If you’re looking for a fun-loving little sidekick who brings smiles, laughter, and endless charm, Sloane may just be your perfect match! This adorable 5-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix has blossomed beautifully in rescue and is now ready to find a forever family of her own. Sloane came to us from a hoarding situation alongside several other dogs, but despite her past, she has embraced the good life with enthusiasm. She has discovered how wonderful it is to simply be a dog — playing with toys, exploring the outdoors, soaking up attention, and showing off her goofy, adventurous personality. Watching her confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding, and now she’s ready for the next chapter of her journey. This sweet girl is happiest when she has a toy nearby and a canine companion to share life with. Sloane absolutely needs another friendly, playful dog in her forever home to help continue building her confidence and to give her the companionship she thrives on. She also does well with cats and enjoys being part of the action around her. Sloane would love a home that appreciates her playful spirit and gives her opportunities to enjoy the outdoors safely. A securely fenced yard is required for this adventurous little lady, as she truly enjoys exploring, playing, and staying active outside. She would do best in a home that can match her moderate activity level and continue engaging both her playful and affectionate sides. She does well when kept on a consistent schedule and continues to thrive with routine and encouragement. Like many dogs adjusting to a new home, she will need patience and understanding as she transitions into her forever family. Sloane’s ideal home will enjoy an active, interactive lifestyle with their dogs and embrace her joyful personality, silly antics, and love of toys. She is looking for a family ready to include her in daily activities, playtime, companionship, and adventures with her canine buddy by her side. Sloane’s adoption donation is $500. She is being fostered in Central Ohio and is spayed, microchipped, current on rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella, and bivalent canine influenza vaccines, heartworm negative, and current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention.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.
