Gazpacho is a 2 year old pit bull mix who's ready to play all day! This sweet boy weighs in at 65 pounds, but he believes every pound of him is a lap dog. He is a very social boy who enjoys soaking up all the attention, accepting all the pets in the world! 🐶

While Gazpacho is incredibly social, he needs someone dedicated to helping him be a well-mannered boy in the future. We've been making progress, but he definitely still has tons of puppy energy that needs to be expelled and worked through. He loves any and all types of toys, and thinks everyone is his best friend after only meeting them once!

Gazpacho is ready to romp around with squeaky toys in a home of his very own. Interested in helping him be the most perfect boy?

📍 Meet him at 752 West Portage Trail, Akron, OH 44313

Meet Durian! This handsome 4-year-old boy is sweet, sensitive, and looking for a patient home where he can feel safe and comfortable.

Durian may take a little time to adjust to new people and surroundings, but with patience and understanding, his sweet personality is sure to shine through.

Durian has no known history with dogs or other cats, so any introductions to resident pets should be done slowly and carefully.

Could Durian could be the perfect addition to your home?

📍 Meet him at 752 West Portage Trail, Akron, OH 44313

Meet Extended Resident Freddy, a handsome 2-year-old tuxedo with serious whisker and eyebrow goals! This sweet guy has been patiently waiting almost a year for a home to call his own. 😿

He can be shy around people at first, so he'll need time and patience as he settles in. But underneath that timid exterior is a gentle soul who truly wants to feel secure and loved.

Already have a resident cat in your house? No problem. Freddy has lived with other cats before and may feel more confident with a calm, friendly feline companion by his side! He would do best in a quiet, predictable home where he can settle in at his own pace.

If you have a soft heart, a peaceful home, and the patience to let a shy cat bloom, Freddy could be your most meaningful match!

Best of all, when you adopt Freddy during our Clear The Shelters event running through August 31, his adoption fee is only $25!

📍 Meet him at 752 West Portage Trail, Akron, OH 44313
