Meet Pinto, the little sweet spitfire who's always on the go! Described by volunteers as a bundle of energy, Pinto is constantly on the move, exploring every corner and sniffing out new adventures.

Pinto is a recent graduate of our Grafton Prison program. There he learned his basic commands and was practicing his house training! Pinto showed that he loves other dogs there by being a big time star in their playgroups!

Despite the lively energy, Pinto is incredibly sweet and loves making new friends along the way. If you're looking for a playful and affectionate companion who's ready to explore the world with you, Pinto is the perfect match!

Please note that a meet and greet with all other dogs in the home is required before Pinto can be adopted. Pinto is a 3 year-old Pekingese mix and weighs 27 lbs.

from Free Roam Room pals Asher, Rayna, Frank and Freddie!

Here's what our cat volunteers had to say about this:

It's officially the Tabby Cubby!
It's an album cover for an all-cats Queen cover band!
They must think it's a phone booth!
They should be on a Hallmark card!
It's a little tiger den!
It's amazing they can all fit in there, but they enjoy the togetherness!

If you're looking for a cat-friendly feline, or two, ask to visit our free roam room when you come in to visit.

FALL IN LOVE with Goliath!

**To meet Goliath, please text Rachael at 440-773-0270.**

Meet Goliath, a gentle giant with a big heart! This strong, goofy, and playful boy is full of love and will bring plenty of fun and laughter to your home. With his distinctive, cool nose and silly personality, Goliath is sure to charm everyone he meets. He's generally low-key, does well in his kennel, and doesn't bark much, making him an easy-going companion. Goliath gets along well with other dogs and would do best in a home with older kids who can handle his strength-he's still working on his jumping. If you're looking for a loving, playful, and goofy buddy, Goliath might just be the perfect match!

Goliath is a 2 year-old Rottweiler and weighs 88 lbs.

Miss Trinity enjoying time at the park on this beautiful Fall day.

Trinity is a remarkable three-legged dog looking for her forever home. She was found by a Good Samaritan in a ditch on the side of the road. Despite appearing well cared for, no owner came forward to claim her.

Trinity is a bundle of energy and love. Her foster family describes her as an active tripod who runs, jumps, and enjoys zoomies when let out of her crate. She is crate trained and house trained, making her an excellent candidate for a loving home.

While Trinity hasn't met other dogs in her current foster home, she seems to be selective about her doggy friends. Sometimes she appears eager to play when seeing dogs across the street, while other times, she may seem more defensive. Therefore, a meet and greet with any dogs in your family is required before adoption.

Initially, Trinity might be nervous around new people, but she warms up quickly with a little patience and kindness. She's still learning how to play with toys but adores being outside, LOVES CAR RIDES, and enjoys walks, though she tires a bit quicker due to her tripod status. Trinity is also a big fan of giving kisses and licks!

Trinity is a 2.5 year-old Pitt Bull Terrier mix and weighs 49 lbs. She is currently available at the shelter during open hours.

Happy National Cat Day from Asher & Rayna. Remember, if you're looking for a cat-friendly cat, or two, ask to visit our free roam room.

Meet Asher, a gentle soul with a heart full of love. Her world is one of soft whispers and gentle strokes, preferring the quiet corners of life. Though she might be shy, don't mistake her caution for indifference. She's merely taking her time to trust, to open up. Once she does, her love is all-encompassing. She adores being petted, her purrs a testament to her contentment. Every stroke, every gentle word, brings her out of her shell a little more. With patience, Asher will reward you with a bond that is deep and meaningful. Adopt Asher and discover the joy of a quiet love, the beauty of a friendship that asks for nothing but patience and gentle care.

Meet Rayna, a young soul full of warmth and kindness. Though a tad shy, her sweetness is undeniable. She's a gentle purrer, her soft hums a soothing melody that could turn any rough day around, especially when Churro is involved. Rayna adores the company of other cats, basking in their presence and playfulness. Her love for feline companionship makes her an excellent addition to a home with an existing cat, especially one that can help her adjust. Her gentle nature and quiet demeanor make her a wonderful companion for someone who will give her time and patience to settle in. Adopting Rayna is not just bringing a pet home, it's welcoming a friend who will shower you with unconditional love and loyalty.

Happy National Cat Day from Clover! Clover was previously adopted in July, but the resident cat would just not accept Clover into the home. The adopters did say she is very friendly and loves to snuggle and did great with their dog.

Meet Clover! Her sweet and friendly nature makes her a delight to be around. Clover is a kid-friendly feline, showing patience and kindness around children during reading time. Her gentle demeanor makes her a perfect companion for families or individual pet-parents. With her, every day will be filled with joy and companionship. Adopt Clover and welcome a bundle of love and positivity into your life.

Clover is a 1.5 year-old Domestic shorthair and weighs just under 7 lbs. (Please note, we do have two Clovers available at this time).

Today is National Cat Day! Let's see your kitties in the comments below.

