WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS ON CHLOE AS WE HAVE RECEIVED DOZENS OF APPLICATIONS ARE REVIEWING THEM TO DETERMINE THE BEST FIT FOR CHLOE.  

Chloe's adoption donation is $375 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio.  She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention.  Due to her small size, we will only consider families with children over the age of 8.


Little Miss Chloe is ready to love a new family.  She came into rescue through no fault of her own from a high kill shelter where her family had surrendered her.  She is a Maltese/Yorkie mix who weighs about 5 lbs. and is about 1.5 yrs. old.  Being a youngster, she has plenty of energy, but she can also take short naps to re-energize.  She has excellent potty manners and prefers to find a hard surface when going potty outside, like a patio, sidewalk, deck or wherever the grass doesn't grow......LOL  She is completely leash trained and will potty on leash so long walks make her very happy.  She would love to have a fenced yard to hang out in with her people, so applicants with fenced yards will be given preference.

Chloe LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her people!!!!  She has a super sweet personality and not very barky, at least not yet.  She is good with car rides, a little anxious at first, but will settle right down once on the road.  She is crate trained for when her people are away and for night time.  She would ideally love to have a play buddy in her forever home and any human who will play with her.  She gets along will all the other doggies in her foster home, always trying to get them to play with her.  She can also entertain herself with doggie toys if she can't find someone to play.  Since we don't really know how she would do as an only dog, applicants with a companion dog will be given preference as we want to keep her very social and doggie friendly.

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.
