Shih Tzu / Maltese / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Small
*** SHANNA HAS AN ADOPTION PENDING *** Shanna is an adorably sweet 3 year old Shih Tzu - Maltese mix. She has a wonderful personality and loves to be around her people and other dogs. Shanna is playful and very treat driven. She catches on to routines quickly and lets you know when she needs to go outside to potty. Shanna was turned into rescue because her previous owner could not afford to keep her. Shanna does have some food sensitivities and is on allergy formula food--not the prescription food, but it has really helped her skin. When Shanna came into rescue she had an untreated yeast infection on her skin and in her ears. Her ears did appear to have had chronic ear infections. Once the swelling went down, a small polyp was located in her one ear canal. That has been removed and should resolve her ear infections. Shanna also receives medicated baths which have helped to resolve her skin issues--we utilize an over the counter medicated shampoo that is fairly inexpensive. Because of all that she's been through, a strong vet reference is required for adoption. Shanna's personality will win you over--she absolutely adores her people and is so excited to see you when you get home from work that she can hardly wait for attention. She is crate trained, walks well on a leash and is housebroken. She has not been reactive to cats or other pets. Shanna is up to date on her vetting and has been spayed. Shanna is being fostered in Central Ohio and her adoption fee is $275. Additional questions can be addressed to her foster mom at bsktnut123@aol.com *** PLEASE NOTE: We do adopt out of state; however, we do not ship our dogs. We do try to work with out of state adopters by assisting with transports, but in some instances, the adopters may have to come to Ohio to pick up their dog. *** 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.
