My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say hello to Charles!

He is a 3 year old German Shepherd who weighs 88 pounds. He is an energetic and playful pup who can be shy when meeting new people and often takes some time to adjust to new people, but once he knows you he is a constant companion. Charles loves going on his daily walks and is eager to go out and explore the world. He can be selective with his canine friends, so he would need a slow introduction to new dogs to see if they'd be a good fit. Due to his high energy, if there are children in his forever home they need to be ages 13 and older, but he would show potential with younger visiting children.

if Charles looks like the pup for you, give us a call at 330-487-0333 ext 226 to learn more about him and schedule a time to come in and meet!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptable animals are up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, de-flea and microchipped before adoptions are finalized. All dogs over six months of age receive a temperament assessment by our Certified Professional Dog Trainer to ensure appropriate placement. Also, many animals in our care receive basic obedience training to improve manners and increase adoptability.

We are currently doing adoptions by appointment only. Please contact us by phone at (234) 212-9843 or email at adoptions@summithumane.org, and an adoption counselor will return your message. They will review our adoption process, answer any questions, and tell you more about the animals currently available for adoption at our shelter and in our foster program. If we have a match for you and your family, an appointment will be scheduled to meet the animal.

Additional questions can be directed to our adoption team at (234) 212-9843.
