Dickens is a 9-month-old young man with a lot of potential and a great foundation. He’s a smart, attentive boy who listens well to corrections and is eager to do the right thing. With some continued guidance and structure, Dickens will grow into a wonderful companion.He walks nicely on a leash, does well riding in the car, and already knows how to sit and wait, showing off his growing manners. Dickens would thrive in a home where he can be the only pet, allowing him to soak up all the attention and build a strong bond with his people.Because he’s still young and learning, Dickens is best suited for a home with older children who can respect his space and help reinforce his training.If you’re looking for a loyal, well-mannered pup who enjoys adventures, car rides, and learning new skills, Dickens may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Velvet is a 2-year-old Pit Bull mix with a gentle heart and a sweet, loving nature. True to her name, she’s soft in both spirit and demeanor, winning over everyone she meets with her calm and affectionate personality. In playgroup, Velvet is social and enjoys the company of other well-mannered dogs—both male and female—matching their energy beautifully. She is seeking a home without small pets or small dogs. Velvet is also working through some stranger danger on leash, and she will need adopters or fosters who can provide reassurance, patience, and steady guidance as she continues building confidence in new situations. She can be a bit shy with sudden, fast movements, so she’s hoping for a home with kids 10 and older who can give her the calm, kind companionship she deserves. This delightful girl is looking for a foster-to-adopt home to support her through heartworm treatment, which will be fully managed and covered by the shelter`s veterinary team.If you`re interested in learning more about Velvet and her heartworm needs, please email the foster team at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov today!

Story
Lilith is a beautiful 3-year-old sweetheart who has been my baby since she was just a tiny little thing. I’ve had her her whole life, and she has grown up surrounded by love, care, and affection. She’s not just a pet to me — she’s family. This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Unfortunately, due to a recent move, the place I’m currently living is not safe or suitable for her. As much as it breaks my heart, I love her too much to keep her in an environment where she could be stressed, uncomfortable, or at risk. She deserves peace, stability, and a home where she can truly thrive.

Meet Pip-squeak, both outgoing with her friend`s, but shy when on new adventures and will look at you for guidance.

Then let her explore it.` We believe she is housebroken, knows sit and down, loves to play tug-o-war and cuddling. On a staycation, she was described as being housebroken, active, loving to cuddle and knows her basic commands. She would like to be an only pet and kids 8+. Or as a staff member summed up, `She`s a good dog`. If interested in learning more about Pip-Squeak and the adoption process, please email the shelter foster team at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov today!

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.
