Henlo! I is Bandit, but my foster mum and sisters and daddy-o call me Bandido sometimes. I such a spaz, I make my hoomans laugh all the time. When you walkees me, I all of a sudden drop and wiggle wiggle wiggle on my backsies on the grass. Makes my hoomans giggle. Then I loves licksies. I climbs on you and tries to licks your face. If you tries to pull your face away, I climbs higher and lick lick lick lick furever and ever. I get wittle anxious when my brudder is away from me sumtimes. I wait at door until he comes back. But me no cry, me a big boi. Except when you puts me in crate all night, then I cry. I like to sleeps with hoomans but I licks licks licks myself all night too so my hoomans gots to be sleepers like logs. I like long walks so much because I pees and poops a lot. I no poops and pees in house if we go out often, but sometimes at night, I can't hold my pee and I go in my belly band. I's a good boi, my foster family says. I sleeps all day.

You's have lots of fun wid me!! But also I lazy. I energy, I lazy.

Hi! I'm Kristine, Bandit's foster mum. Thought I'd pop in some words of my own about Bandit. He is such a joy to be with and makes all of us laugh with his antics. Sometimes he will just drop on his back in the house and raise his butt in the air and squirm around. He's a little ham and has this adorable, endearing face. He isn't great in a crate - meaning he will bark when you put him in there at night, but he's learning to like it. He fills our heart so much and his furever family will definitely fall fast in love with this little one. He and his brother (Coco) are so behaved. They call when you come and are not mischievous. They will bark at other dogs or when the doorbell rings but they're pretty much quiet the rest of the day. They know how to climb stairs and will knock to be let in the room. They are an adorable pair who will do well with people who can play with them a little. They're not highly energetic but Bandit does like to play a bit.

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.
