Meet Noella — a beautiful little Shih Tzu with a gentle spirit and so much love to give. After spending part of her life as a puppy mill momma, this sweet girl is ready for the chance to finally enjoy the life she deserves: a home filled with patience, kindness, and the freedom to simply be cherished.
Noella loves her people and truly wants to please. She is crate trained, does well with potty habits when given regular reminders, and especially enjoys having access to doggie doors. She is an intelligent girl who learns quickly and continues to gain confidence as she settles into home life. One of her favorite parts of the day is mealtime, and she never misses an opportunity to show a little enthusiasm when food is involved.
She is a quiet, easygoing companion who rarely barks, usually only joining in when the other dogs do. Noella would love a home with a canine companion, as she enjoys having another dog nearby and benefits from that comfort and encouragement. While she has not quite figured out toys yet, that may come with time as she continues learning all the simple joys of being a dog.
Noella can be cautious with new people at first, but once she feels safe, her sweet nature shines through. She rides well in the car, has basic manners, and has an even temperament that makes her a lovely fit for many home environments. Because of her gentle nature, older considerate children would be the best match.
Most of all, Noella deserves a family willing to give her the time and reassurance to continue blossoming — and in return, she is ready to reward that love with quiet companionship and a loyal heart.
Noella's adoption donation is $500, and she is being fostered in North Central Ohio. She is fully vetted and ready for her forever home — she has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccines, including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. Noella has tested negative for heartworm and has been started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and she has also had a dental cleaning.

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.
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.
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.
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.
