Titus' adoption donation is $425 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms, started on prevention as well as flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning. Titus requires a home with a secure, physically fenced yard and a companion dog of similar size and energy who is already living in the home.

Titus came into rescue with Toffee through no fault of their own as his owner could no longer care for them. Titus had made a lot of progress in rescue. He is a bit apprehensive of people initially, but warms up to them in a short amount of time. Titus loves to snuggle and is sweet and loving. He will do best with a companion dog to feel safe and secure. Titus loves to play with toys and likes to play his version of fetch (sometimes he'll bring you the toy, sometimes he won't). He walks well on a leash and is doing well on housetraining if kept on a schedule. 

Mia (Titus' foster fursib) sent us this message to help Titus find his furever peeps:    "Hello, everyone. Meet my foster brother Titus! He’s the black Shih Tzu next to me. 

Oh my, when I first met Titus after he was vetted, he was skittish as heck and would not come near my human or me for days. I tried playing with him some, but he would not budge, the poor thing. 

Slowly but surely, through the help of my human and pal Kristine (thank you for keeping Titus for a few days!), he has come out of his shell and is now more trustful and outgoing. What’s more? I found out he LOVES to walk (I was so surprised that he seemed like a natural I almost swooned) and spends a lot of the time- besides stuffing his face, of course-playing with some of MY toys. It’s so wonderful to see him shake his head so vigorously while murdering my toy duck! 

I sure hope he finds a good home (and maybe a GREAT furry sister or brother like me!) so he remains a happy and loving dog!"

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.
