DewyMaleAge: 12 yearsWeight: 15 lbsBreed: Lhasa Apso Hi! I’m Dewy. I am a sweet and loving guy who is good with other dogs and even cats. I do best in a calm and quiet home, as loud noises and too much activity make me nervous. Because of this, I’d prefer a home with older children who understand that I need gentle care. I’m working hard my house training, am leash-trained, and crate-trained, but I do need to be crated when left alone—it’s my safe space where I can relax. One of my favorite things is spending time outside, sniffing around and taking in all the smells at my own leisurely pace. I also love meeting new four-legged friends—my tail wags like crazy whenever I see them! I enjoy watching other dogs play with toys, though I haven’t quite figured out how to join in yet. Maybe one day! I also appreciate my gentle brushing sessions—they make me feel fancy, and I think I look pretty good afterward too! While I may be a little shy at first, I promise I’m as sweet and loving as they come. I’m still learning the ropes of living in a home, but I’ve come a long way and am discovering how wonderful a cozy bed and a warm spot by the heater can be. I’m also thriving on a schedule—it helps me feel safe and secure. I have Lyme Disease, but I’m on medication and doing well. I’ve had a rough life, but I’m finally getting to experience what it means to be loved and cared for. I’m still opening up, but I know that with the right person, I’ll continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a gentle, quiet companion to spoil with love, patience, and warm naps, I just might be the perfect match for you! I will also have to be neutered and have an appointment set for early April. If you are interested in meeting Dewy apply to adopt him at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $195 Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 10 or older. ##2319424##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Timmy's adoption donation is $500 and he is being fostered in central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, started on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention. Timmy came into rescue when his family couldn't care for him any longer, and he ended up at the local shelter in Tennessee. A Good Sam was able to get him moved to a rescue for vision-impaired dogs, where his damaged eyes were removed. They then chose OFP to get this guy a forever home. Timmy is sweet, loving, very happy dog! He is able to get around by moving slowly, and he has excellent smell and hearing. He loves chewy and squeaky toys, walks great on a leash, playing with smaller dogs. Timmy would benefit from a home where someone is there often, and can walk with and engage him in play. He has made outstanding progress with housetraining, but does best when kept on a schedule. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.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. December 15, 2024, 6:18 pm

Adopting a Kyi Leo

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Kyi Leo - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The easiest way to adopt a Kyi Leo is through a rescue that specializes in Kyi-Leos. A great place to start is by creating a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Kyi-Leos in your area.

You can adopt a Kyi-Leo at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Kyi-Leo is around $100 to $500, which covers the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption and often includes initial veterinary care, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and sometimes microchipping. In contrast, buying a Kyi-Leos from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. A Kyi-Leo puppy usually costs anywhere from $800 to $1,500.

Kyi Leo fun facts

Fun Facts:

The name Kyi Leo comes from its double heritage: Kyi is the Tibetan word for "dog," and Leo is the Latin word for "dog," thus honoring both native languages of the parent breeds.

The Kyi Leo looks very similar to the Shih-Tzu, apart from their non-bulging eyes and longer snout.

While no dog is truly "hypoallergenic," this dog is as close as you can get, and great for allergy sufferers!
