My story

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

Meet Tootsie Pop,

A gentle soul wrapped in a furry coat. At 3 years old, this boy has already charmed his way into the hearts of many with his endearing personality. Despite his imposing size, weighing in at 60lbs, Tootsie Pop is a shy guy when it comes to meeting new people. Tootsie Pop's timid demeanor melts away once he finds comfort in familiar faces and surroundings. Whether he's curled up by the fireplace, exploring the great outdoors, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll, Tootsie Pop's quiet presence brings warmth and joy to those lucky enough to know him. Despite his initial shyness around new people, Tootsie Pop is a social butterfly when it comes to his canine companions. With his endearing charm and wagging tail, Tootsie Pop reminds us that sometimes the best friendships are found on four paws. While Tootsie Pop adores the company of humans, his shy nature makes him better suited for a household with older children over 16 years old to adults only. With patience and understanding, Tootsie Pop will blossom into a devoted companion, offering unconditional love and loyalty to his new family.

If Tootsie Pop sounds like your forever kind of guy give us a call at 330-487-0333 ext.226 to schedule a time to meet this sweet boy.

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.
