SPOTLIGHT MONDAY ‼️ ‼️

Hello, Everyone -

My name is Kreme. 🐶 My family no longer wanted me. They said they were 'too busy' and didn't have time for me. 😢 I am a happy, active and playful dog. I enjoy walks. I am one of the best 'shadows' you will ever meet - I follow my family everywhere. I'm also a good listener. I work very hard at following directions. I want my family to be proud of me. 💕

I am very curious about cats. My foster family isn't sure it is a good idea to introduce me to cats. Since I've been known to chase squirrels, rabbits and birds, they believe that I will chase cats, too. I get very anxious when I see a cat so my foster family keeps me separated from the felines in the house.

I have been around other dogs in the past so there is a possibility that I could have a
sibling one day. That would be nice.

I'm very grateful that my foster family offered a place for me to stay. Had they not welcomed me into their home, I would be sitting in the Summit County Dog Pound right now.
😢

Wow! Our sweet ♥️ Dolly received a lot of interest from her post on Friday. Thank you to everyone who reached out to us about her. We wish we had more 'Dolly's' to go around but, unfortunately, she is the 'one and only'.

Dolly has found a home. Hooray! 🎉 We are very happy for her. She will be one, spoiled little girl.

FYI - Dolly has three brothers:
*Freckles
*Domino
*Pepper

They are still in a shelter but will be with us very soon. 🐶

We will be at Petsmart today on Dressler Road from 10:30-1:00.

Enjoy the last day of November, 2025! 🐾

We hope everyone is enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend and savoring all of those Thanksgiving dinner leftovers. Yum!

We will not have animals at Petsmart, tomorrow. We will be at Petsmart, tomorrow catching up on a few housekeeping tasks but we won't have any of our 4-legged friends with us. They will stay home where it is nice and toasty. 🙂

We will return to Petsmart with our animals on Sunday,November 30th from 10:30 - 1:00.

Stay warm.

Our Story

We operate solely on donations and volunteer efforts. And, yes, it is a challenge. Do we euthanize animals we cannot place? NO! Absolutely not! The fact is, there is no animal that we can't place. Animals with disabilities or with chronic behavioral problems remain in foster care indefinitely. Fortunately, these cases are rare. Where are these animals housed? After being inoculated and given a clean bill of health, every animal is kept in a family environment. Of course, accommodations are limited, but foster homes provide a clean, safe environment where pets are handled frequently, responsibly and lovingly. Typically, they thrive under these conditions, making socialization and assimilation into a new home overwhelmingly successful. Do we take unwanted pets? Typically, no. While needy animals often come in multiples, new homes are carefully chosen...one at a time. Our facilities are usually full of rescues, but we will take photographs and basic information about your pet. Many people are very specific about the animal they wish to adopt. Your pet may be exactly what someone is seeking and we will assist in any way we can.
