Shih Tzu (long coat) : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Small
Liver & White
Libby is a 3 year old liver and white shih tzu. She is a sweet girl who was found as a stray. Libby has been spayed, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella shots, heartworm tested negative and on prevention. Libby had some bladder stones removed and now has a clean bill. It is recommended that she have a prescription diet to prevent future stones. She has also had her teeth cleaned. She has been in Foster care since April this year, She is coming along nicely Libby is loveable and at times very comical. She is a playful girl she loves to tug a rope, or pounce at you like a kitten. She plays well with toys and happily accepts belly rubs snuggles. She'll curl up cozily on your lap. She is friendly to strangers and does best with older supervised children. She plays nicely with younger kids also, as long as 'their' play is supervised. She also loves to ride in the car, she is curious and will travel around so you would want to make sure to restrain her while riding. She does well on her housetraining skills if kept on a schedule. She is very good about expressing herself. She will tell you if she needs to go outside, wants something to eat, or wants to get up to sit on your lap. Libby likes it if you brush her so that makes grooming much more simple. I have had no trouble leaving her uncrated while I have been out of the home. I have dogs that are home with her to keep her company. She gets along fine with my dogs even though they are 50# Libby is not intimidated by them. She enjoys snuggling up in her crate, but gets tense when confined inside it. She loves her walks and does very well on a leash. Libby will sleep in bed with you but has learned to be content to sleep on a soft doggie bed on the floor next to her persons bed. Libby is being fostered in Central Ohio and additional questions can be sent to her foster mom Mary. Her adoption donation is $275.More about LibbyGood with Dogs, Good with Kids, Good with Adults, Good for Seniors/Elderly, Somewhat vocal, Does Good in the Car, Hypoallergenic, Leashtrained, Likes to play with toys, Likes to be in your lap, Apartment OK, Prefers cool climate, Prefers warm climate, Needs special care, Obedient, Playful, Affectionate, Eager To Please, Intelligent, Even-tempered, Gentle, Goofy Special Needs: Special diet would benefit her 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.
