Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dodger'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, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning. Dodger came to rescue when his owner could no longer care for him. He likes to be with his person. Dodger loves to play with other dogs but also likes to have some alone time. He is doing great on potty training when kept on schedule. Dodger is learning that we don't need to hurry up and eat our food and water its a learning process. He is a very affectionate little boy that likes to give kisses and be cuddled. Dodger needs a companion animal similar size and energy.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. March 15, 2025, 11:24 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Meet Mr. Billionaire or Billions as all his friends call him. This little Yorkie is quite the adventurer, coming to DASH from Texas on a plane. He is a typical Yorkie, wanting all of the attention, loves to play, go for walks and then ready to snuggle up in your lap for a great nap. He is potty trained, but does wear belly bands while inside to deter his marking. He has worn these since he was small, and he thinks they are just part of his outfits, which he loves to wear. He will go out his foster mom's doggie door, but is still working on using it to come back into the house. He is also crate trained, but is not crated in his foster home and does not tear up anything while alone. Some things we have learned in addition to those great qualities are he prefers women, gets along ok with the other small dogs in his foster home, but really would do best as your one and only pet as he doesn't like to share. He will also do best in a home where there are no young children or grandchildren coming in and out, due to his size. Older children should be fine as long as they are respectful of his space. He is just the sweetest boy who is ready to give all of his love to the right person. This boy is ready to continue on to new adventures with his forever home. * Note: Billions is part of our Foster to Adopt program. Apply now if you are interested in testing how he would acclimate in your home* Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 4, 2025, 5:15 pm

Adopting a Yorkie

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

The cost to adopt Yorkshire Terriers is around $400 to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Yorkshire Terriers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on the coat and show history, they can cost anywhere from $800 to $10,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Yorkie is through a rescue that specializes in Yorkies. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on AdoptaPet.com. The search will show you all the available Yorkies in your area.

Yorkie fun facts

Fun Facts:

Named after the English county where they were created, the Yorkshire Terrier is a mixture of breeds, including the English Black-and-Tan Terrier.

In the early 1800s, Yorkies were used not only as household and cotton mill vermin catchers but also in organized, public rat-catching sporting events.

When the popularity of Miniature and Toy Poodles declined in the 1960s, the Yorkshire Terrier stepped in as the new fashion dog thanks in some part to Audrey Hepburn and her pooch, Mr. Famous, who had a cameo in her film "Funny Face."
