My story

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

Meet bright and bubbly Brook! Brook is an active, fun-loving lady with a big heart. She loves spending time with people and having fun together!

Currently staying in a foster home, Brook has been showing her people-oriented and affectionate side. With a little time to decompress from the kennel, she`s shown how loving she can be. She loves climbing into bed and sleeping through the night, or joining you on the couch and resting her head on your lap.

Pretty Brook is also curious, energetic and eager to discover new things. She`s a go-getter and is sure to help you get moving and explore on daily walks and/or runs. She likes the outdoors but only if someone is enjoying it with her - so you can enjoy the fresh air and sun together! She loves to go for runs or long walks through the park. She also has a passion for toys and enjoys having a collection of durable chew toys to work on and would have a blast in her own fenced-in yard. With other dogs in play group, Brook has been playful. She is polite passing them on walks as well, with little reaction to dogs who bark at her. She might enjoy having another dog in her future home to help her learn the ropes, and to be a play mate!

Brook is also a smarty! She knows sit, paw, down, touch, stay, come, and leave it thanks to taking a class at Cold Nose Companions. She also has solid manners in the home: she is housebroken, and listens well to guidance about things in the house. She is working on being comfortable in her crate but does settle down to sleep. She is still working on her excited, jumpy greetings and enjoys rough-housing when she is excited, so she would do best in a home without small children for now, but she is learning and adjusting to the routine more and more everyday.

Miss Brook has a lot of potential to be someone`s active, fun-loving best buddy. She`d love to join you for adventures, play time, and then unwinding on the couch at the end of the day. She is estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs 44 lbs.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

ABOUT US: CITY DOGS is a program of Cleveland Animal Care & Control (CACC). CACC is part of the City of Cleveland’s Department of Public Safety. Most of the dogs we impound are found running stray in the city. Dogs are held for 3-14 days depending on cause for intake while attempts to locate their are owner taken. Photos of all stray dogs are listed on the City of Cleveland Website. After the hold, dogs may be assessed and placed up for adoption, transferred to another facility, or euthanized if deemed to dangerous or too unhealthy to be placed. Our average annual intake is 3,900 dogs.
ADOPTION: The CITY DOGS adoption fee is $61 which includes spay/neuter surgery (if not altered at the time of adoption, you will pick up after surgery), microchip, vaccines, heartworm test, and Cuyahoga County license. Some CITY DOGS may need a foster home with the backing of a rescue if they have a special need to recover from, such as heartworm disease, which is indicated in their profile. If you are interested in a dog with a special need, we can help guide you through the process of working with a rescue.
ABOUT OUR DOGS: All dogs go through a medical and behavior assessment prior to being made available for adoption or foster, however, we cannot make any guarantees regarding behavior, temperament or health of any City Dog. Many of our dogs come in as strays, so we do not know what kind of home environment they were living in (i.e. with kids, other dogs or other cats), nor do we know if they are house trained. Everything we know about them is based on volunteer and staff observations. It is very hard to tell with certainty whether or not a dog will be good with kids, cats or another dog. If you have kids in the home or another dog, we do require that they be present for a meet and greet with the dog you are considering for adoption.
CONSIDERATIONS: Adopting a dog is a lifetime commitment. The cost of food, toys, veterinary care, grooming and other items can easily reach $400 or more per year. You must be prepared for house-training (potty training), and dealing with normal behavior problems such as chewing, barking, digging, etc. Things for you to consider include the financial and emotional commitments required in owning a dog.
HEALTH/VACCINATIONS: Dogs that are adopted directly from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within 14 days of leaving the kennel. All dogs do receive a DHLPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccine (boosters as well if they are with us for more than two weeks), are dewormed once and have a microchip. We recommend that you take a stool sample to your vet for a fecal exam, as many dogs in the kennel environment are exposed to intestinal parasites. We also recommend that your vet performs a second heartworm test in order to verify our test and to prescribe monthly heartworm preventative. Dogs leaving the kennel may have kennel cough which should also be addressed by your veterinarian.

More about this shelter

CITY DOGS Cleveland is a program of The City of Cleveland’s Division of Animal Care and Control (CACC). The CITY DOGS mission is to increase adoptions from the City Kennel by changing the image of the pit bull type dogs who make up the majority of the kennel population, by preparing all adoptable dogs in the kennel for lives in loving homes and by creating as many opportunities as possible for the public to meet and get to know our dogs for the terrific pets they are meant to be. One of the ways to increase opportunities for CITY DOGS finding loving homes is through online networking through various channels.
