Meet our fabulous Harley! Commonly known as Har-Har to her fans.Harley is roughly 7 years old, full of sweetness, spunk and only a little sassiness. It is impossible to not be one of her biggest fans with how far she has come. Harley has worked with Miracle K9 to perfect her leash walking skills, overall manners and comfortability with handling. She is a dream on leash and just loves to be with a friend.In all of her foster homes, she is housebroken, quiet, independent but cuddly enough to please and does some excited `tippy-taps` often. She is polite with her toys and fully enjoys an afternoon of nibbling on a stuffy. TV watching is top of the list for her favorite hobbies, next to testing out every blanket in the home for peak nap experience. Harley is looking to be the only pet at home with older children (or adults only). She has been waiting for too long-come scoop her up!

Story
Arnie is the definition of sweet and sensitive. When we first met Arnie, it took a couple days for him to open up to us and realize the world is not that scary. Through encouraging words, sweet voices and introducing to other dogs-he began to open up more & more. Arnie has been residing in a foster home for a few months with two other dogs and adults. He is very dog social and does well with any other friendly pups. Arnie is a major walk enthusiast, toy lover, good share-er with his friends and such an easy house addition. While he is nervous with new people, once he gets to know you, the bond will be unbreakable and he will be your shadow. Arnie is 100% a house dog. If interested in setting up a meet/greet with Arnie, please email us at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov today!

Cricket is a sweet and soulful 8-year-old pup with a big heart and an even bigger nose! He absolutely loves to follow scents on a walk, making every outing a mini adventure. While he can be a bit strong on the leash at times, he’s very receptive to training and is already learning to walk more politely with consistency and patience.Cricket thrives with structure and would do best with a confident handler who enjoys active walks and doesn’t mind a little pit bull enthusiasm. He’s incredibly affectionate, loves being near his people, and will reward your love with loyalty, snuggles, and a few goofy grins.If you`re looking for a faithful companion who`s ready to explore the world with you — one sniff at a time — Cricket might just be your perfect match.
