🍁SEPTEMBER SWEETHEARTS🍂
The Junior Volunteers picked out their favorite dogs and made really cute signs to hang on their kennels to help them get adopted. All three of these sweethearts love people and get along with other dogs in playgroup.
🍁JENNINGS is a cheerful, affectionate young Hound/mix.
🍂 GOLEAN is a sweet, easy going Great Dane/mix.
🍁 JETSKI is a high energy, fun loving Boxer/mix.
Another thing they have in common is they would really like to meet you!

Have you met our happy and handsome puppy, Tucker?! 🐾

Tucker is our 7-month-old playful pup! He loves playing fetch and is an active play pal — with humans and pups equally. In playgroup, he enjoys running around with his friends and sharing his wild puppy spirit with every new pal he meets. Tucker is a joy to be around and it’s impossible not to share in on his zest for fun.

If you’re looking for an active companion who’s ready to grow, learn, and have lots of fun by your side then Tucker is your guy! 💌

💙SATURDAY SWEETHEART💙
My name is Krave and I “KRAVE” attention!! Are you looking for a good boy who will show you all the love and affection you’ll ever need? I spent a very fun day with a volunteer this week. I would have preferred the front seat in the car but…nope. We went to a park and played fetch, at which I’m a pro, and sometimes I even gave it back. I didn’t bark at other dogs, but I kept my eyes on them to make sure my volunteer was safe. At her house, I suspected there was food on the counter so I had to take a look. As soon as she said “Leave it” I did. I sat on her feet, sat on her lap, and pulled her hand over for pets. Other dogs in playgroup at the shelter are okay, but my first love is people!! Please come meet me. I have so much love to give.
💙KRAVE💙the one and a half-year brindle pit mix would really like to share his love with your family.

💙UPDATE! ADOPTED!💙
Guess whose strayhold is up today? Rutabaga, that’s who. If you think his pictures are cute, you should see him in “person”. This little Bulldog mix would love for you to come and meet him this weekend. Can you say no to this face?

🐾❤️FOSTER FRIDAY ❤️ 🐾

Whitney is a sweet and affectionate 4-year-old Pit mix who knows how to have a great time! She loves playing hard with her rowdy friends during our daily playgroup, but right now she’s looking for something a little different: a calm, cozy couch to call her own while she goes through heartworm treatment ❤️. Whitney is heartworm positive, but the shelter will cover the full cost of her treatment—you just need to provide the peaceful, comfortable environment she deserves while she recovers. Once she’s feeling her best, this loving girl will be ready to bring plenty of fun, affection, and joy to her forever home! Email [email protected] today to learn more about the foster process!

🐾JUNIOR VOLUNTEERS🐾
The group celebrated National Dog Day a little early this year with our Disney puppies. Aurora, Prince Charming, Merida, Mulan, and Jasmine got in all the hugs, snuggles, kisses, and belly rubs they could on Sunday. Happily, they have all been adopted! Every day new dogs come into the shelter so keep checking out cuyahogadogs.com so you don’t miss out on your new best friend.
