Whether she’s exploring the yard, tossing around her favorite toys (or turning paper into one!), or curled up beside you on the couch, Ziva is happiest when she’s near her people. She absolutely loves attention and isn’t shy about asking for more—if you stop petting her too soon, she’ll gently tap you with her paw as a reminder that she’s not done soaking up the love just yet. Ziva is wonderful with other dogs and truly thrives with a canine companion. She looks to her furry friends for confidence and companionship, and having another dog in the home will help her continue to blossom. While she enjoys spending time outdoors, Ziva would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard, as she’s not a fan of the leash and prefers to explore on her own terms. She’s making great progress with her house training—she uses pee pads but also goes outside regularly when given the opportunity. Like many sensitive souls, Ziva isn’t a fan of thunderstorms and will look to her people for comfort when the skies get loud. In return, she offers unwavering companionship and a gentle, loving presence that makes every day brighter. She has a playful, puppy-like spirit—everything can be a toy!—and keeps life fun and entertaining. She also did wonderfully at the groomer, showing just how adaptable and easygoing she can be. Ziva would do best in a home where: She has at least one canine companion Her people are around often to give her attention and reassurance Early mornings (with a little chatter!) aren’t a dealbreaker â ̃€ï ̧ Ziva is truly a delightful, velvety bundle of joy who’s ready to find her forever family. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will stay close, keep you smiling, and gently remind you when it’s time for more pets—Ziva might just be your perfect match. Ziva’s adoption donation is $500, and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She is fully vetted and ready for her forever home—spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines (rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella), heartworm negative and on prevention, and has also had a dental cleaning.PLEASE NOTE: If you are viewing this biography on a website other than the Ohio Fuzzy Pawz website like Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, or another search engine (the OFP website is www.ohiofuzzypawz.com), 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.
