Story
Meet Alice - Your Loyal Companion!Are you searching for a furry friend who understands the true meaning of loyalty? Look no further than Alice! This precious 2-year-old Pit Bull is not just another dog; she's a sensitive soul looking for a forever home filled with love, patience, and understanding. Alice may have had a rough start in life, but she's proving to be a resilient and bright pupil. She's currently learning the ropes of meeting new people and furry friends in a controlled environment. Her sweet demeanor shines through as she eagerly adapts and learns each day. Don't let her sassy cage presence fool you; Alice is a chatterbox with a heart of gold. While she might talk up a storm in her kennel, once she's out and about, she's a gentle and loving companion. Due to her sensitive nature, Alice would thrive in a calm and nurturing environment without small children. She's looking for a home where she can be the center of attention or share the spotlight with a calm and well-established male dog of similar size.

Story
Our handsome hunk-Niko is waiting to meet you!! Niko has been with us a long time and was lucky enough to score a foster home to search for his furevers at. Match making is hard work, he prefers to pose on a couch vs in his kennel here. His foster parents and siblings adore him, we get nothing but great reports. Niko is extremely dog social with both female and male dogs. He bounces back and forth from a rough player to a gentle mosier. Niko does not know the word stranger, as he absolutely adores every human in his path! He is housebroken, crate trained, knows basic commands and how to share his things with his dog siblings. Interested in meeting our perfect boy? Email us today at foster@cuyahogacounty.us!

Story
Woof! Hey there, pals! My name's Freight, and let me tell ya, I've got a story to bark about! I'm a proud 5-year-old Great Dane, standing tall and wagging strong. Life hasn't been all bones and belly rubs for me, but I'm a survivor, through and through!You see, I've conquered the big bad Heartworm beastie like a champ. It wasn't easy, but with lots of love and care, I wagged my way through treatment and came out on top. Now, I'm feeling fit as a fiddle and ready to sniff out all the adventures life has to offer!I'm a dog who knows how to enjoy the simple pleasures, like leisurely walks where I can take in all the scents of the world around me. Oh, and don't get me started on my love for hanging out with other dogs! There's nothing quite like a good old-fashioned playdate to get my tail wagging.But hey, I'm not just a four-legged fluffball-I'm also a student! Yep, you heard that right. I'm currently hitting the books (well, more like hitting the treats) at Miracle Canine Training. They're helping me fine-tune my skills and become the best boy I can possibly be. And guess what? They even offer follow-up training to ensure I stay on my best behavior!So, if you're on the lookout for a well-trained, lovable companion who's been through the ruff stuff and come out stronger on the other side, then look no further! Just shoot an email over to foster@cuyahogacounty.us, and we can arrange a meet and greet. Trust me, folks, you won't regret giving this good boy a chance to wiggle his way into your heart!
