Adopt a Shih Tzu / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (long coat)

Shih Tzu / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (long coat) Dog

Prissie the Dog needs a home

Prissie's adoption donation is $200, and she is being fostered in the Central Ohio area.  She is a 10 year old ShihTzu/Poodle mix. She has been microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella and flu vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. Prissie is on a urinary prescription diet to keep a good pH balance in her urine and will require regular vet checks.  Due to her needing regular vet checks, we will require a home with a strong, verifiable veterinary history.


Prissie is a wonderful and sweet companion with precious eyes that share her love (although she can be a little camera shy). She has such a kind and gentle spirit and loves to be with her person and her buddy Rascal. Prissie and Rascal spent most of their life in a single home until their owner passed away this year. After some transitions, they found their way (together) to OFP. Prissie is very attached to Rascal and they will need to be adopted together . Together, they are a dynamic and loving duo. She has excellent housetraining manners and enjoys spending time outside. She loves to greet you when you come home and will run around to show her excitement in hopes you play with her. She enjoys lounging on your lap and cuddling when it is bed time. She does well with grooming. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys playing with them. She walks well on a leash, enjoys going on walks and travels well in the car.


PLEASE NOTE:   If you are viewing this biography on a website other than the Ohio Fuzzy Pawz website, 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.
