We had a client reach out to us who has a friend that needs help finding this guy a new forever home!
This is Cheddar.
Cheddar is 4 years old and is a very good boy- he just gets a little too excited with the new baby in the house. So much so, they have had to keep him up and away from the baby. He has been through training so his owners could try and keep him, but so far it hasn't helped. His current owner is heartbroken about this, so finding the perfect match for him is extremely important.
Some facts about Cheddar:
-He is neutered
-He is ABKC and UKC registered
-Fully potty and crate trained
-Loves taking baths and playing in water
-Loves the snow
-Good for nail trims
-Can be trusted when home to be in other rooms unsupervised-just needs crated when you leave the home.
-He enjoys playing with other dogs, but his energy level sometimes will throw off a new playmate, so use caution. he gets SO EXCITED!
-He has gone through a board and train program, and he has a lifetime support with them, so they will be able to help with new owners.
-He is fearful to strangers. He tends to flee, and not is not aggressive towards them-just runs.
-Best suited in a home with no small children, no small pets due to having a high prey drive (loves to chase small things).
-He is NOT reactive outside of the home or in public and loves walks.

If you or someone you know is interested in meeting Cheddar and potentially adopting him, contact Amber Manes at 330-341-9195. She can also answer any other questions you may have about him!

Pet of the Week📣
Meet Ripley!
Ripley is a 1-year-old Pit bull/Boxer mix.
She loves being outside running and playing in the mud. You also will never see her say no to cuddles and kisses! She also watches TV and is very interested in cartoons and shows. The only movie she has been scared of is the animation Dinosaurs. She would lay behind the couch and pop up periodically to watch it then hide again. She is a character!

Pet of the Week📣
Meet Sakura! Her name means Cherry Blossom in Japanese. Her owners arent positive of her breed, but a good guess is a Shepherd/Husky mix. She also has a beautiful brindle coat. She is about 2 years old.
Her favorite thing to do is getting tons of attention, belly rubs and head scritches. She is a daddy's girl, and loves attention from him the most.
She tends to be a pretty picky eater, but has been known to steal sticks of butter off the counter when the opportunity presents itself!
Here is a quote from Sakura's mom:
"Sakura is a rescue from City Dog Cleveland, we adopted her 4/1/23, she had kennel cough, a hernia(fixed when she was spayed), and was terrified of everything. With lots of training and some confidence from her buddy Grizzly she is a completely different dog today. She is a total couch potato, and loves to nap anywhere she can as long as it’s cool. She enjoys being outside and running and playing with Grizzly, or going for a walk with the whole pack. She also loves the snow and water, and enjoys both to help her stay cool."

* Edit: As much as we love people willing to adopt the baby, she is not currently available due to health issues and someone else potentially taking her in the event she does well. This post is mainly to inform everyone that we cannot take in strays-Thank you!*

Good Morning Everyone!

This morning we found a little kitten friend that was left on our porch here at the clinic. Although we love kittens, and we want the best for any animal- we are not a shelter. This is the second time this has happened in the last month or so.

We do not have any direct access to shelters, and when kittens and other pets are dropped here, if one of our staff members do not volunteer to take it ( all of us are at full capacity with our pets), we have to work hard to try and find a place for the them to go, which we are not equipped for. We also do not have the accommodations to house found animals.
If you are in need of finding a place for a animal that you have found reach out to local rescues and shelters.
Thank you so much!

ANNOUNCEMENT- Dr. Emily is now officially on maternity leave! She is doing very well along with the little one but in this profession it is very hard to continue the physical work it requires.
