Jenn is a sweet Maltese mix that has had a tough start.  Her love for life and everyone that she meets is obvious from the first time that you meet her.  From her sweet, laughing, brown eyes,  and her cute, smiling face,  to her ever-wagging tail as she tries to wiggle her butt into your lap and your heart; Jenn is a charmer and a lovebug that you just want to curl up with on the couch while you read a good book or watch TV.   Jenn does well on a leash and loves to go for walks in the park.  She is great at snorkling thru leaves and smelling fall flowers and is fascinated by the squirrels scurrying around storing their nuts.  Jenn loves playing with toys and one of her favorite games is "crazy puppy pulls out the toy, human puts it back, crazy puppy pulls out the toy, human puts it back, crazy puppy..."  Jenn also cons the other animals in her foster home into playing this game on the humans and they all think its a hoot! 

Jenn is doing very well with house-training if kept on a schedule and is being worked with on crate training. Jenn is intelligent and full of energy but still has a lot of puppy in her. She would thrive in an active home that would give her plenty of structured exercise. Jenn does well with basic commands but her recall skills are not 100 % so a fenced-in yard will be required at this time; she would benefit from a puppy- or beginner- obedience course where her intelligence, if not charm, would ensure her star to shine. Jenn has some separation issues that have improved greatly in rescue but she does need a home that will work on this with her. Jenn hasn't met a person yet she wouldn't call friend, including children, but her exuberance might be a bit much for a small child or toddler so Jenn would probably be better with a child 8 or older.  Jenn has been spayed, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella, heartworm tested negative and on prevention.  Jenn is being fostered in Western Ohio and her adoption donation is $275.

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.
