Lhasa Apso : : Male (neutered) : : Adult : : Small
*** BUDDY HAS AN ADOPTION PENDING *** Buddy is a lhasa apso that was welcomed into Ohio Fuzzy Pawz, from an out of state owner surrender, right before Christmas. He was originally rescued from a shelter, hours prior to his scheduled euthanization. He is a wonderful little guy, who is approximately 1 to 1 1/2 years old, and weighs 18 lbs. Buddy has a very loving and sweet temperament, and I have not encountered any negative behavior from him. He is crate trained, housebroken and knows basic commands. He is not an annoying barker, but he will let you know that he wants his crate covered by a sheet at night. He likes to be picked up and will stand up and put his front paws on your leg, giving you the please pick me up signal. Buddy loves other dogs, children, teens, men, cats and anyone that he meets along the way. I have to spell out W-A-L-K and R-I-D-E because they are some of his favorite things to do. Buddy is a medium energy level dog and will need daily walks and play time with toys. He does not chew on anything that is not his, and loves to carry around his favorite squeaky chicken. He will very gently take a treat from your hand. Buddy has never shown food, toy or possession aggression in our home. He is very smart, and picks up on new commands and behaviors quickly. He is a snuggler, and loves to sit and watch TV with you. I call him Busy Buddy, because he will follow you around the house, he is not a loner and will seek out your company. He enjoys his bath, and loves to be brushed and soaks up the belly rubs. If he is interested in seeing something up high, he will stand up on his hind legs and walk like a Meerkat. I have never seen a lhasa apso do that before, until now. Buddy loves to play outside in a fenced yard, and run laps, and also engage in play with other dogs. He will do very well in a home with other animals and children, although toddlers may be a bit rough for him. Buddy will require regular grooming from a professional groomer. If you think that Buddy would be a special addition to your family, please fill out an application. Buddy will be attending the Mingle with the Mutts events at the Franklin County Animal Shelter beginning Jan, 2, 2011. Please come and meet Buddy in person, he would love that belly rub. *** PLEASE NOTE: We do adopt out of state; however, we do not ship our dogs. We do try to work with out of state adopters by assisting with transports, but in some instances, the adopters may have to come to Ohio to pick up their 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.
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.
