Story
If joy had four legs, a wagging tail, and a big ol’ smile—it would be named Dickens. At just 7 months old, this pit mix puppy is already a legend in the making. He’s the life of the party, the king of playgroup, and possibly the mayor of wherever he goes (unofficial, but we’re working on it).Dickens doesn’t just like other dogs—he LOVES them. Big dogs, little dogs, slow dogs, fast dogs, dogs who ignore him—he wants to be friends with everyone. And humans? Forget it. He’ll greet you like you’ve been besties for years. Didn’t sign up for face kisses? Too bad. Dickens says love is non-negotiable.He’s still mastering the fine art of “calm,” but when your heart is this big and your wiggle is this strong, it’s hard to chill. Life is just too exciting!Ready to add a little chaos, a lot of cuddles, and a whole ton of tail wags to your life? Dickens is your dude.

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!
