Ohio Fuzzy Pawz Shih Tzu Rescue We rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home Shih Tzu and other small breed dogs into permanent adoptive homes. We do adopt outside Ohio, but we do not ship our dogs.

Adopters must be prepared to come to Ohio to finalize the adoption. Our dogs come from a variety of situations. High kill shelters, owner turn-ins, and cast-offs from puppy mills. We get their medical needs assessed and treated. Our foster homes then work with the dogs to get them placed in a home that best meets their needs. We do not operate a shelter. All of our dogs are housed in foster homes

as part of a family environment. Our foster homes perform a critical function of rehabilitating their foster dogs so that they are adoptable.

UPDATE ON SADIE — PLEASE READ & SHARE
MISSING CINCINNATI, OHIO (45240)

Ohio Fuzzy Pawz has partnered with a professional trapper and Lost Pet Recovery team to assist with Sadie’s search efforts. At this time, we are shifting from an active chase/search approach to a strategic recovery plan specifically designed for frightened, flight-risk dogs.

While we know many people are concerned, we do want to emphasize that we remain cautiously optimistic. Dogs in situations like this — especially puppy mill survivors and fearful dogs — often go into survival mode and can stay hidden for extended periods of time, particularly near wooded areas, creek beds, and brush lines. This behavior is very common and does not mean all hope is lost.
Sadie was last seen in the Ridgevale Drive (45240) area of Cincinnati near the creek/wooded section. She is wearing a collar with Ohio Fuzzy Pawz contact information and a pale blue/white camo hoodie.

IMPORTANT:
• Please do NOT chase, call out loudly, or approach her quickly if spotted.
• Do NOT post sightings publicly in comments.
• If seen, quietly note the exact location, direction of travel, and time.
• Immediately contact Kim at (513) 377-1777 so the recovery team can follow the proper recovery procedure.

Well-meaning attempts to catch frightened dogs can unintentionally push them farther from the area and make recovery more difficult. Our goal now is to keep Sadie calm, localized, and give the recovery team the best possible chance to bring her home safely.

We are also asking nearby residents to:
• Check garages, sheds, under decks, & crawl. spaces
• Review security camera footage
• Leave food sources undisturbed if you notice repeated activity

Thank you to everyone who has searched, shared posts, distributed flyers, and supported Sadie’s family during this incredibly difficult time. We know how deeply she is loved, and we are committed to doing everything we can to get this little girl safely back home.

Comments on the original posting have been turned off to help avoid confusion and ensure all sightings and information are directed to the recovery team as efficiently as possible.

🐾 NOT EVERY DOG IS AS LUCKY AS YOURS… BUT YOU CAN HELP CHANGE THAT 🐾

Every single day, we take in dogs who have never known love, proper medical care, or even the simple comfort of a safe home. And while we work tirelessly to give them that second chance…we can’t do it alone.

That’s where the Ohio Pet Fund comes in. 💙

When you purchase a $25 Ohio Pet License Plate or donate through the Ohio Pet Fund, you are directly helping rescues like Ohio Fuzzy Pawz provide:
✔️ Spay & neuter surgeries
✔️ Critical medical care
✔️ Second chances for dogs who need it most

👉 This is funding we rely on every single year to continue our work.

It’s simple. It’s impactful. And it truly saves lives.

Or consider purchasing a pet-friendly license plate for your vehicle!

Every plate. Every dollar. Every share.
👉 Makes a difference for a dog still waiting.

Because every dog deserves a home. ❤️
