Print an adoption flyer for Milo - OS!
Milo’s adoption donation is $600 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza and Bordetella vaccines, started on heart prevention, as well as flea/tick prevention. Milo would be best in a home with a companion dog of similar size/energy. Meet Milo – The Sweetest Little Explorer! Say hello to Milo, a bundle of joy with a heart full of love and a spirit that lights up every room! This adorable little pup may be blind, but don’t let that fool you—he’s confident, playful, and ready to take on the world with you by his side. Milo is the definition of a social butterfly—he adores other dogs, gets along great with cats, and has been sweet and gentle with kids over 8. His favorite things in life? Chew toys, romping around at doggy daycare, going for walks, and curling up for a good snuggle with his humans and furry friends. His foster sibling, Stevie, is his cuddle buddy, and he’d love a home with a canine friend to share adventures (and naps)! He has a mid-to-high energy level and would thrive in a home that understands his special needs and celebrates his abilities. While a fenced yard would be a bonus, it’s not required—he just needs a safe space and a loving hand to guide him. Milo is still working on his house training (he spins in fast circles when he needs to go out), and he's making great progress! He’s not a fan of having his face hair brushed, but with all the love he gives, that’s a small price to pay for such a delightful companion. His eating routine is simple—breakfast at 7 am, dinner at 7 pm, and of course, some treats in between to keep that tail wagging! Milo is looking for a forever family who will embrace his unique perspective and help him navigate life with patience, care, and lots of cuddles. If you’re ready to fall head over heels, Milo is ready to be your little shadow and best friend. Let Milo’s next big adventure begin—with you!

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.
