Story
This lovable lady arrived at the shelter in late October, pregnant and ready to embark on a new chapter in her life. Thanks to a wonderful foster mom, Twix had a safe, cozy home to welcome her puppies into the world. Now, with her motherly duties complete, Twix is ready to find her forever family.Here’s what Twix’s foster mom has to share about her:Affectionate Companion: Twix is the ultimate snuggle buddy. She loves to climb up on the couch, curl up by your side, and be your loyal companion.Potty Pro: Twix is house-trained and follows a potty schedule like a pro. She’ll even let you know with a bark if she needs to go outside off schedule—even in the worst weather!Toy Lover: Twix has a playful side and enjoys chewing on Benebones and antlers. She has a quirky habit of carefully guarding her favorite toys in her crate—though her preference for which toys to protect is a mystery!Quiet and Alert: While not an excessive barker, Twix will let you know when someone (or something) is nearby. Otherwise, she’s a calm and quiet girl.Walks Like a Champ: Twix loves daily walks and does well on a leash, especially with a Sensible harness. While she can be strong-willed when she spots a squirrel or deer, her leash manners are generally great.Crate Lover: Twix finds comfort in her crate, often choosing it as her go-to spot for sleeping and relaxing. It’s her personal sanctuary where she keeps her treasures safe.What Twix Needs in a Home:Twix thrives in a calm and loving environment. While she adores people, she’s still learning how to navigate interactions with other dogs and may need a home where she’s the only pet or with a family ready to help her work on this skill. Her ideal home includes lots of snuggles, playtime, and plenty of love.Are you ready to give Twix the forever home she deserves? She’s sure to fill your days with affection, joy, and endless tail wags!

Arnie is a four-year-old Pit Bull with a gentle soul. He can be shy and nervous in new situations, so he’ll need a patient home to help build his confidence.

He gets along well with other dogs but isn’t particularly playful—he prefers quiet company over rough-and-tumble games. At this time, we are requiring a resident dog in Arnie`s forever home. With time, love, and reassurance, Arnie is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion. Could you be the one to give him the safe and supportive home he deserves?

Story
Shades is a velvety little nugget of a girl. She is super sweet and playful, once you gain her trust. Shades is a great dog! She is shy and the shelter is a very scary place for her, but once she warms up to you she is the most affectionate dog. She likes to sit on top of you! No personal space with this girl! She is a couch potato but will get the zoomies occasionally. She loves to run and play in the yard! She has sadly been euth listed, but has spent a great deal of time in the office, meeting everyone who comes into the shelter. She is about 2 years old & around 40lbs. We can only pull her with an approved foster or adopter. She will visit our trainer for an assessment once we are able to pull her. If you are interested in this teeny girl, please fill out an application.

Story
Hi my name is Goji Berry but I go by Goji. I am a 7 month old pitbull. I was having trouble eating when I was around 5 weeks old so I went to the vet and found out I have Hydrocephalus. It was touch and go for a bit but was thriving in my special needs foster home. I have had some issues with anemia and have had a blood transfusion but have been doing great since. I have a mild case of Hydrocephalus and am on a few medications which includes Omeprazole (for my hydrocephalus) Vitamin B12 tablet - CoBalequin (for my anemia) and a probiotic - Proviable - Forte for my stomach because I have loose stools. I am still learning a few things including, potty training, I will use puppy pads in the house but sometimes still have accidents. I need to learn not to eat everything in sight and not to chew on things, and am learning basic commands. I am very smart but, learning commands has taken me longer because of my condition. I do like other dogs and puppies if they aren't bossy. I like to chase cats and pick on them, but don't hurt them. I am a vocal girl. I would require someone who is home all the time bc I need to be watched to make sure I don't eat things I shouldn't, and I will require a patient owner who will be willing to take their time with me as I take time to learn. Younger kids would not be ideal but older children would be. I am still learning to not bite hard. I like to eat my food to fast, so I eat out of a slow feeder bowl. I am utd on my shots and will be getting spayed soon

Bia is a fearless, energetic pittie puppy. She definitely lives up to her name. Slowly but surely she is coming out of her shell. Bia is a pretty content little lady. She loves to play with her foster brother as well as snuggle up with him. Overall Bia is pretty chill she loves to cuddle up for naps and also loves to run around and show off her toys. So far the toys she prefers are the ones that make a crinkle noise, hard chew toys, and chuck it balls. Breakfast time she often gets a puzzle bowl or ball which she loves the challenge! She is working on crate training and on potty training (she’s nearly there) She is doing well learning sit and patience around food time and waiting patiently until given her free command. She is so smart and loves to please. Bia will make a great addition to any home looking for a vibrant puppy with a sweetheart personality.

Story
Meet Revere, a 5-year-old Boxer/Terrie mix who’s ready to charm his way into your heart with his lovable quirks and resilience. Revere’s journey to us began after a summer thunderstorm, leaving him in need of medical care. Underweight and nursing a fractured right rear leg, this courageous adventurer has proven himself to be a fighter with a goofy grin that’s impossible to resist. Revere also sports a distinctive head tilt, which has been diagnosed as idiopathic meaning its exact cause remains a mystery. Despite extensive testing ruling out common issues like ear infections and vestibular disease, this adorable tilt has become Revere’s signature look. It doesn’t slow him down one bit; instead, it only adds to his charm! He may not look like your average dog due to his special needs, but this spirited guy takes it all in stride and is one of the happiest dogs in our care! Revere’s ideal home will be one that understands his unique needs. His medical conditions may require ongoing care, and we’re happy to discuss his journey in detail with you. He’s an affectionate, people-loving pup who thrives on attention and praise. While his heart is big, his social skills with other dogs aren’t quite there yet, so Revere will need to be the only pet in the home. This leggy, slanty walker is ready to share his zest for life with a family that will embrace his quirks and provide him the love and care he deserves. Are you ready to give Revere his happily ever after? Reach out to us to learn more about this one-of-a-kind guy! Please note Revere resides in a foster home and is not available for same day meet and greets. If interested in learning more about Revere or scheduling a meet and greet, please contact the foster team at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov today!
