Zane's adoption donation is $400 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio.  He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella, and bivalent canine influenza vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. 

Update: Zane is a very smart boy who has come a long way in a very short period of time.  His potty manners are almost perfect if taken out on a regular schedule, he is completely crate trained, and he is doing very well on his leash training.

 Zane came into rescue through a local kill shelter where he was picked up as a stray and then claimed by his owner.  However, it turned out he was the wrong dog and so he was again being discarded through a social media source wherein OFP found & saved him.  He is an approximately 2 year old Shih Tzu boy, with the sweetest personality ever,  who just loves his people.  His potty manners are improving quickly as it seems he didn't have much training or was kept in a crate because he seems not to be familiar with grass or else he is just a fussy boy about his feet getting wet.........LOL  At the present time he seems to prefer hard surfaces for his potty place, however, is quickly learning to step into the dry grass as an alternative option.

He loves to play with other dogs and would benefit greatly by having a home with another furbaby for him to play with and learn from.  He does pretty well walking on leash and seems to enjoy taking long walks.   Since we don't really know his history, a fenced yard might also be of great benefit to him as he learns boundaries and general commands.  We don't know if he is good with cats as there are none in his current foster home.  He does seem to love children as he happily greets them on his daily walks.

More about Zane

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids

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.
