Shih Tzu : : Female : : Adult : : Small
Carolyn's adoption donation is $325 and she is being fostered in the Athens, Ohio area. 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. Carolyn has also had a dental cleaning. Carolyn came into rescue as one of the six dogs taken in from a hoarding situation in Clermont County. She is such a sweet, petite 5 pound, gold and white shih tzu girl that has suffered a great deal of abuse in her approximate 3 years of life. She was missing an eye when she came into rescue and we believe she is close to blind in the remaining eye. Carolyn does not let this stop her as she loves attention and loves to be held. Carolyn gets along with other dogs as long as they are not always in her face, but those dogs tend to startle or frighten her. Carolyn's foster family calls her Winnie because she is a real winner in their eyes. In the short time she has been with them she has really shown that even though she can't see she doesn't let that stop her. She quickly learned her way around the house & goes in and out to potty just like the other dogs. She even climbs the stairs to go to bed at night. She loves to play with toys and even attempts to try and play with the other dogs. Carolyn doesn't know that she isn't like all the other dogs, this is her life & she lives it to the fullest! Since she has been through so much a home with a strong veterinary history is required. Due to her small size, homes with children over the age of 10 would be best. More about Carolyn Clermont (ADOPTION PENDING)Good with Dogs 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.
