Luna's adoption fee is $400 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms, and started on prevention as well as flea prevention. She has also had a dental cleaning with extractions.  Luna requires a home with a companion dog.

Luna came into our rescue from a seizure in Tennessee of over 40 dogs. Luna has had to overcome many hurdles due to the neglect of her previous owner.  Her eyes were so damaged that they both had to be removed to give her the best chance at a long pain-free life.  She has adapted like a champ, but there are some precautions.  While she is not comfortable with stairs, she loves, loves, loves going for a walk (if a little slowly). Her forever home will need to be comfortable carrying her up and down stairs, and gating stairways as she could easily walk off the top step. Luna is a happy, sweet and gentle soul. She thoroughly enjoys some energetic play with a similar sized foster dog. Her ideal forever home would be one where her person is home most of the time, or can take her with them to work. We do prefer that she have a companion dog of similar size to help her navigate and keep her engaged. Luna does well on potty training when kept on a schedule, however she will find and use a pee pad if there is one available. Luna loves to snuggle but she's perfectly content by herself as well. This lil gal is a quiet observer to life. She would make an excellent companion to another dog due to her extremely easy going nature.

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.
