Adopt a Maltese (long coat)

Maltese (long coat) Dog

Bam Bam the Dog needs a home

Please contact Katie ([email protected]) for more information about this pet.

Bam Bam's adoption donation is $350 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio.  He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention.  He has also had a dental, and he did lose some teeth.



Bam Bam came into rescue through no fault of his own when his owner could no longer keep him or Pebbles.  Bam Bam is an approximately 5 year old Maltese who does well with other dogs his size and children over the age of 10.  Bam Bam does appear to have some hearing loss as a result of untreated ear infections.  He loves to be with his person, so he needs a home where someone is home quite a bit or retired.  Bam Bam does well on housetraining if kept on a schedule.  He is ok with being crated.  Bam Bam has made a lot of progress in rescue.  He is a sweet, happy boy who loves to be on your lap or nearby and would benefit from a home with breed experience.



Bam Bam says:  I like to play with toys, I like to go in the car, I like to go on walks, but best of all, I like you to cuddle with me. Because of my hearing problems, I sleep pretty soundly.  I go to the groomers too without any issues.  I like other dogs my size, but sometimes I don't hear them if they say something to me.  



 



 


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.
