📱 CALL WHEN YOU CAN. TEXT IF YOU CAN'T. 📱

Did you know you can text 911 in an emergency? Cleveland County wants you to know when texting might be your best option:

✅ If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability
✅ If you cannot speak due to an injury or medical condition
✅ If you're in a threatening situation and a voice call could put you at greater risk
✅ If you can't get a call to go through because of poor mobile reception

In an emergency, text to 911. Cleveland County is here to help. 🚨

🐾Paws & Relax!🐾

Once a month, our shelter gets a little extra dose of joy and comfort thanks to Thor and his amazing human, Amanda!

Our Paws & Relax program gives shelter residents the chance to slow down, relax, and enjoy the benefits of a therapy dog.

A huge thank you to Amanda for sharing Thor's sweet spirit with our clients every month, and to Thor for being the best boy!🐶

Safe relationships prioritize consent and respect each individual's boundaries. Consent isn't assumed, it is communicated.

If you are experiencing control in your relationship, remember that you are not alone💙
