Posted Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 175. Hi! My name is Simon, like Simon says... love me! The awesome people at Adopt A Pit pulled me from the shelter right before my time was up and I am soooo grateful for that! I am about a year and a half old and I'm a little shy around new people, because let's face it, the shelter is a super scary place and the people there aren't always so nice. But everyone here at AAP has been really nice to me. They've given me lots of yummy food and great treats. I've even pretty good about bath time (which I guess happens if you go roll in the dirt). My foster mom says I'm a 50lb baby. I'm ok with other dogs but prefer to be there center of attention. My foster mom also says I have a super wiggly butt and have trouble sitting still when I really want a treat. But c'mon, that's really hard! Can you give a super sweet guy like me a second chance? I have lots of love to give! Simon's adoption fee is $175 All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home.

Posted Breed: Shih Tzu / Poodle (unknown type) / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 375. Please contact Jess (jkbowlenyahoo) for more information about this pet. Tito's adoption donation is $375 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, canine influenza, bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention. Tito came into rescue because his family didn't have time for him. He is a 3 year old Shih Tzu - Poodle mix and does very well with other dogs. Tito is very cautious around new people and will need to work on socialization but he is motivated to please his person. Tito will require an experienced, active home with a companion dog to help him continue his progress. We do prefer a home with no children under the age of 8 - 10 and a fenced yard. 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: .ohiofuzzypawz/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 .ohiofuzzypawz/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.

Xavier is a sweet guy who still loves people and kids. Xavier is 5 years old so a great middle age, past the puppy stage but still young enough to go for walks and play.

If Xavier sounds like a good fit to add to your dog patch please apply for him online at rosscountyhumanesociety.

Xavier is heartworm negative. **RCHS does not conduct DNA tests on dogs who enter our facility therefore we are unable to guarantee breed or breed mix.

We do our best to inform adopters about the potential breeds for each dog.
