy has allergies for which he takes ½ of a 10 mg Loratadine [generic for Claritin] pill twice a day. Currently Puffy weighs about 14lbs; he has a few more lbs to lose.

If you are looking for an affectionate, loving, loyal, and devoted companion, then please consider adopting Puffy. Puffy was rescued by the Kentucky Animal Relief Foundation[KARF] and he is in Kentucky. For a description of KARF’s adoption process and an on line adoption application, please visit the link below at KARF’s website to apply to adopt Puffy: http://www.kyanimalrelief.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=8. If you have questions about Puffy or the adoption process or application, you can contact Puffy’s foster mother Roberta at: robertam@iglou.com. Transport assistance is available to a screened and approved home.

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.
