Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dagwood has come a long way since arriving at our shelter in October. When he first came in, he was underweight, battling chronic skin issues, ear infections, and had cloudy eyes—but thanks to our dedicated medical team and the power of medicated baths, biopsies, and a limited-ingredient diet, he’s making huge strides in his recovery! While medical care has been essential, love and attention from volunteers and shelter friends have also helped Dagwood bloom. Now, he’s ready for the next step in his journey—a forever home!
What Dagwood Needs in a Home: - A social, similarly sized resident dog—this is a must! Dagwood thrives with other dogs and will do best with a confident, friendly companion. - A patient adopter—he’s shy with new people and may need a few visits to form a bond before heading to your home. - No kids—due to his nervousness with new people, an adult-only home is best or one with older children (12+)
What We’ve Learned from his stay in foster: - Fully housebroken - Fit in perfectly with a pack of dogs -Loves to cuddle, play, and run around - Sleeps through the night on a dog bed -Warmed up to a hesitant situation—was initially nervous around a man in the home but slowly built trust and eventually jumped up on the couch for pets!
Dagwood’s ideal forever home will give him the time and support he needs to feel safe, while also helping him continue his healing journey. If you have a social pup who would love a buddy, Dagwood could be the perfect fit! If interested in learning more about Dagwood and the adoption process, please email the shelter foster team at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov today! Please note Dagwood currently resides in a foster home and is not available for same time meet and greets.
