Story
Meet Maggie, aka Maggie may, Mag Pie, or Waggy Maggie. She is a 4 yr old American bulldog mix (maybe some boxer in her?) with the biggest heart for humans and naps. She is a fan of her morning and evening walks, cuddle time with her humans, and play time with fetch or tug o war. She is great on a leash, off leash in the yard, or in the car where she enjoys taking in all of the scenery. Maggie may do best in a home where she gets all the love and attention.

Story
🚨New Pup Alert 🚨 Meet Wagyu! She’s our big baby. Our big Bertha. 3-years young, Wagyu Ragu is sweet and social. She loves the outdoors minus water 💦 She loves laying on the back porch and soaking up the sun. Wagyu is great in the crate and potty trained. She loves toys and congregating them all into an OCD pile. She’s got spurts of energy but is a lazy couch potato when you’re sitting in the couch. She loves to cuddle and would prefer to be right up under your arm during a movie night. She loves women and kids and adores men. She’s pretty solid, and weighing in at about 85lbs she’s a hefty gal to scoop into the car. She’s up for an adenture though and we know there’s someone out there ready to give her one!

Story
Dara is a hoot, but also a homebody, and she is the type of girl who would love to be in her jammies back at home by 8pm. Currently living in a foster home, Dara has shown that she is a great cuddler whose favorite place might just be bundled up in bed. She will even bark to let you know when it`s bedtime and she wants a snuggle. She`s not totally lazy, though. She has a nice, moderate activity level, with bursts of silly zoomie energy on occasion. She enjoys walks and hikes, and is working on being a tugboat on leash - she will at least help you up the hills. Her signature move is wriggling her dumpling self around on her back, partly for the joy of it and partly in case you want to give her belly rubs. Dara could be a little timid meeting new people and visiting new places at first, and she`s really come into her own and her goofy personality shines in a home environment. So if you too feel like a bit of an introvert and are looking for a kindred spirit, Dara is your gal. She is also good in her crate, and totally housebroken. She is estimated to be around 5 years old and she weighs a chonky 82 lbs.Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to schedule a meet!

Story
Meet the big friendly galoot that is Tyson! This hilarious goober has a big personality to match his big head. At around 5 years old, Tyson has some manners that come with maturity but retains a very silly spirit to keep you laughing.Tyson is a total goofball and super playful! He loves toys and it`s hilarious to watch his jowls and wrinkles flapping in the breeze when he romps around the yard. He is up for a casual game of fetch, or is content to simply settle down and enjoy some chew time. Tyson is also quite people-oriented. He looks at his favorite humans like they are the best thing in the world. Though he likes his toys, he is even more passionate about getting butt scratches and pets. This gentle giant also has some manners down. He listens well seems eager to please. Though he is a lumbering 80 lbs and can be strong, volunteers report that he is often shows decent leash manners. He also seems house-trained, and he knows how to sit. With other dogs, Tyson was sociable for his play group assessment and he tends to be politely curious passing other dogs on walks.While Tyson certainly has some fun spunkiness, we suspect he would also be grateful to be a couch potato too. He is ready to find a home! If you like big jowly fellas, come see Tyson. You can see www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to set up a meet!

Story
Don`t let her adorable pouty mug fool you - Sable is a cheerful sweetheart who is known for being a nonstop wiggle butt. She is always just happy to be out and about and spending time with friends!Lovable Sable is quite people-oriented and enjoys soaking up attention in the form of pets and, hopefully, lots of treats. Just a little sweet talk, and her whole back half starts wagging like crazy. Sable also enjoys stretching her legs on long walks or with some play time. She loves to smell and explore and makes an eager hiking buddy. She also has a blast emptying out the toy bins. With other dogs, she was social in play group, and she has been polite/quiet passing other dogs on walks. Miss Sable has some basics down already. She tends to keep her kennel tidy so we believe she is housebroken, and she knows how to sit (sometimes she`s a little wiggly and forgets to hold still for long). She is enthusiastic about her treats and can be strong on leash sometimes, but is good about settling into a nice pace when reminded. In the routine and consistency of a home, we think she`ll make a nice, stout companion!Sable is estimated to be around 3.5 years old and weighs 55 lbs.

Story
Meet Revere, a 5 1/2-year-old Boxer/Terrie mix who’s ready to charm his way into your heart with his lovable quirks and resilience. Revere’s journey to us began after a summer thunderstorm, leaving him in need of medical care. Underweight and nursing a fractured right rear leg, this courageous adventurer has proven himself to be a fighter with a goofy grin that’s impossible to resist. Revere also sports a distinctive head tilt, which has been diagnosed as idiopathic meaning its exact cause remains a mystery. Despite extensive testing ruling out common issues like ear infections and vestibular disease, this adorable tilt has become Revere’s signature look. It doesn’t slow him down one bit; instead, it only adds to his charm! He may not look like your average dog due to his special needs, but this spirited guy takes it all in stride and is one of the happiest dogs in our care & a staff and volunteer favorite! During a foster break from the shelter, his foster mom reported that he was housebroken, loved to cuddle with the kids and play with his stuffies! Revere’s ideal home will be one that understands his unique needs. His medical conditions may require ongoing care, and we’re happy to discuss his journey in detail with you. He’s an affectionate, people-loving pup who thrives on attention and praise. While his heart is big, his social skills with other dogs aren’t quite there yet, so Revere will need to be the only pet in the home. This leggy, slanty walker is ready to share his zest for life with a family that will embrace his quirks and provide him the love and care he deserves. Are you ready to give Revere his happily ever after? Reach out to us to learn more about this one-of-a-kind guy! Please note Revere currently resides in a foster home and is not available for same day meet and greets. If interested in learning more about Revere and the adoption process, please email the shelter foster team at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov today!
