Shih Tzu / Mixed : : Male (neutered) : : Young : : Small
Jackpot is a beautiful 1-year-old shih-tzu (maybe slightly poodle) male. His sweet teddy-bear look and cotton-soft coat alone will steal your heart. As beautiful as he is, it's his personality and kindness that really make him stand out. He is as gentle and loving as can be, and would make a wonderful family dog. Even though he is very calm and is happy just sitting next to you, he's also very patient in what most dogs would consider stressful situations. At the moment he's living with two very active puppies (who the rest of our dogs find quite obnoxious), and he loves to play with them. He will just lie down and let them climb all over him as they nibble at his ears and paw at his face. Jackpot just loves people, and will cuddle as much as you want, but will also will give you your space is that's what you want. So how does a gem like this end up in rescue, you ask? We wonder the same thing - not that it would ever make sense to surrender your dog to a shelter. The good news is he is so wonderful... who wouldn't want him!! *******Jackpot's adoption fee is $275. He is neutered, working on his potty-training, and current on all shots. If you would like more information, contact his foster mom at rebequiux7@gmail.com******* If you're ready to submit an application, you can find it here: http://www.usshihtzurescue.com/adoptmailohin.html ******* Thanks for looking! 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.
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.
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.
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.
