Mallorie's adoption donation is $400 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio.  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.

Mallorie came into rescue from a local kill shelter.  She is an 11 month old puppy and because of the limited attention and constant confinement Mallorie was not doing well in the shelters limited setting.

Mallorie has blossomed since coming into rescue.  She is an affectionate girl, who loves attention and snuggles.  She loves to play with toys and tosses them around and runs and plays.   She is great about entertaining herself, but also loves to play with her foster fur sisters. She is a puppy but is doing well on with her potty manners when kept on a schedule.  She does well walking with her harness and leash.  As most puppies she is a curious little girl and loves to investigate the world.   At her foster home she was excited to check out the pool & go for a swim.  She is a beautiful gray and white 11 month old Shih Tzu mix who loves everyone and everything.  Mallorie currently sleeps in a crate at night without a peep, but I'm sure she would love to sleep & snuggle with you all night.  She is a petite girl at only 8 pounds so even though she does well with children, for her protection we will accept no homes with children under the age of 8.  If your looking for a younger dog who is well behaved and has great potty manners and loves everything and everyone Mallorie is the pup for you.  Fill out your application today she won't be in foster care long as she will be adopted by her Furever Family quickly and if you want her you need to apply today!!!!

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.
