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 Colby - CC

Colby’s adoption donation is $475 and he is being fostered in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.  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. Colby requires a home with a companion dog of similar size/energy and a secure, physically fenced yard. Now introducing Colby!  Colby is a puppy mill survivor who is very busy learning to be a happy, playful dog.  He is currently living in a home with three other dogs and he is thriving.  He is timid when you first approach but it is easy to earn his trust.  Colby loves playing with toys and hopping around.  He even smiles when he gets excited.  When he tires out he'd love nothing more than to fall asleep in your lap.  He does very well in the car.  He was terrified of a leash at first but he no longer panics when the leash is put on.  He does do very well when walking in a pack.  Walking alone is a work in progress.  He is a wonderfully spirited dog who will undoubtably bring joy in the home and a smile to your face.  Colby loves his people and would greatly benefit from another dog in the home to help him with his cues. Colby needs a home/person who will be actively engaged in helping him learn how to be a dog.

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.
