Additional adoption info

The first step in our process is to submit an online application at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/forms to get the process started. We do NOT schedule meet and greets prior to an application being approved.

Please read the dog's complete bio on our website at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/animals/list and read over our adoption guidelines as most of your questions can be answered there.

Adoption fees are based on the age of the dog and not the vet fees incurred to be fair to older dogs and give them a better chance at adoption. All dogs are spayed and neutered prior to adoption and receive at least their first round of vaccines, including rabies, distemper/parvo and bordetella. We also microchip all of our dogs. They are also heartworm tested and on prevention. We do not adopt on a first-come, first served basis but do attempt to match the dog to the family that best suits the dog. We require personal references, landlord (if applicable), and vet reference.
