❗️CAT OF THE MONTH - ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED❗️

Cooper is a sweet and affectionate one-year-old boy with the heart of a kitten and the look of a mini panther. He’s full of playful energy and loves nothing more than chasing wand toys and showing off his goofy side.

This handsome guy gets along well with other calm cats and has quickly become a volunteer favorite thanks to his loving personality and talkative nature — he always has something to say!

Cooper weighs 15 pounds and is currently on a special prescription diet to keep his sensitive tummy happy and healthy.

If you’re looking for a loyal, vocal, and endlessly entertaining companion, Cooper might just be your perfect match.

Our volunteers are starting a cat of the month program where they pay the adoption fee🥰

His adoption includes:
Neg FIV & FeLV Test, neuter, microchip, vaccinations, and treatment for fleas, ticks and internal parasites.

Woody is just under a year old and already full of love and charm. He’s great with other dogs and cats, gentle with kids, and a perfect passenger in the car. He enjoys his toys and will carry them around with him. We’ve noticed he’d rather prance than walk, and it’s adorable! He already knows how to sit and down and he is eager to learn more. He is a perfect size at 30lbs. Woody is ready to prance his way into your heart♥️

Sweet little Abbie is patiently waiting for a home of her own. She was found running around a local backyard with her brother when she was about nine weeks old. She spent time in a loving foster home where her foster mom says all she wanted to do was lay in her lap and Abbie is the same way here at the shelter. She is more on the quiet side, but she also loves to play. We hope her family finds her soon. She is 4&1/2 months old.

Her adoption fee is $100.00 which includes spay, microchip, parasite treatments, and age-appropriate vaccines

Please email our shelter to make an appointment to meet her:

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month♥️

Finn is a snuggler🥹 All our volunteers agree that he would make the best snuggle buddy for these cold months. He is super affectionate and gets along with other dogs and kitties. He enjoys car rides, going on walks, and giving kisses. When it’s cold or rainy, he goes out for a quick potty then it’s back in for more snuggles. He would love a home with kids aged 12 and up because he isn’t sure what to think of younger kiddos. This sweet boy deserves a warm and comfy home of his own 🥰

He is about 8 years old and weighs 12 lbs.

All family members and resident dogs must be present for the meet and greet.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month - Meet Dobson🥹

Dobson is in foster so if you would like to make an appointment to meet him, please email the shelter: [email protected]

His foster mom says: “He is such an angel and so easy - completely trustworthy in the house, easy to walk, and cuddly. He doesn’t need a crate and is housebroken”.

Dobson is a gem of a senior gentleman! If you have a soft spot for sugar-dusted faces, then you’ll definitely want to meet this guy.

Dobson is estimated to be around 8 years old, and he’s looking for a home to spend his golden years. Despite ending up in a kennel at his age, he is a happy, friendly fellow. He likes to meet new people and positively melts for butt scratches!

Dobson also has some solid manners. He is easy-going on leash and makes a great walking companion. He’ll gladly show off that he knows how to sit and takes his treats nicely. With other dogs in play group, he was sociable with a gentler style.

Dobson seems like he could make a pleasant, low-key addition to a home that just needs some more good-natured companionship. He deserves to spend his retirement in a loving home with a comfy couch 🥰

Dobson is a hound mix who weighs 41 lbs. All family members and resident dogs must be present for the meet and greet.

His adoption fee is $70.00 which includes neuter, microchip, HW negative test, monthly preventative for fleas/ticks/HW, and up to date vaccines.

Looking for a way to do your little bit of good in the world? 🐶♥️🐱

Join us at 6:30pm on Thursday November 13th at our shelter, and let us show you the many ways you can get involved!

Our address is 7375 Engle Road in Middleburg Hts. We are located in the Middleburg Hts Service Center.

The first step to volunteering with us is to attend the New Volunteer Information Session. This session will provide you with information to help you determine where you’d like to participate.

During the session, you’ll learn about the shelter, what our volunteers and fosters do, and what additional volunteer opportunities are available. For roles that require additional training, the presentation will include information on the next steps in the process.

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities to fit your schedule and availability, whether you have a lot of free time or just a little. And in addition to volunteering directly at the shelter, there are also behind-the-scenes opportunities where your skills and experience could make a world of difference for animals in need.

Please note: volunteers under 18 years of age need to have a parent or guardian with them at all times, and available activities will be at the discretion of the Shelter Manager.

The animals are why we do what we do – join us, and find out how you can be a part of making sure that these dogs and cats are given a chance to live their best lives 🥰

Kevin is currently in foster, please email the shelter to make an appointment to meet him: [email protected]

Kevin hasn’t had the easiest start in life, and you can see a bit of that uncertainty in his eyes. But thanks to the love and patience of his foster family, he’s learning that people can be kind and safe. Kev would love another dog in his forever home.

This gentle boy is slowly letting his sweet personality shine through — offering little kisses and showing his affection in the most endearing way: by sneaking his foster mom’s shoes into his bed to cuddle with.

Kevin is ready to keep growing in confidence and love with a family who will give him the time and care he deserves.

Here is a note from his foster mom:
“Kevin is a shy guy who needs a hand to hold while exploring the big scary world. Someone who is kind and very patient. He can be aloof until he picks you as his person and then he appreciates your presence and loves to stay very close. He loves his crate and sleeps well in it overnight. He is house trained and will give you “the look” or go towards the door when he needs to go out. He is good with small children, but can be hesitant with adult strangers. He loves other dogs as well. He shows a lot of intelligence, working on walking on leash and doesn’t show any aggression towards anything. He is a bit stubborn (and fearful) and needs a firm but positive approach to get him to do something he isn’t comfortable with. But once he is comfortable his confidence shines! He is now officially spoiled and prefers soft food over kibble. He is treat motivated and this will help with training, but also just a gentle pet behind his ears and a positive verbal response works just as well. Overall Kevin is slowly coming out of his shell and would be a fun and loving addition to any person or family!”

All family members and resident dogs must be present for the meet and greet.
