Shih Tzu (long coat) : : Female (spayed) : : Young : : Small
Sydnee's (aka DeeDee) 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 heartworm and started on prevention. Good with dogs, cats and children over the age of 8-10 due to her small size. Sydnee came into rescue through no fault of her own as her former owner felt it would be in her best interest- a difficult decision. She is only 14 months old and quite a delightful little girl weighing only 8 pounds. She has great potty manners and will need close monitoring as she does not yet signal when she needs to go out. Keeping her on a schedule would be best. She is very shy at first, but likes to play with doggie toys and will engage in play with other dogs once she feels safe and comfortable. We are finding her to be quite the snuggle bug when she is done playing! A fenced yard would not be necessary, but would be encouraged for her safety. She attaches to her people once she gets past her shyness. We would like to find her a forever home with experienced dog owners and where they understand she will need continued training to keep her a balanced little girl. She has shown some signs of guarding with food and toys, but is learning very quickly this is unwanted doggie behavior. She likes to please her people so will be a quick study for any additional training her new family may want to engage with her. She is both leash and crate trained, but would prefer to snuggle in the "big bed" at night if her new family is ok with that. If you are looking for a happy little girl to love and share life with, please complete an adoption application to be considered. We do our best to match each dog to the family best suited, so these beautiful creatures will never have to search for a new family ever again.

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.
