Bobo’s adoption donation is $375 and he is being fostered in Northeast Ohio.  He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning.  Bobo requires a home with a strong veterinary history.

Bobo was surrendered by his previous owner when he didn't get along with another dog in the home and the owner stated that he was aggressive toward another dog in the home who was first aggressive towards him. Thankfully, someone advocated for him and his foster mom has not seen evidence of aggression. He most likely will thrive in a home with no young children under the age of 10 years old and with a dog that is of calmer temperament. His forever pawrents must also be comfortable with his growls because he is a talkative dog - albeit all bark and no bite. He just likes to "trash talk" He favors men and possibly older women. His foster mum says, "He's so funny because he seems to not like me too much because he growls at me the most. He'll come and growl when I put ear drops or his belly band but won't walk away from me and will instead lean in for scratchies. He's very loving, sweet and a really good cuddler. He's hefty so he's extra nice to cuddle with. He's got these beautiful, soulful eyes that seem to speak to you and everyone in the house loves him so so much."  Bobo is on a special diet due to allergies and must remain on that diet. Bobo has done really well with housetraining on a schedule. He enjoys car rides and walks with his foster bros. 

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.
