Story
Meet Jersey 🐾 Jersey is a sweet, loving 4‑year‑old female dog who has been part of our family since the day she was born. She has grown up surrounded by love and has brought our family endless joy with her gentle nature and affectionate personality. Jersey is friendly, loyal, and truly enjoys being around people. She thrives on companionship and has so much love to give. Anyone who welcomes her into their home will be gaining a devoted and caring friend. Unfortunately, due to changes in our family, we are no longer able to give Jersey the care and attention she deserves. My mother, who has been one of Jersey’s primary caregivers, is aging and can no longer care for a dog. This decision comes from a place of love and responsibility—we want Jersey to have a safe, stable, and happy home where she can continue to thrive. We are looking for a kind, patient family or individual who can give Jersey the love and care she deserves.

Story
Dog sitting and owner never returned. This has been difficult because we are not a pet family. The dog housed in garage, he seems to prefer to be outside. He does not like the basement and will not go down there. He is playful and I little clumsy. He has not shown any aggressive behavior towards any of our guest including children. He has gotten out of the yard a couple times, once he was sitting at bus stop with kids he did not know. When people walk dogs by the fence he runs back and forth barking. I think he is a sweet dog but we can't manage him. We tried to get him in a no kill shelter and was not able to. We have many family events at the home with different people and again no issues

Story
Say hello to ApolloApollo is a 6 year-old Pitbull mix who weighs 85 lbs! Apollo is a happy go lucky boy who may need a few yummy treats in order to feel comfortable. He enjoys playing with toys or lounging on the couch, but he also loves a nice long walk. Once he knows you, he is very affectionate and can`t wait to smother you with kisses. Apollo can be nervous with new dogs and needs a slow introduction to form a lasting bond. With management and a gentle hand, he shows potential to live with another dog, but he would likely prefer to be the only dog in his forever home so he can soak up all of your love! Apollo does not show potential to live with cats in his forever home. Since he can be sensitive at first, if there kids in his forever home he would do best with kids ages 13 and older. If Apollo sounds like he might be a good fit, stop in today to meet this handsome pup!

Story
Meet Cash! Cash is a 3-year-old mixed breed boy weighing around 51 pounds with a gentle heart and a thoughtful nature. He can be sensitive when meeting new people and may need some extra time to feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. With patience, calm interactions, and consistency, Cash begins to relax and show his young playful nature. He’s looking for adopters who understand that trust is earned and are willing to let him move at his own pace.Because of his sensitivity, if there are children in Cash’s forever home, they must be ages 13 and older and able to respect his boundaries. Cash is insecure and hesitant around other dogs, so slow, structured introductions would be best if there are future canine companions in the home. But he may prefer to be the only pup in is forever home so that he could soak up all your attention. At this time, we are unsure how Cash does with cats.Cash would thrive in a calm, supportive environment where he can continue building confidence and forming strong bonds. With the right home, he has all the potential to become a loyal and loving companion.If Cash sounds like the kind of dog you’d like to give a chance to, stop in and meet him at The Humane Society of Summit County — he may just be waiting for you!

Story
Meet Achilles!Achilles is a goofy 5 year old 60 pound male pitt-mix ready to find his forever home and forever family! Sweet but sensitive in nature, Achilles may take a little longer than the average pup to warm up to new people and places, but once he does, he transforms into a bouncy happy pup. Playful and sweet, Achilles is equal parts activity and affection. He loves chewing on a squeaky toy as much as he enjoys spending time with his favorite humans.Achilles shows potential to live with other pups in his forever home, however he will need a slow introduction as he can come on to his canine companions quite strong. A slow intro will help ensure that both Achilles and his new pup pal feel safe and comfortable as they adjust to each other`s presence. At this time we are unsure of how Achilles does with cats.Due to his sensitive nature, if there are children living in Achille`s forever home, we are requiring that they are 13+.Looking to give a sweet, goofy pup the loving home and endless play he needs? Stop by the Humane Society of Summit County today and meet Achilles, or call (330) 487-0333 ext. 803 for more information!

Story
Meet Waddles!Waddles is a 6-year-old female dog weighing around 73 pounds who is looking for a calm and understanding home. She can be a bit sensitive when meeting new friends and prefers to take things at a slower pace, but with patience and respect, her true personality begins to shine.Waddles is interested in new dogs, but doesn`t seem to want to live with another dog in her forever home. She shows potential to coexist with visiting dogs, but she would prefer to be the only animal in her forever home. Because of her sensitive nature, Waddles would do best in a home with older children only. Kids ages 13 and up should understand how to respect her boundaries, as she does not enjoy excessive handling. Waddles is very intense with small animals, so she cannot live in a home with cats. If you’re looking for a mellow companion who values quiet moments and a gentle approach, Waddles may be the perfect fit. Stop by the Humane Society of Summit County to meet her and learn more about how she could fit into your home.
