My story

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

Meet Dory!
The sweet and sensitive female Pit mix weighing 42 lbs. Dory is not just a dog; she's a gentle soul ready to find her forever home.
Dory's timid and sensitive nature adds an extra layer of charm to her delightful personality. While she may be initially reserved, picture the moments of pure joy as Dory gradually warms up, revealing her true and sweet self. She can be picky with her canine friends, so it would need to be a good match. She would do best with a family with children 13 years old or older to share her love with.

If you're ready to open your heart to a sweet and gentle canine companion, call us at 330-487-0333 ext 226 to set up an appointment and meet Dory in person. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make Dory, the conflicted yet lovable dog, a cherished member of your forever family!

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.
