My story

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

In need of a very special adopter. Roberta was brought to the shelter along with her puppies as part of an animal cruelty case. Initially, she was very protective of them and would refuse interactions when they were around. After they were big enough to be separated she has shown some improvement, but she is still very, very scared when interacting with handlers, especially strangers. With staff members she's familiar with, she has started to show some comfort and affection, but she is still going to be a project dog. She is someone who will need a quiet home, where she will have plenty of time to settle in and get used to all of her new people, without the stress of constant strangers.

More about this shelter

The Cleveland Animal Protective League's mission is to foster compassion and end animal suffering. Incorporated in 1913, we are an independent, nonprofit humane society located in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood.

As a 501(c)(3) agency, we are not funded or controlled by any government or national animal welfare organization. Our animal shelter, services, and programs are made available through fundraising, donations, foundation and corporate support, and service fees.

We are committed to 100 percent placement of adoptable animals and envision a time when every friendly, healthy, homeless animal in our community can be cared for until a new family is found.

The Cleveland APL provides shelter to homeless animals relinquished by their guardians, animals that are rescued from abuse or neglect, and stray or abandoned cats.
