Pawsitive Ohio wants to help create a brighter future for some of the most overlooked adoptables–our pets dressed in their finest black coats. Schedule your free spay/netuer surgery through the Black Coats. Bright Futures. promotion with AlterClinic Animal Care.

Despite their equally loving and loyal nature, black dogs and cats have a lower chance of being adopted. It’s a tragic fact that they tend to stay in shelters longer and are more likely to be euthanized due to shelter overcrowding than animals of other colors. We'd like to introduce you to some beautiful black pets in need of a home, meet Autumn.

Autumn is available for adoption through Maggie's Mission; She is a bundle of joy with a heart full of love and a dash of mischief! Autumn gets along wonderfully with cats and shows no signs of food or toy aggression. We do feel that she would do best in a home with no other dogs.

Please help! We only have ONE open cage at the Stark County Sheriff’s Office – Dog Warden Division.

Our staff and volunteers pour their hearts into caring for every dog who comes through our doors. But what these dogs need most—what truly changes their lives—is a loving home.

If you’ve ever thought about adopting, now is the time. Come meet our wonderful dogs. Bring your family. You just might find your new best friend! 🐶❤️

🚨Vanna needs an adopter or foster home ASAP 🚨

Vanna is ready to Gogh! Vanna (fka Salt) originally came to Stark County Dog Warden as a puppy in August of last year with her sister. She was chosen to participate in classes for Tri-C students to practice on and after the program, dogs are available to be adopted. Due to her shyness, no one chose her. 😔 She ended up back at the shelter when Kermit’s Kritters stepped in to pull her into their rescue. ❤️

Now Vanna needs a home. She is considered special needs as she has a birth defect that affects her ear. Due to this defect, she tends to spin but it isn’t causing other issues. She doesn’t seem to want to fully potty train so she’s going to be best for someone home most of the time. 😆 She doesn’t like chaos of kids so will need a quiet, child-free home. She does, however, enjoy the company of the other dogs in her foster home. We know she may be tough to place but she is cute as a button and we’re calling her a Teacup Irish Wolfhound. 😂 She is about 1 year old now and 33 pounds. She absolutely loves tennis balls 🎾

If you can foster or are interested in adopting Vanna, please contact Kermit’s Kritters ASAP.

The Shelter Pet Studio is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit run by volunteers, independent from the shelters we assist. SPS writes bios based on our experience with a pet and are not making guarantees. We are not involved in adoption processes. To inquire, contact Kermit’s Kritters for more information or to start the adoption process.
