Peggy Sue's adoption fee is $200 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.  She has also had a dental cleaning.  

Peggy Sue is a happy 7-8 year old, 10 pound Yorkie/Maltese girl who loves attention and her person!  This petite girl was pulled from a local kill shelter and was a hot mess, even needing to have a massive hernia on her belly repaired.  All fixed and better now!  She also has a cataract in her left eye which does not bother her and just makes her adorable face especially unique!  And Miss Peggy Sue loves to be talked to; she gets so excited and wags her tail because you are paying her the slightest bit of attention!

Check out her Youtube video showing how she plays with toys- so ferocious!!  She has done fantastic with pottytraining; she is a dainty lady who doesn't like her feet to get wet but does her business and hurries inside!  She is also cratetrained at night and walks well on a leash.  Peggy Sue gets along with other dogs but is fine as an only dog as well.  She loves to just follow you around the house like a little velcro girl and give gentle lick-kisses if you bring your face near hers.  She loves to be held and snuggle with you...she loves to just fall asleep in your arms and lap.  She also rides well in the car and does not get carsick- yay! 

We do recommend a quieter home with no children under the age of 8-10 due to her smaller size.  Because she loves her people so much, she would also love a home where someone was home more often than not.  If you have any questions about sweet Peggy Sue, feel free to email her foster mom at Lauren.churchey@gmail.com.

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.
