Daisee's adoption donation is $300 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio.  She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella, and tested negative for heartworm.  She is currently on heartworm and flea prevention.  Daisee had surgery to have bladder stones removed, a hernia repaired and a dental.

Daisee came into rescue through no fault of her own.  Her previous owner could no longer care for her and hadn’t really given her proper attention in almost 2 years of her 4 years of life.  Daisee’s bladder was full of bladder stones, which have been removed and she had a large hernia repaired at the same time.  She was significantly overweight  at 24 pounds when she came into rescue and that made the surgery somewhat more difficult, but bladder stones are extremely painful and we wanted to get those removed as quickly as possible.   She has been a trooper through all of this and has completely recovered from her surgery.  She is also on a urinary diet to ensure she does not have a recurrence of the stones.  She has already lost 8 pounds and loves to go for walks.  You can tell she feels so much better than she did.  Daisee’s lack of care also caused her hair to be extremely thin  and she her hair has completely grown back in and looks great.   Daisee does very well on housetraining when kept on a schedule and loves to have her belly rubbed.  She has a wonderful personality and would love to have a family of her own.  Due to the neglect that Daisee has suffered, we will only consider applications with a strong veterinary history as potential adopters.

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.
