My story

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

Our handsome hunk-Niko is waiting to meet you!! Niko has been with us a long time and was lucky enough to score a foster home to search for his furevers at. Match making is hard work, he prefers to pose on a couch vs in his kennel here. His foster parents and siblings adore him, we get nothing but great reports. Niko is extremely dog social with both female and male dogs. He bounces back and forth from a rough player to a gentle mosier. Niko does not know the word stranger, as he absolutely adores every human in his path! He is housebroken, crate trained, knows basic commands and how to share his things with his dog siblings.

Adoption Process

All dogs are adopted on a first come first adopt basis. We will not hold a dog for anyone.

Adoption Questionnaire

Before you can spend time with a dog, there is a brief questionnaire that you will need to fill out. Our staff will review these questions with you in order to help you decide which dog is the right fit for you, your family, and your lifestyle. This information is confidential and will be used only to assist our staff in determining the best possible placement. Please spend the time necessary to make the best possible decision for you AND the dog you may adopt.

Adoption Fees
The cost to adopt a dog is $95, $170 for a puppy. This includes:

DHLP, Parvo Vaccination, Rabies Vaccination and Bordatella
Heartworm test for age appropriate dogs
Spay/Neuter surgery
Dog license
Microchip

Although dogs receive initial vaccinations from us, please make an appointment to see your veterinarian within ten to 14 days after you take your new dog home for a complete and thorough physical examination, and to continue with vaccinations as necessary.

Where Our Dogs Come From

Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter is a temporary home for dogs that are found on the streets by the county dog wardens. Dogs are held for 72 hours in order for the owner to claim them. After the holding period, unclaimed dogs may be available for adoption.
