Shih Tzu (long coat) : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Small
SamiSue's adoption donation is $200 and she is being fostered in the Athens, Ohio area. SamiSue has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella vaccines and tested negative for heartworm and started on prevention as well as flea prevention. SamiSue has also had a dental. SamiSue is a shy but sweet girl whose world was turned upside down. She was surrendered to a local kill by a family because SamiSue's mom could no longer care for her and they left her at the shelter. She was terrified at the shelter and has calmed down significantly now that she's in rescue and feels so much safer. Note from Sami Sue: I'm adjusting well and enjoying my foster family. I'm excited to see them when they get home. They spoil me with treats because I'm a good girl & potty outside. I spin around in circles and bark playfully for my treats. In a few days I think I just might start to run & play with my foster sisters. Just so you know I'm afraid of the crate, but I try to be good when left alone and I'll love to snuggle up next to you to sleep. My foster Mommy says I'm a very good girl, I haven't had any accidents even when left at home alone all day. I'll be your best buddy, so hurry and fill out your application before my foster family gets even more attached to me. I'll love you furever and ever if you'll share your heart with me.More about Sami Sue (ADOPTION PENDING)Good with Dogs, Good with Adults, Leashtrained, Needs special care 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.
