Shih Tzu : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Small
*** PRINCESS HAS AN ADOPTION PENDING *** This is Princess - her registered name is Princess of the Clouds. She truly deserves this name, since she is a true charming little girl. Princess is a 5 year old black and white Shih Tzu. She loves to play tug of war, chase the ball, and her favorite toy is a lady bug stuffie. She will bring it right to you when she wants to play. Princess also enjoys walks, but doesn't like to walk in the snow packed areas. Her tiny toes freeze too fast. She loves to dress up in pretty clothes and will model them for you. Her personality is that of a princess. She loves to cuddle and get her back and tummy rubbed. She will speak to you if you talk to her and will sometimes start the conversation. She will go potty outside if you tell her "Let's go potty", she is housebroken, but needs to be kept on a schedule. She gets along with other dogs in a home setting but does get a little nervous in public settings. We are working on getting her to be more comfortable in a variety of settings. Princess is a wonderful friend who will keep you company and even talk with you. She would make a younger or older couple a great pet, even possibly a couple with a older child. Princess was turned into rescue because of long-term skin issues and neglect. She was extremely matted when she came into rescue and we even removed bubble gum from some of her mats. We have treated her skin condition with antibiotics, medicated shampoo and a limited ingredient diet (over-the-counter) and she has responded remarkably well. Because of her skin condition, the adopter should have an excellent vet reference. Princess has been spayed, brought current on her shots, heartworm tested negative and on prevention. Princess is being fostered in Central Ohio. Her foster mom can be emailed at trudyeisaprgal@yahoo.com and her adoption donation is $250. *** 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.
