Meet Dandie – Your Perfect Little Sidekick

Dandie is the kind of dog who makes life sweeter simply by being beside you. He’s an easygoing, affectionate companion who loves spending time with his people—whether that’s relaxing on the couch, riding along on errands, or soaking up the fresh air on a leisurely walk.

This handsome little guy has truly mastered the art of companionship. Dandie is happiest when he’s included in everyday life, and he would love a home where he can be your loyal shadow and favorite cuddle buddy.

Easygoing & Loving:
Dandie has a calm, gentle personality and a wonderfully laid-back nature. He’s content with the simple things—soft blankets, belly rubs, a comfy couch, and quality time with his humans.

A Fun Little Personality:
While he’s mostly a quiet and relaxed boy, Dandie occasionally lets out an adorable bark or playful howl just to keep things entertaining. Those little moments are guaranteed to make you smile.

Adventure Ready:
Dandie absolutely enjoys car rides and would happily tag along for trips to Lowe’s, coffee runs, or any outing where he gets to spend time with you. Crack the window a little so he can sniff the breeze, and he’s in heaven.

House Training:
Dandie does very well when kept on a consistent schedule.

Yard & Walks:
While a fenced yard is preferred for safety, it is not required. Dandie walks nicely on a leash and truly enjoys exploring the world alongside his person.

The Perfect Home:
Dandie would thrive in a home looking for a devoted, low-maintenance companion who simply wants to love and be loved. He’s the perfect match for someone wanting a loyal best friend to share cozy evenings, daily routines, and life’s little adventures.

Dandie was returned to rescue through no fault of his own after his previous owner’s living situation changed. He has so much love left to give and is ready to begin his next chapter with a family who will cherish him forever.

If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion with a heart full of love, Dandie may just be your perfect match.

Dandie’s adoption donation is $350. He is being fostered in Central Ohio and is neutered, microchipped, and current on rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella, and bivalent canine influenza vaccines. He has tested heartworm negative and is on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Dandie has also had a recent dental cleaning completed.

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.
