Stitch was a delight at Riverview Pointe yesterday. He was quiet in nature and so enjoyed the head, neck, and back scratches. He also demonstrated how teachable he is, even at his young age, sitting on command!

🐾 Meet This Sweet Boy, Jojo!🐾

This adorable 5-month-old hound/cattle dog mix is the definition of a happy little lovebug! ❤️

He’s currently enjoying life in a foster home and showing everyone just how wonderful he is. He’s a total velcro dog who wants to be wherever his people are—and if there’s a lap available, you can bet he’ll be in it! 🥰

He loves other dogs, is incredibly snuggly, and has a happy, affectionate personality that makes him hard not to fall in love with.

At just 5 months old, he’s still a puppy who will need continued training, patience, and guidance as he grows, but he’s off to a wonderful start in foster care.

If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, dog-friendly puppy who will happily be your shadow and cuddle buddy, this sweet boy may be your perfect match! 🐶❤️

Good with kids * Good with dogs

Currently in foster. Please text 440-376-7995 (Kristen) to set up a meet and greet.

Sharing from Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter. Resource guide for pet owners for low-cost veterinary resources and pet care assistance to help you in times of need.
(Please note, their guide does not have current days for Berea ARF's pet food pantry and we have notified CCAS).

People adopt pets out of a need for companionship and an overwhelming sense of compassion. They have the very best of intentions. High quality food, the cutest of toys & check-ups every year. But the best laid plans can run into roadblocks. And quickly.
Household bills start to pile up, your dog just ate a corn cob and you're not sure how your going to pay your grocery bills much less get your dog fed and to a vet. That's not bad pet ownership - that's life.
But we want to help you! We have compiled a resource guide with everything we could think of so you don't have to make a decision to rehome or surrender your pet or feed your family. (And your pet doesn't want that either). https://animalshelter.cuyahogacounty.gov/services/veterinary-resources

ARF is having an onsite Mini Fall Pet Supplies Sale sale during the November 1st nail clinic.

Due to the elimination of an off-site storage facility and abundance of some items, we’re having a pet supply overstock sale. While we appreciate all items donated throughout the year, certain items like retractable leashes, food bowls, collars, may not be used by ARF dogs and cats. Our overstock sale will benefit the animals of ARF while providing some low-cost supplies to the pets in our community. We hope to see you there!

Lulu is hoping for a cat pal in her new home.

Meet a gentle longhaired soul in search of a forever hero. Lulu is a tender female who came to us in mid-November after being found as a stray by a kind Good Samaritan. Unfortunately, her rescuer couldn’t keep her due to having other pets and limited space. Lulu’s journey to safety didn’t end there and she was brought to ARF. She’s now looking for a special someone to help her feel truly at home.

Lulu’s soft, luxurious coat will need regular brushing to stay tangle-free. This will be a perfect opportunity for bonding and quiet moments together. She is very shy and easily frightened, so she needs an adopter willing to go slow, watch her body language and follow her lead as she learns to trust again. .

When Lulu first arrived, she hid and slept in her litter box, crouched down, fearful of everything around her. She’s made some progress and now feels a bit safer sleeping just behind it.

Our specially trained TLC volunteers have been working with Lulu to show her that people can be gentle and loving. They have also been working on proving to her that there is safety and comfort in human companionship. She will thrive in a quiet home without loud noises or too much activity and with an adopter who is patient, confident and willing to be her steady guide. We think Lulu will do best in a home with another cat friendly cat to help give her confidence.

We don’t know what hardships Lulu faced while fending for herself on the streets. But one thing is clear, she is ready for a forever hero who will offer her love, patience and security. Lulu may be shy now, but with the right person, her heart will open and she will learn that a gentle hand can bring warmth, safety and comfort to a life that has known so little of it. Could you be the hero Lulu has been waiting for?

Lulu is available for adoption through our Foster to Adopt Program. This means that Lulu can go home with the right person as a foster on a trial basis for a pre-determined length of time to see if she is in fact the perfect fit for the adopter's home. At the end of the trial period, if both parties agree, Lulu's temporary foster placement would transition officially into her adoptive home. Please email her adoption consultant at [email protected] to set up a meet and greet or to ask for further details.

The shelter is open Tuesdays through Fridays 3:30-6:30pm AND Saturdays & Sundays 1pm-4pm. No appointments are needed during those times. If you are not available during those times, special arrangements for a meet and greet may be able to be arranged by emailing [email protected]. Thank you for considering the adoption of a shelter animal in need!
