Story
I’m a beautiful white pit bull with the biggest smile and heart you’ve ever seen. I don’t know why, but someone decided they didn’t want me anymore and left me — all the way from Akron to the west side of Cleveland. I’m not sure what I did wrong, because I promise I’m a good girl. When my foster mom found me, I hopped right into her car (because I love going for rides!). She soon learned I’d already been spayed and microchipped, which is how she discovered I came from Akron. I’m about three years old, full of love, and always happy. I adore people and make a wonderful protector. I bark when someone comes to the door or near the house — just to let my family know I’ve got their back! I’m great with kids (as long as they’re gentle — no ear pulling, please!). I get along well with some male dogs, but I haven’t met many female dogs yet, so I’m not sure how that would go. My foster mom took great care of me — I’m dewormed, on flea and tick prevention, and feeling healthy and strong. I do get very excited when people come over, and sometimes I jump a bit too much… we’re working on that! Oh, and one more thing — I love pitty-safe toys. I go through toys fast (these jaws mean business!), but I promise it’s all part of my fun-loving charm. I can’t wait to meet my forever family — I know you’ll be the best one for me. 💖 Love, Mavis ✅ About 3 years old ✅ Spayed & healthy ✅ LOVES car rides, kids (who are gentle!), and snuggles ✅ Great with some male dogs ✅ Pro toy destroyer 😅 ✅ Professional doorbell (she’ll let you know when someone’s there!) Mavis is full of joy, loyalty, and big pittie smiles. 🥹 All she wants is a forever home where she’ll be loved as much as she loves in return. 🚗 Ready to ride straight into your heart? 📍Currently being fostered in Cleveland, OH

Story
This boy is ridiculous! He is ridiculously hilarious. Ridiculously charming. Ridiculously handsome. August is just ridiculously AMAZING! Looks, personality, the whole 9 yards 😊He is so darn cute and adorable he’ll have you breaking into a huge smile just looking at him, his face, the way he joyfully prances towards you. August is the ‘let’s frolic in the flowers’, ‘let’s be happy’ kinda guy. There isn’t much critical thinking going on in that adorable block head of his. He doesn’t bark, doesn’t cause a ruckus even if there are commotions going on around him. He simply goes about his business or just quietly sits and observes the ruckus without chiming in. August is amazing with everyone and every dog. He wants to be everyone’s and every dog’s BFF. August makes a wonderful work from home buddy. He will lay quietly in his bed beside you while you type away, trying to meet those numbers and keystrokes. August is so amazing, even Taylor Swift wrote a song titled August :D This kid has me seriously wrapped around his adorable paws. August has a little limp in his left back leg from an old injury but that does not stop him from living the perfect life he is meant to live! No medical attention needed now. August is a 2-year-old, 70lb Pittie. He is looking for a home who embraces his goofiness. Play time, outdoor activities and cuddles are on his checklist. He is a leaner and lover of attention and affection ❤ Kids, dogs in a home are welcome.

Story
Meet Bonita, a sweet and silly mixed-breed girl with a heart full of love and about 44 pounds of pure joy. Estimated to be between one and two years old, Bonita was found as a stray and sadly never claimed. But her resilient, happy spirit hasn’t faded — she’s ready to bring her charm and snuggles into a new forever home. Bonita has a medium energy level and absolutely loves going for walks, though she can get a little excited and pull on the leash at times. She’s a total cannonball of affection — playful, goofy, and full of personality. Whether she’s zooming around the yard or rolling over for belly rubs, she’s always living in the moment and soaking up the love. Her love for life is truly contagious. She should be the only dog in the household. Because she can be a bit of a bowling ball when she plays, she’d do best in a home with older children. Bonita is not a match for homes with cats or small furry pets — she prefers her companions to be less... scurry. The great news is that Bonita is already house trained and crate trained, and she’s an absolute pro when it comes to snuggling. She’s available through our Foster to Adopt program, which means she can settle into your home while she completes her remaining vetting, including spay, microchip, heartworm testing, and updated vaccines. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a dog who’s equal parts joy and affection, Bonita might just be the perfect match. To learn more or to apply, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and complete the online dog adoption application. Her adoption fee is $160.

Story
Meet Griff, a lovable 47-pound male American Staffordshire Terrier who is ready to trade his days as a stray for a life full of love and belonging. Griff is estimated to be 1 year old. Griff is a sweet, affectionate, water-loving goofball with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He truly thrives on human connection and has a serious case of FOMO—if something is happening, Griff absolutely wants to be part of it. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just hanging out, he’s happiest when he’s included.Griff approaches life with enthusiasm and curiosity, especially on walks where his strength and excitement shine through. He will need a confident, strong handler and would greatly benefit from general obedience training to help channel his energy and eagerness to learn. With guidance and consistency, this curious boy has all the potential to be an amazing companion.Griff`s compatibility with other dogs, cats and children is unknown. If you have a resident dog, you must schedule a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along. Griff is available through our foster-to-adopt program, allowing you to welcome him into your home while he completes his routine vetting, including neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and heartworm testing. His skin issues will be addressed. If you’re ready to meet this sweet, affectionate boy and give him the love he’s been searching for, email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and submit a dog adoption application online for Griff. Griff’s adoption fee is $160.

Story
Miss Patsy’s bio from her stay at the shelter: Miss Patsy has been a hit for various activities off-site, from hikes to exploring agility centers to hanging out at a volunteer's house. Patsy was graded as an A+ cuddle buddy, and you'll be tempted to spend all day petting her luscious rolls. She absolutely belongs stretched out on a plush spot on the couch!   Patsy is also a silly, spunky, and playful gal who is full of life and entertaining charm. She enjoys her walks and play time. Patsy has also been playfully social with other dogs and she has a fun time wiggling around the yards with a favorite toy (and showing off her buns!) She's a great sport for trying out all sorts of new activities and adventures, and her earnestly enthusiastic, clumsy approach to life is sure to bring a smile to your face. When she's excited, she can get a little jumpy and exuberant and with this and her size, she would do best in a home with older kids and adults. It doesn't take her too much activity before she's ready to settle back down and snuggle. Patsy is also a smarty who knows sit and down, and she listens well. She also seems housebroken (no accidents) and rides well in the car. She definitely already has some manners down. Patsy has a lot of personality and she's ready to share it with a family. This goofy, attentive lady is estimated to be around 3 years old and weighs 76 lbs.November 19, 2025, 8:39 pm
