My story

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

Mistletoe does not need the plant to hand out some kisses! This girl has a zest for life and enjoys rough housing with her doggie boyfriends, showing off her zoomies to her human friends and exploring the world. You would never guess how timid and fearful she was when she first arrived to us, she has truly blossomed. If you have a high energy boy pup who needs a friend, look no further. She would also make a great wing woman to get you out and about to adventure! Mistletoe's love for exercise and adventure would make her best placement, with kids 14 and up and no cats, please! Fill your 2024 summer schedule with Mistletoe adventures and you will not be disappointed!
Mistletoe is available for foster, foster to adopt, or outright adoption! Email us at foster@cuyahogacounty.us to learn more about this nugget girl!

Adoption Process

All dogs are adopted on a first come first adopt basis. We will not hold a dog for anyone. We strongly encourage you to stop down and pay us a visit, as we have many more dogs in our care than are listed on the website. You may visit with our dogs during our normal business hours of: Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Sunday from 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.; closed on Monday.

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.
