My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing the delightful Hondo!

Hondo is a 6-year-old Akita weighing approximately 92 pounds. Initially shy, he quickly blossoms into a social butterfly once he feels comfortable in his surroundings. Hondo`s true nature shines through as a sweet and affectionate companion. He takes pleasure in going on walks and indulging in playful activities with his favorite toys. While Hondo may not be fond of other dogs or cats, he thrives as the sole dog in the home, showering his human family members with all the love and attention they need. Given his initial sensitivity, it is recommended that any children in his forever home are aged 13 and older.

Be sure to watch the adorable video of Hondo exploring the play yard and checking in with one of his favorite people! Witness his handsome looks and sweet disposition as he roams around, enjoying his surroundings. The video perfectly captures Hondo`s charming personality and showcases his irresistible cuteness.

If Hondo sounds like the perfect addition to your family, give us a call at 330-487-0333 ext 803 to learn more about him , or stop by the facility at 752 Portage Trail, ext W, 44313.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptable animals are up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, de-flea and microchipped before adoptions are finalized. All dogs over six months of age receive a temperament assessment by our Certified Professional Dog Trainer to ensure appropriate placement. Also, many animals in our care receive basic obedience training to improve manners and increase adoptability.

We are currently doing adoptions by appointment only. Please contact us by phone at (234) 212-9843 or email at adoptions@summithumane.org, and an adoption counselor will return your message. They will review our adoption process, answer any questions, and tell you more about the animals currently available for adoption at our shelter and in our foster program. If we have a match for you and your family, an appointment will be scheduled to meet the animal.

Additional questions can be directed to our adoption team at (234) 212-9843.
