Poodle (Toy) (medium coat) : : Male (neutered) : : Adult : : Small
Berry's adoption donation is $300 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention as well as flea prevention. Berry has also had a dental cleaning. Due to his small size, we will not consider adoptors with children under the age of 8. Berry, a 10 lb. toy poodle, was pulled from a local shelter where he had been placed in their "shy dog" program and wasn't doing well. Getting him into a normal home environment has greatly improved his shyness, however, he is still learning to trust humans. He is estimated to be about 6 yrs. old, a very sweet and smart boy who truly wants to be loved and to interact with his human family. He does great with other animals and is learning to to play with doggie toys. His potty manners are quite good so long as he is kept on a schedule. He is crate trained for night time and when his humans are away from home. At this early stage in rescue, we feel he would do best in a rather quiet home where there is NOT a lot of fast-paced activity. Young children will be a challenge for him so a home with older children who are not highly active inside the home would be preferred. It will take time and patience to allow Berry to become comfortable in his new environment. He is very loving and once he trusts you, he will be your shadow and seek your attention. We are working on leash training so he can enjoy taking walks with his new family. A fenced yard would be helpful for him so he can enjoy the outdoors as he seems not to have had that pleasure prior to coming into rescue. He is not very vocal at this point, but will alert you to company or another barking dog in your neighborhood. If you feel you are the right home for Berry, please complete & submit an adoption application to be considered. Our goal for all of our rescue dogs is to find each one the best home possible, one that is most suited to each dog's needs and energy.

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.
