Ohio Fuzzy Pawz Shih Tzu Rescue, Inc.

We rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Shih Tzu and other toy breed dogs from a variety of situations. We pull from a number of shelters in and around Ohio; we take in breeder releases from commercial breeding facilities and owner surrenders as space permits. We do this so that hopefully we can reduce the number of Shih Tzu and other breeds euthanized in shelters due to space and place all of our dogs in loving permanent homes.

Meet Onyx-ARR

Onyx's adoption donation is $475 and she is being fostered in Cincinnati, Ohio. She 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.  She has also had a dental cleaning. Onyx requires a secure fenced yard and a companion dog of similar size and energy.  Onyx came into rescue after being release from a puppy mill breeder. This mama has been through a lot in her short five years, however with her newfound freedom she is becoming a fun, playful very sweet girl.  She does great on car rides, loves to play with toys and cuddling on the couch with her human. She is still learning that great things come from humans and is starting to accept treats from humans. She does well with walking on a leash but does get a little skittish with certain movements & sounds so an experienced dog owner is a must.  She does well with house training if kept on a schedule. Oynx will need a companion dog of similar size and energy to continue learning how to be a “normal” dog. She will also need a secure fenced yard. Onyx loves to follow other dogs around and is slowly starting to play with them. Onyx's perfect home would be with a family that can provide patience, daily exercise, and plenty of love and toys!

Adoption Process
Applicant submits an online (or paper) application. We thoroughly check references including personal, vet, and groomer--landlord if applicable. Once references check out, we then conduct a home visit to ensure home and family would best suit the dog. We do not adopt on a first come, first served basis--we go with the home that is the best fit for the dog.