National Cat Day on October 29th is the purrfect day to give extra attention to your feline friends. Shelters are full of cats and kittens in need of forever homes. These feline fur babies come with as many personalities as they do colors and coats. They curl into our hearts and will just as quickly remind us they decide who they love. Whether they were born in the shelter, surrendered or abandoned, 3.4 million find their way to a shelter.

When considering the adoption of a furbaby, take your time. Each shelter animal will touch your heart, so be sure to find a life-long love.
*Consider your lifestyle. Will you have time for an active kitten or will an adult cat be more to your pace?
*Sometimes, the purrfect cat will choose you.
*Do other members of your fur family need to be considered? If so, be sure to do a proper introduction.
*When you bring your new family member home, have a space ready for him to decompress and adjust to his new abode. Don’t be surprised if he hides at first. This is normal cat behavior.

If you're ready to add a furry companion to your life, you can view ARF's adoptable cats, including those pictured, at https://www.bereaanimalrescue.com/cat-adoptions/

Five-month-old Kathy and Kobe are so playful together around young children and adults. This young reader was very concerned that they might not be adopted together. He could tell they were best friends.

Kathy and her brother Kobe are a bonded pair. We would love to see them find a home together.

Meet Kathy, a delightful kitten who has captured the hearts of everyone at the shelter with her playful antics and sweet disposition. Her friendly nature extends not only to humans but also to her fellow feline companions, including her brother Kobe. Kathy loves to engage in a game of chase with a paper bag or a laser pointer, her playful spirit shining through in every leap and pounce. She's also known for her sweetness and ok with being picked up. Kathy's friendly, playful, and sweet nature make her an ideal companion. Adopt Kathy, and let her bring a touch of joy and warmth to your home.

Meet Kobe, a kitten whose spirit shines as bright as the sun. His sweetness is contagious, always ready to purr and nuzzle into your side. He's friendly too, always up for playing with his sister Kathy. Kobe's playful nature is a joy to witness. He can turn any object into a toy, and his antics are sure to bring laughter into your home. But what truly sets Kobe apart is his heart. He loves unconditionally and asks for nothing more than to be loved in return. Adopting Kobe isn't just about giving a kitten a home, it's about welcoming a bundle of joy that will enrich your life with love, laughter, and friendship.

Kathy and Kobe have tested positive for FIV and require specific care as a result. For more information, please email [email protected]

Once again, we have a dog celebrating a heartbreaking milestone. Tuesday arrived 10/28/23 and she's still waiting. Please read Tuesday's bio and if you think she may be a good fit, please contact her consultant, Rachael, at 440-773-0270.

Hi there! I'm Tuesday, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home! I'm a 3.5 year old Shepherd-Border Collie mix.

Here's a bit about me:

Housebroken: I'll let you know when I need to go outside by ringing bells or giving you a nudge.
Crate-trained: I'm comfortable in my crate, especially if I have some treat-filled toys to keep me occupied. I might get a bit too excited with the toys, though, so it's best to use them mainly when I'm in the crate.
Free-roaming: I'm trusted to stay out of the crate now! While my foster mom is at work, I enjoy napping, watching squirrels, or playing with my toys.
Quick learner: I know commands like sit, down, stay, come, shake paw, no-jump, and off. I'm still working on heeling, but I can do it on either side. I understand "okay as a cue to relax.
Toy lover: I enjoy a variety of toys-fetching them, bringing them to you, or just playing by myself.
Active and athletic: Whether it's walking, jogging, or running, I'm up for it! If you prefer a quieter activity, I love running around a yard.
Car rides: I'm a pro at car rides and enjoy trips to different places, like the Metro Park.
Snuggly: Once I get to know you, I'm all about cuddles and giving kisses!
Social skills: I'm working on meeting new dogs. I can be a bit nervous at first, but I warm up quickly. Especially to younger dogs that are respectful.
Special needs: I'd be happiest in a home without other animals or a younger dog that will give me time to warm up. I do think I would rather not live with small kids because I don't really like to share my food and toys.

If I sound like a good fit for you, get in touch with Rachael at 440-773-0270 to arrange a meeting. I can't wait to meet you and see if we're a perfect match!

10/27/2024

Don't be superstitious on National Black Cat Day! October 27th celebrates the beauty of these sleek creatures. The day also seeks to raise awareness about the low adoption rates for black cats.

This time of year, many black cats may decorate many thresholds for Halloween and windows for spooky decor. However, these felines deserve the love and attention just as much as their tabby equivalents. Old notions have given these furry critters a bad reputation. The day is about turning that reputation around.

Their black canine counterparts also face similar adoption problems. So, it's not all about myth and mystery. However, increasing support for the black feline's plight is the goal of this companion holiday.

If you're ready for a new addition to your family, we have a wonderful lineup of black cats and kittens. We're open today from 1-4pm.
You can see all available cats at https://www.bereaanimalrescue.com/cat-adoptions/
