🐾 Foster-to-Adopt Puppies Available! 🐾

Cleveland County Animal Services has 7 adorable puppies looking for their forever families! We have **4 boys and 3 girls**, all **8 weeks old** and ready to start their journey home.

These puppies are currently listed as **Beagle/German Shepherd mixes**, and based on their size and development, we do not anticipate them becoming large dogs.

🏡 **What is Foster-to-Adopt?**
These puppies are not yet ready for final adoption because they still need to complete their veterinary care, including being spayed/neutered. Through our Foster-to-Adopt program, you can bring your puppy home now while continuing their care through Cleveland County Animal Services.

Families participating in the program must:
✔️ Keep all scheduled veterinary appointments with the shelter.
✔️ Transport the puppy to and from required appointments.
✔️ Maintain communication with shelter staff throughout the process.
✔️ Understand that by entering the Foster-to-Adopt program, they are committing to adopting the puppy once all requirements are completed.

This is a wonderful opportunity to bond with your new family member from the very beginning while helping us free up much-needed kennel space!

Interested in meeting one of these sweet pups? Stop by Cleveland County Animal Services during our adoption hours or contact us for more information.

❤️ Your new best friend may be waiting for you!

🌸🎀 **Meet Millie – the tiny tornado of tails, toys 🎀🌸

Warning: Adopting (or fostering) Millie may result in uncontrollable smiling, random zoomies in your living room, and a severe shortage of squeaky toys. 🐶💕

This sweet little puppy is looking for a **Foster-to-Adopt** home where she can grow, play, and shower her new family with puppy kisses while she finishes growing big enough for her spay appointment.

✨ **Fostering is FREE!**
🐾 We provide the veterinary care.
🩺 Millie will just need to visit the shelter every couple of weeks for her puppy boosters. Once she's old enough to be spayed, we'll make it official and she'll become your forever best friend!

If your home could use a little more laughter, a few more puppy snuggles, and just a tiny bit of adorable chaos... Millie is your girl! 💖

🏃‍♀️ Don't wait—puppies this cute don't stay available for long!

🦛💗 **Hungry Hungry... HIPPO? Nope... Hungry Hungry CALI!** 💗🦛

Move over, Hungry Hungry Hippos... **Cali the Pibble** is here, and she's playing for the grand prize—a **foster-to-adopt home!** 🐾

Her favorite marbles?
🦴 Treats.
🎾 Toys.
❤️ Belly rubs.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Your entire family.

Cali is ready to gobble up all the love, attention, and couch space you can offer! This sweet pittie has a heart that's even bigger than her adorable smile, and she's looking for a family to help her through our **FREE foster-to-adopt program.**

Here's how it works:
✅ We provide her veterinary care.
✅ You provide the love and a safe place to crash.
✅ Bring her back for scheduled appointments until she's ready for her official adoption.

Warning: Side effects of fostering Cali may include excessive tail wags, spontaneous laughter, and becoming a lifelong "pibble person." 🐶💕

🐾 We provide the veterinary care.
📅 You'll simply bring him back for scheduled appointments until he's ready for his official adoption.
