Story
🐶Basic Information 5 Years Old Female - Spayed - Fully Vaccinated Heartworm, Flea, and Tick Treated Brown and White with Brown Speckled Toes 🧬DNA Scans Australian Kelpie Cattle Dog Chihuahua Jack Russel Terrier Note: These are never 100% accurate. This is what came up consistently. ‼️SEEKING FOSTER Note: Darla would do best in a foster home rather than base to help work on a healthy dental routine. Otherwise, this doesn't prevent her from adoption. Foster to Adopt Preferred for Adoption Inquiries 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Hello, my name is Darla, and I just arrived at the rescue on 7/14. They're still getting to know me, but I was an amazing traveling passenger on my road trip here. Everyone loved me, and I even got along with the kids. I'm sweet but shy. I might have a harder time adjusting to a new home at first for the first few days. I'm not bonded with my sibling, Pango. When you get to know me, you'll learn I love kisses and I want to be your best friend. I love a good adventure, however, I'm flexible and don't mind a good night in too! As long as you promise to take me for a walk, I'll still love you. I do get nervous and have a bit of situational anxiety, but I do well when you go to work or leave the home. I might howl for you, then settle down. https://trello.com/b/QwiaOAsB/animal-rescues

Story
You may have heard of CITY DOG Suzy. She is a bit of a celebrity around the Cleveland area-she's been on the news multiple times, graced the cover of Cleveland Magazine and much more. You can check out all her shenanigans on her IG & FB profiles-Just look up CITY DOG Suzy. She actually came into the kennel over 3 years ago. When she first arrived, Suzy had an infected mass which we sent her to the vet to have removed. Unfortunately, the biopsy revealed that Suzy had mammary cancer. She was only expected to live 3-6 months, so a CITY DOGS Volunteer took her home as a hospice foster. Flash forward 3+ years and now it is time to find Suzy her forever home! She is thriving, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon after beating cancer. She is healthy and active. After multiple vet checks, no recurrence or symptoms of her cancer have come back. Suzy LOVES people of all ages. She has never met a person she didn't love and enjoys showering them with kisses. But she would need to be the only pet in the home, so no other dogs, cats or small animals for her. She knows sit & paw and takes treats nicely. She has energy to take on adventures but also does awesome in a home snuggling up on the couch with you. When at home she mostly enjoys looking out the window or sunning herself in the backyard. She is 100% housebroken & crate trained, but doesn't need to be crated if you prefer not to. In the right environment would also do great as a condo/apartment dog. She also loves going for car rides and feeling the wind through her ears--HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE EARS? They are her signature feature. Suzy is on the petite side, just under 50lbs and is around 7-8 years old. If you would like to find out more about Suzy or are interested in meeting her, please complete the Meet & Greet form on www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog

Story
Hi, my name is Billy. I'm a really shy little guy and I was really scared at the kennel. I'm living in a foster home now and I'm learning to be much more brave. There's other dogs in my foster home that are really cool, and they've been showing me how to play. I'm really getting the hang of it and would love to live with other dogs in my forever home. I'm gaining confidence every day, but can still get scared sometimes. If you'd like to meet me, email my foster dad at david.ager@gmail.com

Story
Smore is ready to be your daily dose of caffeine as well as laughter. At just around a year or two old, Smore is pure zany, gleeful puppy energy. She has perfected the art of the zoomies and takes delight in toys and play time. Fun-loving Smore would do well in an active household where she can join in on plenty of playtime and adventures. With other dogs, Smore has been social and playful so far, though she would do best with another dog who doesn't mind her more rowdy, energetic play style. Currently in a foster home, Smore has been doing well! This playful, peppy pup would benefit from regular exercise and some basic training to get used to her new routine, but luckily she is treat-motivated and eager to please her people and has tons of potential. If you want a loving dog to grow with you, Smore could be a good fit! She weighs around 47lbs.Email her foster at david.ager@gmail.com to set up a meet!

Story
Darling Davis is here to grace your screen with his precious smile! Davis has been described in many positive ways - happy, attentive, sweet, easy - but one word keeps popping up: cuddly! Davis loves being close to people, and will clamber across laps to maximize snuggles. He'll lean close for pets and explodes with wiggles when the butt scratches start. Davis is a smart, well-rounded boy who already knows how to sit, walks decently on leash and seems housebroken. Davis has been playful and social with other dogs in play group so far. He's estimated to be around 3 years old and weighs 51 lbs. Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to meet this great, cheerful pup!
