My story

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

Patience is the best squishy face to see in the morning! She is nothing but love, compacted into a tall and derpy body. She never stops smiling for the world to see and loves to make friends with everyone she encounters. Patience is the definition of sweetness! This super model does well in our playgroups with male dogs, she's not a fan of girl pups that try to be more of a princess than she is! After arriving to us very, very underweight-she has blossomed into one of the best dogs! Patience is seeking a forever home with children 10 & up, no cats but will happily hangout with some canine boyfriends.
Patience is available for foster, foster to adopt, or an outright adoption! Email us at foster@cuyahogacounty.us today to learn more about the sweet souled dog.

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.

Remember that before adopting, you must:

Have identification showing your current address
Have landlord permission to own a dog if you are a tenant
Meet and greet with any resident dogs or children 9 and under

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.
