You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Olivia’s adoption donation is $500 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. She has also had a dental cleaning. Olivia requires a home with a companion dog of similar size/energy and a secure, physically fenced yard. Olivia is a mill mom who is just the sweetest girl. She is a little shy but once she warms up to you, she will be your best friend! She loves her person but also loves to be alone and sleep on her foster mom’s bed. She is LOVES treats and will eat all her foster sisters treats if she could. She likes toys and loves to bring them to bed with her. She will need a patient home as she is working on mastering the art of potty training. She is still shy of the “outside world’ so leash walking is a little scary. Olivia definitely needs to have a fur-sibling of similar size and energy to learn all the dog things from. She is such a sweet girl and just wants to be loved!

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. November 19, 2024, 7:49 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Chancey's adoption donation is $350 and he is being fostered in Mansfield, Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and on prevention, as well as flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning with some extractions but has recovered well. Chancey came into rescue through no fault of his own when his owner was no longer able to care for him. He’s a mature boy that loves food (including fruits & vegetables), riding in the car, his person, porch sitting and cuddling. Chancey does fairly well on housetraining in his foster home and should continue to do so if kept on a schedule. He prefers to sleep in your bed, but will sleep elsewhere. Chancey vocalizes when he wants something as well as when he doesn't like something. Due to the volume of Chancey’s sass, he is not a candidate for apartment living. He loves attention from people and he would love a quiet home with no children under the age of 10-12. He currently lives with another low energy dog but has very little interaction. Chancey would do well as an only dog. He is on medications for arthritis pain. It is difficult for Chancey to climb stairs due to the arthritis. A ranch style home would be ideal for him.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.

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.

He has also had a dental cleaning. Hayes came into rescue from a puppy mill with the typical mill behaviors: Afraid of people, especially men, panicked at sudden sounds or movements, especially in his direction. Today, he tends to run towards people, plays with toys, looks out the windows, the patio and the screened porch, and likes to be chased. He likes to carry his toys around with him, and so he will help with the laundry if you drop any clothes on the floor! He has also turned into quite the power walker, and enjoys walks, setting a brisk pace, and will do his business. Housetraining is most successful when he is kept on a schedule. He will need a fenced yard. He also may need medicated baths to limit yeast growth. The perfect home for Hayes will have patient humans, and a companion dog who is easy-going, will take him on walks, and make sure he has lots of toys. He has come so far. Does your pack have room for this little guy? He sure hopes so!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.

Hi, I’ve just recently arrived after HSDC helped rescue me from a local puppy mill who discarded me. I’m finally experiencing so many firsts like being petted, hugged and loved! I’m looking for a patient adopter to help me decompress from the mill and learn what it’s like to finally get to be a dog. How did I get here? Ohio ranks second in the nation for puppy mills, with documented violations including poor living conditions and lack of medical care for dogs. The Humane Society of the United States has identified 16 of the worst puppy mills in Ohio, where dogs suffer both physically and mentally. Recent news stories are highlighting the urgent need for industry reform, but we’re not there yet. Advocacy for better conditions and responsible breeding practices is crucial to address this ongoing issue. If you’re interested in meeting me, please reach out to HSDC!

ABOUT ME… Hi, I’m Rubie Grace! I came from a place called a puppy mill, but now I’m in a foster home, and it’s amazing! I have dog and cat siblings (even a bird!), and I’m learning how to be a real dog. I love my cozy bed, toys, and TREATS! I’ll “sit pretty” for them, and I even get the zoomies when Dad makes spaghetti—it’s so yummy! I AM GREAT WITH... Other dogs—it’s super important to me to live in a home with another dog! Kids—they give me treats and cuddles! Cats—they smell funny, but I don’t mind them. Birds(!?)—my foster family has one of those—I’m still figuring that one out! I AM STILL WORKING ON... Potty training (I use potty pads if needed). Leash training—it’s a little scary, but I’m trying! Feeling safe in my crate—I settle with time. I AM NOT GOOD WITH... Loud noises and sudden movements still scare me, but my foster family helps me feel safe! I REQUIRE... A fenced yard (this is a must!). Another dog in the home. A patient family to help me feel safe and love me. I’ve come so far and have lots of love to give! Could you be my forever family? **All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. Booster shots are included in the adoption fee and will be performed at our clinic, or the adopter can use their own vet at their expense. Adopters must reside within 2 hours of Columbus, OH. No transportation assistance is available.**

Adopting a Silky Terrier

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

You can adopt a Silky Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Silky Terrier is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Silky Terriers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800 to $3,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Silky Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in the breed. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Silky Terriers in your area.

Silky Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

DNA evidence confirms that several breeds are involved in the Silky Terrier's lineage, among them Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and the Tasmanian Broken-coated Terrier.

Silky Terriers are often mistaken for large Yorkies.

In the early 1900s, immigrants from the UK would bring their Yorkshire Terriers with them to their new home in Australia and the Silky Terrier originated from cross-breeding with the local Australian terriers.
