Alexis' adoption donation is $350 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 on prevention, as well as flea prevention. DUE TO HER SMALL SIZE, ONLY FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN OVER THE AGE OF 6 WILL BE CONSIDERED.

My foster mom says I'm one very sweet, petite little girl who just loves to be loved!  I'm a happy-go-lucky girl most of the time and love to be with my people.  I get along with all the pupsters here in my foster home, happy to share the toys, and go for walks whenever I get a chance.  I do very well on my potty manners so long as you keep me on a schedule.  I prefer to potty outside and am crate trained for night time and whenever my foster family is away. 

I am estimated to be about 4 years old but could be a bit younger.  OFP doesn't know my history because I came into the local shelter.  Due to my small size, the shelter friends asked OFP to take me, so I would be sure to find a fabulous forever home.  I have a very good appetite so have picked up a pound or so and now weigh a whopping 6 pounds!  I am moderately active, enjoying a good romp in the fenced yard here at my foster home, and I love to play with doggie toys.  We don't know if I'm okay with kitties since there are none here in my foster home, but since I'm so small, I'm sure I could learn to get along with one. 

I'm looking for a forever family that can love me and take extra good care of me, so I won't end up back in a shelter ever again.  I think I'd like a family with some human kiddos to play with, and I wouldn't mind a fur-buddy who likes to play as well.  If you think you might be interested in making me a part of your family, please submit an adoption application to be considered.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids

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.
