My story

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

Meet Lorado!

He is a 3 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix who weighs 44 pounds. Lorado is a social butterfly who absolutely loves meeting new people. He is a young and energetic pup who loves to run around and play with his ball, go on long walks, and lounge in the sunshine. Lorado is a typical cattle dog who loves to herd and can be quite mouthy at times, so he would do best with an owner that has experience with positive reinforcement training.

He is a little bundle of energy that loves to explore the world around him, but once he`s settled down is a big snuggle bug. Lorado can be reactive with new dogs, so he needs a slow introduction to new dogs to see if they`d make a good match in his forever home. Lorado will need a home without cats. Due to his tendency to get mouthy when he`s excited, he would do best in a home with kids ages 13 and older. He is a handsome pup who will surely bring plenty of spice into your life!

If Lorado looks like the pup for you, stop in today at the Humane Society of Summit County at 752 West Portage Trail, Akron, Ohio.

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.
